The influence of nonideal factors on the capacitance permittivity in a liquid-suspended rotor micro-gyroscope

The nonideal factors of a liquid-suspended rotor micro-gyroscope include the gas-liquid two-phase flow voids, medium temperature and its dielectric relaxation, in which the role of the nonideal factors on the capacitor dielectric constant is altered, thereby affecting the capacitance detection precision of the micro-gyroscope. By comparing four different liquid media, the experimental results reveal the nonideal character of the capacitor dielectric constant. The 7# white oil is suitable for use as the liquid-suspended gyro cavity liquid medium.
