Popis: This paper presents a method for measurement of dielectric permittivity of different liquid chemicals. The experiment is carried out by using a homocentric resonator made up of steel. The experimental setup consists of Agilent N9320B RF spectrum analyzer with internally connected frequency generator. Spectrum analyzer and resonator connected with each other by a power line. A resonator has inlet and outlet for continuous flow of liquid chemical which acts as a dielectric material. When the liquid flows through the resonator an amplitude verses frequency graph is obtained on the spectrum analyzer. By observing A-F plot on the screen, a resonant frequency for various peaks is measured. By using resonant frequency, dielectric permittivity of various liquids is measured. The results of experimentation have shown that the variations in dielectric permittivity for different liquid chemicals are in the range of 0.59% to 7.82% which is acceptable. Thus, it is proved that the homocentric resonator system can be used efficiently for the measurement of the dielectric constant of liquid chemicals.
