摘要

A diagnostics method was presented that uses emission and scattering techniques to simultaneously determine the dis-tributions of soot particle diameter and number density in hydrocarbon flames. Two manta G-504C cameras were utilized for the scattering measurement, with consideration of the attenuation effect in the flames according to corresponding ab-sorption coefficients. Distributions of soot particle diameter and number density were simultaneously determined using the measured scattering coefficients and absorption coefficients under multiple wavelengths already measured with a SOC701V hyper-spectral imaging device, according to the Mie scattering theory. A flame was produced using an axisymmetric lami-nar diffusion flame burner with 194 mL/min ethylene and 284 L/min air, and distributions of particle diameter and number density for the flame were presented. Consequently, the distributions of soot volume fraction were calculated using these two parameters as well, which were in good agreement with the results calculated according to the Rayleigh approximation, demonstrating that the proposed diagnostic method is capable of simultaneous determination of the distributions of soot particle diameter and number density.
