E132 12パス半導体レーザ光吸収を用いた2次元温度・濃度計測技術(OS-18: 熱・物質移動の計測および現象解析(3))

Abstract

Exhaust gas temperature is an important factor in NO_x, THC and PM emissions of engines. Especially 2D temperature and concentration distribution plays an important role for the engine efficiency. A thermocouple is intrinsically a point temperature measurement method and noncontact 2D temperature distribution cannot be attained by thermocouples. In this study, the experimental research has been conducted in order to develop the noncontact and fast response 2D temperature and concentration distribution measurement method. The method is based on a computed tomography(CT) method using absorption spectra of water vapor at 1388nm. It has been demonstrated that the method has been successfully applied to engine exhausts to measure 2D temperature distributions using the 12-path measurement cell.
