Abstract:Temperature is one of the critical parameters in combustion diagnostics, and obtaining flame temperature holds important scientific significance and practical value. Molecular emission spectra thermometry, owing to its non-contact measurement capability, high upper temperature measurement limit, and simple system configuration, is frequently employed for flame temperature measurement in harsh environments characterized by high temperature and pressure. Constrained by the dimensional limitation of the slit in the grating spectrometer, most of the recent research on this technique has been confined to zero-dimensional (0D) and one-dimensional (1D) measurements, making it difficult to achieve the goal of obtaining a two-dimensional (2D) temperature field of flame through a single measurement. Therefore, this paper incorporated a 2D-to-1D conversion module into the traditional emission spectra temperature measurement system and investigated 2D emission spectra thermometry. Firstly, the emission spectral fitting thermometry algorithm was established based on the principle of molecular emission spectra thermometry, and the process of emission spectra thermometry was formulated. The simulated result of the CH* emission spectrum at a rotational temperature of 2 500 K was compared with the spectrum generated by the molecular emission spectrum simulation software LIFBASE, yielding the coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.96. This verified the feasibility of the emission spectral fitting thermometry algorithm. Secondly, the 2D-to-1D conversion module was designed, a 2D distribution reconstruction algorithm was established, and the process for acquiring the 2D temperature distribution of the flame was developed. Furthermore, a 2D emission spectra measurement system was constructed based on the 2D-to-1D conversion module. Finally, the 2D emission spectra measurement system was employed to conduct 2D measurement of CH* emission spectra from the local flame within a model rocket engine. The accumulated CH*emission spectra were subjected to denoising and baseline removal. The temperatures at different spatial positions were derived by fitting simulated spectra to the measured spectra. Subsequently, the 2D distribution reconstruction algorithm was applied to obtain the local flame's 2D temperature field and the corresponding R2 profile of spectral fitting. From the measurement result of the 2D temperature distribution of local flame, it can be concluded that the temperature measurement system constructed in this paper is capable of resolving two temperature data points with the spatial interval of 0.50 mm, and the measurement result of 2D temperature distribution is consistent with the flame morphology. In the 2D distribution of spectral fitting R2, all R2 values are greater than 0.8, and positions with R2>0.9 account for 76.5%, which validates the reliability of the temperature measurement result.
