A technique that expands the OH-LIF thermometry range is developed. The PLIF of OH from dissociation of water in gas phase is used for temperature measurement both in flame and room air. The thermometry results from photo fragmentation laser induced fluorescence (PF-PLIF) at time delay from 200ns to 1ms after dissociation agree well with results from PLIF of OH from burning which are calibrated by CARS thermometry. And the results in room air agree with environment temperature at time delay from 50ns to 0.2ms. These two results validate the PF-PLIF thermometry method both in flame and room temperature, which allowing thermometry at low temperature or non-reaction region. At last the PF-PLIF was applied in a jet flow, and the temperature results from PF-PLIF, PLIF and CARS at different height of jet were compared.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
