Abstract

Understanding soot formation in flames burning Jet-A fuel at elevated pressures is critical for reducing emissions from aeroengine combustion. In this work, we utilize a single camera single laser shot two-dimensional (2D) time-resolved laser-induced incandescence (TiRe-LII) technique to acquire soot incandescence decay images at 10 MHz in premixed prevaporized Jet-A/air flames at 1, 2.4, and 3.8 bar. By using a TiRe-LII model, the incandescence decay signals are mapped to primary particle size estimates. Then, model estimates are compared with in-situ soot samples, which are collected using a custom designed thermophoretic sampling system and analyzed with transmission electron microscopy. Results show small soot particle diameters between 13 and 16 nm and large aggregates with approximately 200 particles on average. A good match is obtained between the TiRe-LII and extracted soot sample data, where estimates are within 2 nm for all test conditions. This work illustrates how a single camera LII measurement technique can be implemented with a TiRe-LII model to obtain instantaneous 2D estimates of soot primary particle sizes in pressurized systems. By using this imaging TiRe-LII technique, soot formation in more complex and realistic gas turbine combustors can potentially be investigated.
