Optical techniques developed for sensing and analysis purposes have been used in various fields. An attempt has been made to design optimization of refractormetric based method for the measurement of Brix. Mathematical modeling and simulation of the proposed system has been performed. From the study it is seen that mathematical model may help for getting the better performance to developed experimental model. Optimization of various constructional parameters including selection and location of source, prism and detector, position of source, angular position and height of source from prism plane, divergent angle of source, refractive index of prism, size of prism, the location of detector to pickup the optimum reflected light, refractive index of sample, critical angle, choice of suitable prism. The various. possibilities of mounting position of source, detector, prism are studied. The mathematical model is developed considering the above mentioned parameters.
