Abstract

A hybrid constraint spectral thermometry (HCST) method based on combined light extinction and spectral soot emission was developed for temperature measurements in sooting flames. Light extinction measurements were performed in the 635–1064 nm spectral range to constrain the fitting of the soot optical property $E(m)$ as a function of the wavelength for separately measured spectral emission data. This hybrid constraint methodology helps to avoid complete reliance on either measurement, which significantly increases the immunity of the temperature determination to measurement noises. After numerically validating the performance of HCST, measurements were performed for a series of representative sooting premixed flames. Additional measurements were conducted with the proven tunable diode laser absorption technique to provide a reference temperature, and satisfactory agreements demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed HCST method.
