Abstract

Simultaneous chemiluminescence (CL) imaging of multiple chemical species in unsteady and/or turbulent combustion environments requires multiple high-speed camera/intensifier systems which can be cost prohibitive. This study presents a novel optical configuration for simultaneous, spatially resolved CL imaging of two species using a single high-speed camera. The superiority of the technique over existing approaches is demonstrated via a series of experiments in a methane fueled McKenna burner operated at steady and unsteady conditions. Results demonstrate capabilities of the present system to provide spatially resolved measurements of hydroxyl (OH*) and methylidyne (CH*) species without parallax or path length errors in different flame configurations.
