Laser Deflection, Absorption and Diffusion in a Laminar Flame : Application to Local Density, Temperature and Concentration Measurements of Hydrocarbons

  • Chapter

Abstract

We report on three complementary optical (non intrusive) techniques used to measure local density, concentration and temperature in laminar reacting or non-equilibrium flows and in flames. Density and density gradients (temperature can also be deduced from these measurements) are measured by laser beam deflection, concentration of hydrocarbon by laser absorption in the infrared and temperature by Rayleigh scattering. These three complementary informations give us a map of the local quantities in reacting or non-equilibrium flows and in flames. Laser beam deflection has also been used to study the extinction limits of propane/air and hydrogen/air counterdiffusion flames.
