Abstract

A simple method for determining the mean size, the concentration, and the refractive index of the monodispersion and the polydispersion of particles has been presented. The method is based on the empirical inversion of measurements of forward-angle light-scattering transmittance. The effects of particle size distribution and optical constants on forward-angle-scattering transmittance have been considered by using Mie theory. The proposed method has been used successfully for single latex spheres in water and polydispersed weakly absorbing particles of Al2O3 and SiO2 in the flow of the propane–air flame combustion products.
