Abstract
We applied the technique of two-dimensional laser-induced fluorescence to measure relative local concentrations of the evaporated fuel oil in a premixed gas turbine burner. The dependence of the fuel-oil fluorescence in the burner on the air inlet temperature, on the total fuel mass flow, and on the residence time of the fuel was investigated. A Mie scattering experiment was performed in order to observe non-evaporated fuel oil. We conclude that the fuel-oil concentrations can be determined from the fluorescence intensity within an error of about 25% in regions of complete evaporation of the fuel oil.
