Apparatus For Dielectric Constant Measurements And Measurements For Water-Methanol Mixtures, James O. Wear Jan 1970

Apparatus For Dielectric Constant Measurements And Measurements For Water-Methanol Mixtures, James O. Wear

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A system for measuring dielectric constants has been constructed using a Sargent Oscillometer and an air bath for temperature control. The design and construction of the air bath as well as the temperature control achieved with it are described. The overall performance of the system including a computer program for forming the calculations is described. The system is one that requires calibration using two or more standard solvents and is good for both conducting and non-conducting liquids. Data are presented for water-methanol mixtures at 25 degrees with several points near pure methanol and also near pure water
