Patent number: 5048952Abstract: A liquid mixing ratio detecting sensor has cylindrical holder which is immersed in sulfuric acid solution. The holder is filled with silicone oil. A glass plate is placed within the holder. A light emitting diode emits light beams which enter the glass plate through its vertical side, and totally reflect from a boundary between the glass plate and the sulfuric acid solution.
