Abstract

See full text

The electrodes of an electrostatic capacitor which is used to determine the alcohol concentration in a mixture of gasoline and alcohol, are connected with a frequency oscillator of the LC type which applies a signal having a frequency which is equal to or greater than 10 MHz. The setting of the oscillation frequency to 10 MHz or more eliminates the amount of change in electrode loss and enables stable and accurate alcohol concentration determination.
