Abstract

The invention relates to a method for making visible by photochemical means residual moisture distributions in photographic wet film layers subjected to a gas flow. According to the invention, a film diffusely pre-exposed is immersed in an aqueous swelling agent solution which contains either (a) a reducing agent or (b) an alkali. After being exposed to the air stream, the invisible residual moisture profile is immersed in an alcoholic solution of either (a) an alkali or (b) a reducing agent. The half-tone image produced serves for determining stationary local boundary layer thickness distributions, wall shearing stresses, material transfer coefficients and heat transfer coefficients.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Sichtbarmachen von Restfeuchteverteilungen in angeströmten, photographischen Nassfitmschichten auf photochemischem Wege durch Aufbringen eines gequollenen photographischen Filmes auf die angeströmte Fläche, Überleiten eines Gases und anschliessende Entwicklung eines Restfeuchtephotogrammes mit photographischen Entwicklern.The invention relates to a method for visualizing residual moisture distributions in flowed photographic wet film layers by photochemical means by applying a swollen photographic film to the flowed area, passing a gas and then developing a residual moisture photogram with photographic developers.

Nach bekannten Verfahren können Restfeuchteverteilungen in angeströmten, photographischen Nassfilmschichten auf photochemischem Wege sichtbar gemacht werden. Das Nassfilmdiffusionsverfahren beruht auf der Umwandlung von Restfeuchteprofilen in strömungsexponierten Filmen in feuchtigkeitsanaloge Halbton-Schwärzungsprofile. Die Entwicklung kann durch Sulfidbekeimung oder durch Nachbelichtung erfolgen. Bei der Nachbelichtung erzeugt der im Film eingelagerte photographische Entwickler an Stellen des Restfeuchteprofils feuchtigkeitsanaloge Silberhalbtonbilder. Trockene Stellen auf dem Film bleiben hell (DE-PS 2 133 834). Das Nachbelichtungsverfahren und das Sulfidbekeimungsverfahren werden durch Tageslichteinwirkung gestört und müssen deshalb unter Dunkelkammerbedingungen durchgeführt werden. Um bei Tageslicht arbeiten zu können, musste das Restfeuchteprofil des exponierten Nassfilms nach dem sogenannten Schwefelwasserstoffverfahren («Sulfidbekeimungsverfahren») in einem Schwefelwasserstoffluftgemisch in ein braunes Silbersulfidbild umgewandelt werden. Es sind nicht nur grössere Mengen an Schwefelwasserstoffgas erforderlich, sondern man benötigt zur quantitativen densitometrischen Auswertung der Silbersulfid-Halbtonphotogramme auch sehr genau definierte Gasgemische, die schwierig herzustellen sind.According to known methods, residual moisture distributions in the flowed photographic wet film layers can be made visible by photochemical means. The wet film diffusion process is based on the conversion of residual moisture profiles in flow-exposed films into moisture-analogous halftone blackening profiles. The development can be done by sulfide germination or by post-exposure. During the post-exposure, the photographic developer embedded in the film creates silver halftone images that are moisture-analogous in places of the residual moisture profile. Dry areas on the film remain bright (DE-PS 2 133 834). The post-exposure process and the sulfide seeding process are disturbed by exposure to daylight and must therefore be carried out under darkroom conditions. In order to be able to work in daylight, the residual moisture profile of the exposed wet film had to be converted to a brown silver sulfide image using the so-called hydrogen sulfide process ("sulfide germination process") in a mixture of hydrogen sulfide and air. Not only are large amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas required, but also very precisely defined gas mixtures which are difficult to produce are required for the quantitative densitometric evaluation of the silver sulfide halftone photograms.

Zur Verbesserung dieser Verfahren ist es bekannt (DE-OS 2 741 405), den im Gasstrom exponierten Film zunächst in alkoholische Natronlauge zu tauchen (Bad 1 - Alkalisierung der im Film verbliebenen Restfeuchte). Nach Entfernen von Flüssigkeitsresten auf der Filmoberfläche mittels eines Kalanders wird der Film anschliessend in eine neutrale wässrige Lösung mit einem als photographischer Entwickler geeigneten Reduktionsmittel (z. B. Hydrochinon) getaucht (Bad 2). Dabei findet nur an den alkalihaltigen Stellen des Filmes eine Silberentwicklung statt. Das Verfahren arbeitet bei Tageslicht. Die Arbeitstemperaturen der Bäder sind konstant zu halten.To improve these processes, it is known (DE-OS 2 741 405) to first immerse the film exposed in the gas stream in alcoholic sodium hydroxide solution (bath 1 - alkalization of the residual moisture remaining in the film). After removing liquid residues on the film surface by means of a calender, the film is subsequently immersed in a neutral aqueous solution with a reducing agent (for example hydroquinone) suitable as a photographic developer (bath 2). Silver development occurs only at the alkali-containing parts of the film. The process works in daylight. The working temperatures of the baths must be kept constant.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist eine vereinfachte Entwicklung von Restfeuchte-Halbtonphotogrammen . nach dem Nassfilmdiffusionsverfahren.The object of the invention is a simplified development of residual moisture halftone photograms. after the wet film diffusion process.

Da das Reduktionsmittel bzw. Alkali von vornherein dem Quellbad zugesetzt wird, entfällt ein spezieller Behandlungsschritt.This object is achieved according to the invention in that a film which is diffusely pre-exposed in daylight is placed in an aqueous swelling agent solution which contains (a) a reducing agent or (b) an alkali until the saturation of its gelatin layer and that the film after exposure in the gas stream (a) immersed in an alcoholic alkali solution or (b) in an alcoholic solution of a reducing agent. Since the reducing agent or alkali is added to the swelling bath from the outset, there is no special treatment step.
