... combustion performance. Exhaust gas emissions of NO x , CO, and unburned hydrocarbons (UHC) as well as OH* chemiluminescence images were used to evaluate combustor performance. Mie scattering technique was used to analyze the degree of liquid fuel evaporation for different test cases. It was found...

...; the droplets were visualized by laser-induced Mie scattering. Droplets within a distance of 10 mm from the breakdown position were deformed and disintegrated by the aerodynamic forces of the postshock flow field. Different breakup modes were observed, depending on the distance from the breakdown position...

... of the flame during its upstream motion, tests were done on an atmospheric combustion test rig providing almost complete optical access to the mixing section as well as the flame tube. OH * chemiluminescence, HS-Mie scattering and ionization detectors were applied and undiluted H 2 was used as fuel...

... will be done using the infrared extinction (IRE) measurement method. Based on a simplified Beer–Bouguer–Lambert law the integral vapor concentrations can be obtained. The main hypothesis is that if the line-of-sight extinction due to Mie-scattering is similar for both infrared and visible wavelengths because...

... assisted Mie scattering method has been used to visualize the flow, while the flame lengths were measured by a conventional photography technique. The fluctuating velocity at the jet exit was measured by a two-component laser Doppler velocimeter. Flammability and stability at first fuel tube resonant...

... and combustion, laser Mie scattering for liquid-fuel imaging, planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) for both OH and vapor-fuel imagings, and laser-induced incandescence for soot imaging. Fuel is injected at top dead center when the in-cylinder gases are hot and dense. Consequently, the maximum liquid-fuel...

... was observed. With combustion, the phase-locked Mie-scattering intensity of the spray cone was found to follow the spray behavior measured in the noncombusting tests. These findings lead to the conclusion that the unsteady droplet Sauter mean diameter mean and amplitude of the airblast atomizer can...

... momentum flux ratio, both parameters being a function of engine power. Kerosene Jet A-1 was used as liquid fuel. Measurement techniques included LDA for investigation of the airflow and Mie-scattering laser light sheets and PDA for investigation of the two-phase flow. Measurements were taken at various...
