Aerosol property measurements including primary particle, radius of gyration, and number of primary particles per agglomerate have been performed for soot collected thermophoretically from the soot annulus at selected heights of laminar ethene/air, methane/air, and methane/oxygen diffusion flames and analyzed using a digital image processing technique. The fractal dimension D, and prefactor term k(f) calculated front these measurements were used to determine whether there exists it universality of these properties for inflame soot or any correspondence with previous Measurements performed in the overfire region of large turbulent flames. The fractal dimension measured in this study ranged from 1.65 to 1.75, in agreement with previous measurements obtained for both in-flame and overtire soot, Measurable variations in the prefactor values, which ranged from 6,75 for the methane/air diffusion flame, to 8.47 for the ethlene/air diffusion flame. were observed. An error analysis performed for these results indicated that there is up to 6 percent and 22 percent uncertainty in the fractal dimension and prefactor values, respectively.

Ayranci, Iail; Vaillon, Rodolphe; Selçuk, Nevin; Andre, Frederic; Escudie, Dany (2007-03-01)
An inversion scheme based on tomographic reconstruction of flame emission spectra has been developed for nonintrusive characterization of soot temperature and volume fraction fields within an optically thin axisymmetric flame by extracting characteristic information on soot refractive index from spectral gradients of emission spectra. Its performance is assessed by providing input data obtained from intensities simulated by a direct code based on experimental data for a flame available in the literature. Pr...

In this study, a radiation code based on the method of lines solution of the discrete ordinates method for the prediction of radiative heat transfer in nongray gaseous media is developed by incorporation of two different spectral gas radiative property models, banded spectral line-based weighted sum of gray gases (banded SLW) and gray wide band (GWB) approximation in the presence of nongray absorbing-emitting-scattering particles. The aim is to introduce an accurate and CPU efficient spectral gas radiation ...
Measurement of residual stress in air plasma-sprayed Y2O3-ZrO2 thermal barrier coating system using micro-Raman spectroscopy
Tanaka, Makoto; Hasegawa, Makoto; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi; Kagawa, Yutaka (2006-03-15)
Residual stress in air plasma-sprayed Y2O3 stabilized ZrO2 thermal barrier coating (TBC) has been measured using micro-Raman spectroscopy. The frequency shift of Raman peak from tetragonal phase (approximate to 640 cm(-1)) is used for determination of local stress in TBC. The relation between Raman peak shift and applied uniaxial stress is measured using a freestanding specimen. The relation is used to determine actual residual stress of the TBC layer coated on a stainless steel substrate. The uniaxial stre...
Investigation of structural and optical parameters of Cu-Ag-In-Se thin films deposited by thermal evaporation method
Gullu, H. H.; CANDAN, İDRİS; COŞKUN, EMRE; Parlak, Mehmet (2015-01-01)
Annealing effect on the structural and optical properties of the quaternary Cu-Ag-In-Se thin film deposited by the thermal evaporation has been investigated. The evaporation source was prepared by using vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger crystal growth system. Structural analysis indicated that annealing the films following to the deposition resulted in the changes from amorphous to polycrystalline phase with the preferred orientation along (1 1 2) direction. In order to determine the optical properties of the t...

The nanostructure of soot particles collected from spherically symmetric ethanol droplet flames were analyzed using a high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Nanostructure properties, including fringe length and curvature of carbon lamellae, were measured for soot particles collected in various inert environments. The sampling experiments were performed in the reduced gravity environments produced in the NASA 2.2 sec Droptower at the Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Microgravity d...
