Feasibility of X-ray scattering for tracer-free liquid-phase thermometry for multiphase flows

Halls, Benjamin R.; Rahman, Naveed A.; Matusik, K.E.; Meyer, T.R.; Kastengren, A.L.

The feasibility of liquid temperature measurements using X-ray scattering is investigated for liquids with varying properties (water, ethanol, and n-dodecane) on beamline 7-BM at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. The temperature is inferred through the change in the scattering pattern from the liquid as a function of temperature using partial least squares regression. An accuracy of ∼98% or higher was achieved enabling measurements for a wide range of applications.
