Abstract

An impinging jet burner was developed to investigate flame-wall interactions (FWI) using laser based diagnostics. CO concentrations were measured with two-photon laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) in combination with coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) gas phase temperature measurements. Besides being the principal factor in chemical kinetics, temperature data is required to correct the CO LIF data for various factors like density variation, quenching and variation in the Boltzmann population. Phosphor thermometry was used to determine surface temperatures of the wall and to estimate the heat flux. In an parameter study Reynolds numbers and fuel equivalence ratio were varied.
