Abstract

In this study, a new thermographic phosphor for planar gas-phase thermometry is investigated. The thermographic phosphor used is composed of trivalent praseodymium (Pr3+) ions doped into a yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) host. Spectrally-resolved emission data were taken in a furnace for temperatures up to 1,300 K. The emission spectra were used to develop a temperature measurement strategy utilizing a non-equilibrium population ratio. The developed temperature measurement technique was demonstrated in a turbulent heated air jet for exit temperatures ranging from 300 to 750 K. The results demonstrate the promise of the Pr:YAG phosphor for obtaining high-precision single-shot temperature measurements in gas-phase flows.
