THE EFFECTS OF GEOMETRIC FACTORS ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF TWO ELECTRODES AND THREE ELECTRODES CONDUCTIVITY CELLS: A MODELLING AND SIMULATION SOFTWARE APPROACH
Luis Gurriana
Abstract:
This paper presents a study of the effects of geometric factors on the behaviour of conductivity cells for water quality monitoring.
A modelling and simulation software tool has been used to study the variation of the current density near the cells and its influence on the value of the geometric factor as well as in the value of conductivity.
The effect of the number of electrodes and their relative positions in the value of geometric constant of cells are shown as well as several plots of electric field and current density for different values of conductivity and in the presence of conductive and non conductive objects to study their influence on the conductivity measurements.
