Abstract.
A “tailored” interface shock tube was used to measure the thermal energy radiated from diesel-spray combustion. Experiments were performed in a steel shock tube with a seven m long low-pressure section filled with air and a six m long high-pressure section. Pre-compressed fuel was injected through a throttling nozzle into air behind a reflected shock wave. Monochromatic emissive powers and emissive powers of the whole IR-wavelengths were followed with IR-detectors set along the central axis of the tube. Time-dependent-radii, where soot particles radiate, were also determined. Results were : (1) the tailored interface shock tube could be applied to a study of diesel-spray combustion. (2) thermal radiation energy could be described well from the ignition delay of the fuel spray.
