Abstract
Quantitative measurement of the freestream temperature in the test section of a hypersonic shock tunnel, obtained using tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technique, is presented in this work. Water vapor absorption lines near 1392 nm were probed using a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser scanned at 25,000 Hz to get the time-resolved measurement of temperature in a Mach number M = 8 hypersonic flow. Three different enthalpy cases – 2.57, 2.23, and 2.01 MJ/kg – were studied in the shock tunnel. Freestream temperature was extracted from the absorbance spectra obtained using direct absorption scheme, by using two-line ratio method. The measured temperatures were compared with the theoretically predicted values.
