Abstract
Equivalence ratio measurements are of great importance for combustion systems. In this paper, femtosecond laser filament-triggered discharge plasma spectroscopy is proposed for one-dimensional equivalence ratio measurements of combustion flow fields. The optical emission spectra of femtosecond laser filament-triggered discharge plasma in methane-air premixed laminar flames were measured. The spectral intensity ratios of different species show a linear correlation with the equivalence ratio. It can be demonstrated that femtosecond laser filament-triggered discharge plasma spectroscopy can be used for equivalence ratio measurements. We investigated the effect of the temperature of the methane-air mixture on the equivalence ratio measurements. We further analyzed the one-dimensional spatial intensity distributions of the plasma spectral lines. The results demonstrated the capability of femtosecond laser filament-triggered discharge plasma spectroscopy for one-dimensional equivalence ratio measurements. Finally, femtosecond laser filament-triggered discharge plasma spectroscopy was applied to a methane diffusion flame and measured the one-dimensional equivalence ratios of the diffusion flame at different heights. Femtosecond laser filament-triggered discharge plasma spectroscopy offers a new method for one-dimensional equivalence ratio measurements of combustion flow fields.
