Two-Dimensional Temperature Measurement in a High-Temperature and High-Pressure Combustor Using Computed Tomography Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (CT-TDLAS) with a Wide-Scanning Laser at 1335–1375 nm

Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology is a developing method for temperature and species concentration measurements with the features of non-contact, high precision, high sensitivity, etc. The difficulty of two-dimensional (2D) temperature measurement in actual combustors has not yet been solved because of pressure broadening of absorption spectra, optical accessibility, etc. In this study, the combination of computed tomography (CT) and TDLAS with a wide scanning laser at 1335–1375 nm has been applied to a combustor for 2D temperature measurement in high temperature of 300–2000 K and high pressure of 0.1–2.5 MPa condition. An external cavity type laser diode with wide wavelength range scanning at 1335–1375 nm was used to evaluate the broadened H2O absorption spectra due to the high-temperature and high-pressure effect. The spectroscopic database in high temperature of 300–2000 K and high pressure of 0.1–5.0 MPa condition has been revised to improve the accuracy for temperature quantitative analysis. CT reconstruction accuracy was also evaluated in different cases, which presented the consistent temperature distribution between CT reconstruction and assumed distributions. The spatial and temporal distributions of temperature in the high-temperature and high-pressure combustor were measured successfully by CT-TDLAS using the revised spectroscopic database.
