I am doing experiments with toluene as a fluid medium. I am having trouble with Polyamide seeding particles for PIV analysis (specific gravity=1.03) which gets deposited at the bottom during long run of experiments. The problem with toluene is that its density gets vary after every 10°C increase in temperature while density of seeding particles is always constant. I search about seeding particles for toluene-PIV in many papers but could not got any help. I am in search of best suited seeding particles for toluene PIV analysis.
The working specific gravity range required is : 0.876 to 0.810.
Any help regarding to this is most appreciated.
There is the article part II in my profile. It may not help to choose seeding particles but it may be useful in your analyses. Good luck.
Hi,
Because of the dangerous properties of toluene, did you think about alternatives which can be safer ?
Why you don't use a substitute where cost and security aspects, as well as the physical parameters should be considered ?
Best regards.
