| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We fabricated temperature sensitive hollow micro capsules, applicable to the flow of water, oil or other liquid medium. The capsules were made from a polylactic acid and fluorescence materials of which intensity depended on the temperature. The diameter of capsules were from 0.5 to 1.0 micro meters. We investigated optical properties of capsules and applied capsules to the visualization of temperature field of the flow in a heat-exchanger.
We measured emission spectra, temperature sensitivity, oxygen sensitivity and photo-deterioration of several ten kinds of capsules with different fluorescence materials. In addition, simultaneous measurement of temperature and velocity field was demonstrated in the flow inside of a heat exchanger with small ribs.
