Laser induced grating spectroscopy measurements of temperature and water vapour in turbulent lean premixed methane-hydrogen-air flames at pressure
摘要
This study explores the application of Laser-Induced Grating Spectroscopy (LIGS) for non-intrusive measurements of temperature and water vapour concentration in premixed flames of air with blends of hydrogen and methane under high-pressure conditions. Employing a swirl-stabilized burner, the research demonstrates the capabilities of tracer-free LIGS, using thermal and electrostrictive gratings generated by a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser, to measure local temperatures and water molar fractions. The study also includes an extension of the thermoacoustic model for characteristics LIGS signals, built in order to extract the relative concentration of water vapour from the ratio of second (thermal) to first (electrostrictive) peak magnitudes. Experiments are conducted in non-sooting flames, leveraging a high-pressure optical chamber (HPOC) with pressures up to 3 bar. The study evaluates mixtures of methane and hydrogen (100%, 70%, and 40% CH
