Thin filament pyrometry to measurement the butane air flame combustion flame

Abstract

In this paper, the temperature of butane flame is measured by Thin Filament Pyrometer(TFP). The luminous length of butane flame is about 80mm. The high temperature resistant material tungsten-rhenium wire is placed into the flame, the diameter of tungsten-rhenium wire is 0.1mm, 0.25mm, 0.5mm.A scientific sCMOS camera calibrated by emissivity calibration experiment was used to measure the radiance of tungsten-rhenium filament, and Planck's blackbody radiation law was used to calculate the temperature of the filament., so as to get the temperature of the butane flame. The results show that the highest temperature of the butane flame measured by the filament pyrometer is 1122K.Standard armored K-type thermocouple is used to verify the experimental accuracy, and the measurement error between the calculated value and the standard value is less than 5%. The experimental results of butane combustion show that this method can be applied to similar temperature measurement.
