Abstract
The article a the new design of flowing refractometer of differential type for media condition control both in laminar and turbulent flow regimes is considered. Given the peculiarities of the location of the flow and closed cuvette and the angles of incidence of laser radiation on their walls we have implemented a new method of measuring the refractive index n in new developed design of refractometer. This allowed us to make the influence of a number of errors related with unbalance voltage on the photoelectric converter, with an increase in the number of reflections between optical elements of laser radiation, with the presence of a transport link for the selection of flowing fluid and temperature fluctuations on the result of measuring the refractive index. The technique allowing to reduce the influence of change of the optical density of the flowing liquid on the measurement error of refractive index is proposed. The results of experimental investigations for different media are presented.
