A publication is forthcoming on the topic of injection pressure and oxygen concentration effects when using simultaneous schlieren and formaldehyde/PAH laser-induced fluorescence.
Simultaneous schlieren (100 kHz) and formaldeyhde/PAH planar LIF (50 kHz) were performed to characterize the low- and high-temperature ignition events. Conditions are for n-dodecane Spray A-3 flames (0.094 mm orifice) into 899* K, 22.8 kg/m3, 6 MPa environment. The default fuel injection pressure and temperature are 150 MPa and 363 K, respectively, with the following variations:
Ambient oxygen volume percent | Injection Pressure | Movie |
13% | 150 MPa | Schlieren_LIF_13percent |
15% | 150 MPa | Schlieren_LIF_15percent |
21% | 150 MPa | Schlieren_LIF_21percent |
15% | 50 MPa | Schlieren_LIF_50MPa |
15% | 100 MPa | Schlieren_LIF_100MPa |
