Research Abstract

This research was aimed to develop a new measurement method of velocity, temperature, and concentration in supersonic combustion flow by using a compact diode laser. This method is based on the infrared absorption characteristics of H_2O molecules.
A InGaSaP diode laser was selected to detect 1.393 μm band of H_2O vibration-rotation transition. The investigation of the transition lines of H_2O molecules proved that two pairs of transition line are suitable for the temperature measurement in the range of 1300 K - 2000 K and 300 K - 1300 K separately. By collaboration research with a scientist in USA, the diode laser controller, laser corrector optics, and the measurement code were developed, and the assembling of the optical fibers and diode-laser laser optics were conducted.
By using a supersonic-combustion test facility of Institute of Fluid Science, Tohoku University, measurement tests of supersonic air-flow and the combustion flow behind a flame holding strut were conducted to confirm … More the performance of the system developed in this research. For installing the laser probes to the measurement section of the wind tunnel, AR coated optical windows, pin-hole structure, and nitrogen-purge system were employed in order to minimize the effects of the surface reflection, flame radiation, and laser absorption by surrounding air. Results of the measurements showed that, in supersonic air-flow, data of temperature and velocity agreed well with the numerically estimated values without any data compensation. H_2O concentration agreed with estimated value when the background H_2O concentration caused by the residual H_2O via the air reheater of the wind tunnel was reduced. The velocity data for the combustion region was compared with the mean velocity measured by LDV and they agreed well. H_2O concentration was also agreed well with the values estimated based on chemical equilibrium of H_2-air flames in the wake region. From these results, the accuracy and feasibility of the diagnostic method developed in this research were confirmed. Less
