Temperature measurement in gaseous flows is of significant practical importance for determining convection coefficients for heat transfer calculations, validating computation fluid dynamic simulations, and understanding the fundamentals of turbulent mixing and transport in flows. Here, we report on a new diagnostic technique for measuring temperature in gaseous flows which relies upon upconversion...
A tracer-based planar laser-induced fluorescence (TB-PLIF) imaging diagnostic using 3-pentanone has been optimized for use in IC engines. The diagnostic utilizes dual-wavelength excitation of 3-pentanone in the ultraviolet to make simultaneous measurements of exhaust gas residual mole fraction and temperature. A merit function based optimization of the diagnostic precision was performed which allowed...
