Abstract
A method for judging the gray property of flames based on spectral analysis and the two-color method for determining the temperature and emissivity of flame has been demonstrated. A calibrated spectrometer system was used for the data acquisition of the radiation intensity profile of a flame over a range of wavelengths (200 – 1100 nm). The wavelength range that meets the gray body assumption, in which the emissivity can be assumed as a constant, can be determined from the emissivity profile obtained by spectral analysis and the two-color method. Then the temperature and emissivity of the flame and their relative mean square deviations were calculated within that range. Experiments were conducted on pulverized coal-fired flames in a commercial 300MW boiler furnace. The results show that the coal-fired flame can be assumed as gray body between 500 nm and 1000 nm, and the temperature and emissivity calculation results of coal-fired flames are found to be in reasonable agreement with results using other methods from the literature.
