TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to liquid dielectric constant measurement technical field, specifically to a kind of device for measuring liquid dielectric constant under different pressure. BACKGROUND
[0002] Dielectric constant is the macro parameter of the electric characteristic of medium material, and is one of the constitutive parameters in Maxwell equation. The measurement technology of dielectric constant is mainly applied to solid material before. With the development of science and technology, the application value of liquid dielectric constant in biomedical, health care, food, beverage, chemical industry and pharmaceutical quality control fields is gradually explored, for example, through the measurement of liquid dielectric constant, the fluid state analysis and oil reservoir evaluation of deep underground reservoir, the control of the progress of polymerization, high-pressure dissolution and other reactions and the improvement of yield, and the detection of pollutant concentration of underground water and soil. The commonly used measurement methods include resonant cavity method, free space method, transmission line method and capacitance method. The first three methods reflect the dielectric constant of material by measuring the change of frequency response of sensitive element, and the fourth method calculates the dielectric constant of material by measuring the capacitance of capacitor.
[0003] As one of its characteristic parameters, the dielectric constant of liquid has many influencing factors, including composition, physical properties of constituent molecules, microstructure of material, temperature and pressure. The existing measurement device generally measures the dielectric constant of liquid with different components based on normal temperature or specific temperature, and ignores the influence of pressure. However, the increase of pressure will enhance the interaction between liquid molecules, change the electron cloud distribution of liquid, and further affect the change of liquid dielectric constant. When liquid is under different environmental pressure, the dielectric constant measured by the existing device is inaccurate, which has great influence on the analysis and evaluation of deep underground reservoir, high-pressure reaction and environment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a device for measuring liquid dielectric constant under different pressure. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
