Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for local equivalence ratio measurement in opposed jet methane-air flames
Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science
August 2022
- Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy is applied to opposed jet flows to evaluate the measurement accuracy of equivalence ratio.
- The behavior of laser induced plasma, including its spectrum, is analyzed spatially, spectrally and temporally.
- The factors, including laser pulse energy, delay time and exposure time of the ICCDs, along with a data processing approach is investigated.
- The increased measurement uncertainty in reacting flows is counteracted by increasing laser energy and using a proposed processing method.
- The LIBS is used to measure the spatial gradient of the equivalence ratio within the reaction zone, the measurements matched the simulations
