Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of flow field parameter measurement, and in particular to an online measurement method for temperature, concentration and pressure of a complex flow field. Background Art
[0002] In fluid dynamics and thermodynamics research, accurate measurement of flow field parameters is crucial to understanding fluid behavior and optimizing thermal systems. These flow field parameters include temperature, concentration, and pressure, which directly affect energy conversion, combustion efficiency, and fluid properties. Flow field parameter measurement technology plays a key role in aerospace, chemical engineering, environmental monitoring, and energy conversion. For example, it is crucial to improving aircraft engine performance, optimizing chemical reactions, monitoring air pollution, and improving energy conversion efficiency.
[0003] However, traditional invasive measurement technologies, such as wall sensors and thermocouples, have problems such as interfering with the flow field, only being able to measure a single parameter, high maintenance costs, low sensitivity, and slow response speed, which limit their application in extreme environments. Faced with challenges such as high temperature, high pressure, and high-speed flow, technological innovation is needed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurement. With the advancement of laser technology, non-invasive measurement technologies, such as tunable semiconductor laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), provide more accurate and rapid measurement methods, promoting the development of flow field parameter measurement technology.
[0004] Although flow field parameter measurement technology has made certain progress, existing invasive measurement technologies, such as wall sensors, pneumatic probes, and thermocouples, still have certain limitations. These technologies may interfere with the flow field, resulting in inaccurate measurement data. In addition, these technologies can usually only measure a single parameter and cannot simultaneously obtain parameter information such as gas temperature, concentration, and pressure. They have high installation and maintenance costs, low sensitivity, slow response speed, and are difficult to adapt to measurement requirements in extreme environments such as high temperature and high pressure. These limitations restrict the in-depth study of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, and also affect the optimization of industrial processes and the accuracy of environmental monitoring.

[0032] A preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] In this embodiment, a method for online measurement of temperature, concentration, and pressure of a complex flow field includes the following steps:
[0034] Step 1, absorption line selection:
[0035] This embodiment uses a two-color laser to measure flow field parameters, that is, two laser absorption spectra are required. First, determine the absorption component, which can be selected according to different occasions and different needs, and then select the appropriate absorption spectrum according to the absorption component. In this embodiment, H2O is selected as the target absorption component. Based on the description of the absorption spectrum selection rules, the spectrum selection principle needs to consider the following aspects:
[0036] 1) The absorption spectrum has good absorption and good signal-to-noise ratio;
[0037] 2) Avoid the influence of adjacent absorption;
[0038] 3) The temperature sensitivity of the selected spectral line within the temperature range to be measured should be high (generally required to be greater than 1).
[0039] The temperature sensitivity is defined as follows:
[0040]
[0041] Wherein, R = A1 / A2, which is the ratio of the integrated absorption rates A1 and A2 of the two laser absorption lines. The physical parameter k represents the Boltzmann constant. In the preferred embodiment, k = 1.381×10 -23; h is Planck's constant, h = 6.626 × 10 -34 ; c is the propagation speed of light in the medium, c≈3×10 10 cm / s, E″1, E″2 (unit: cm -1 ) is the low-level energy of the transition of the two laser absorption lines.
[0042] This example selects water vapor as the absorption component and determines two absorption lines near 1392nm and 1395nm. Both absorption lines meet the principle of line selection. The central wave numbers of these two absorption lines are 7185.6cm -1 and 7168.437cm -1 The detailed parameter information of these two spectral lines is listed in Table 1. Figure 1 As shown, by analyzing the intensity and temperature sensitivity of the two absorption lines, in the temperature range of 200 to 900 K, the temperature sensitivity is greater than 1, that is, the two selected absorption lines meet the temperature measurement requirements within a certain temperature range.

[0045] Step 2: TDLAS measurement system construction and operation:
[0046] The H2O absorption test was carried out at room temperature and pressure to verify the normal operation of the experimental equipment and the accuracy of the measurement method. Figure 2As shown, the signal generator sends a sawtooth wave signal to the laser controller, so that the 1395nm and 1392nm DFB lasers generate lasers of the same frequency. The signal generator uses Tektronix's AFG3000C series products. The signal generator can output dual channels and can output two signals separately to control lasers with different requirements. In this experiment, the output frequency is 1KHz and the phase difference is 180 degrees. The sawtooth wave signal. The two laser signals are coupled and split by the coupler. After the laser is collimated by the collimator, one signal is directly calibrated by the FP standard tool for frequency and time signal. The other signal leads to the flow field to be measured for parameter diagnosis and measurement. The laser uses a 14-pin butterfly package laser produced by NEL, with central wavelengths of 1395nm and 1392nm respectively. The detector uses the PDA05CF2 indium gallium arsenide amplified detector from Thorlabs. The laser controller is ILX Lightwave's LDC-3724C driver, and the near-infrared etalon uses Thorlabs' SA200-12B scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer, which is a resonant cavity etalon. The free spectrum range is 1.5 GHz (i.e. 0.05 cm -1 ), used to calibrate the frequency information of the laser and convert the time domain signal into the frequency domain signal. The signal is collected by an oscilloscope.
[0047] Step 3: Data collection and analysis:
[0048] Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology is mainly based on the Beer-Lambert law, which describes the relationship between the incident light intensity and the transmitted light intensity before and after the laser passes through the flow field by the following formula:
[0049]
[0050] In the formula, I0 and I t are the incident light intensity and the transmitted light intensity, respectively. L is the effective absorption optical path, P is the gas pressure of the absorbing component, X is the gas concentration of the absorbing component, T is the gas temperature of the absorbing component, α(v) is the absorbance, S(T) is the intensity of the absorption spectrum, which describes the intensity of light energy absorption and radiation during molecular energy level transitions. φ(v) is the absorption spectrum line function, which satisfies the normalization condition. Note that the Beer-Lambert law is applicable to uniform flow field environments, where the temperature, pressure, and concentration of the absorbing component are all line-of-sight averages.
[0051] Since the absorption spectrum is affected by various broadening mechanisms, the absorption spectrum of the molecule is not a point on the central frequency, but presents a distribution form with a certain width; the present invention adopts the Voigt line type, which is the convolution of the Gaussian line function and the Lorentz line function.
[0052] Gauss full width at half maximum Δv D It can be expressed as:
[0053]
[0054] Lorentz full width at half maximum Δv C It can be expressed as:
[0055] Δv C =PX2r(T) self +P(1-X)2r(T) air ; (4)
[0056] In the formula, r(T) se l f (cm -1 ·atm -1 ) is the self-collision broadening coefficient of the absorbing component, r(T) air (cm -1 ·atm -1 ) is the collision broadening coefficient between the absorbing component and the non-absorbing component:
[0057]
[0058] Where n self and are the exponential factors for self-collision broadening and collision broadening with non-absorbing components, respectively, which can be retrieved from the HITRAN database or calibrated experimentally.
[0059] Define the integrated absorbance of an absorption line:
[0060]
[0061] By comparing the integrated absorption rates of the two absorption lines and taking their logarithms, we can obtain an analytical expression for temperature:
[0062]
[0063] Where A1 / A2 is the ratio of the experimentally measured double-line integrated absorbance, and the remaining parameters are physical constants or spectral parameters.
[0064] First, import the collected data into the computer, and then use the iterative fitting program to analyze the data. The specific operations are:
[0065] 1) Roughly calculate the integrated absorption rate A of the two spectral lines by using the experimentally measured absorption rate curve 1,0 , A 2,0 , an initial temperature T1 is calculated by formula (8).
[0066] 2) Then fix the temperature T = T1 and calculate the Gaussian half-maximum full width Δv of the two absorption lines according to formula (3): D1 , Δv D2 , with the Lorentz full width at half maximum Δv C1 , Δv C2 , absorption line center wave number v 1,0 , v 2,0 The integral absorption rates A1 and A2 are free parameters. The experimental absorption rate curve is fitted with Voigt line type to obtain the corresponding parameters. The integral absorption rates A of the two spectral lines are extracted and fitted. 1,1 , A 2,1 , calculate the new temperature T2 through formula (8).
[0067] 3) Determine whether |T2-T1|<ξ is satisfied. ξ can be set according to the requirements. In this embodiment, ξ is 0.1. If not satisfied, update the temperature T=T2 and return to step 2); if satisfied, output the temperature T and obtain the Lorentz half-maximum full width Δv of the two fitted spectral lines. C1 , Δv C2 , center wave number v 1,0 , v 2,0 , integrated absorption rate A1, A2.
[0068] 4) Using the temperature T and the fitting parameters of one of the absorption lines, such as Δv C1 , A1, and iteratively calculate through equations (4) to (7) to obtain the gas concentration X of the absorption component and the gas pressure P of the absorption component.
[0069] The processing results are as follows:
[0070] Figure 3a , Figure 3b They are 7168.437cm respectively -1 and 7185.6cm -1 Voigt fitting curve of absorbance at 294 K, 1 atm, 98 cm.
[0071] The flow field temperature can be calculated by fitting the absorbance curve with the Voigt line type. Since the measured indoor environment is a uniform flow field, the measured flow field parameters are processed as average values to ensure the measurement accuracy. Figure 4 As shown, the final measured temperature is 300K, the indoor temperature is 294K, and the relative error is 2%.
[0072] The pressure measurement results of H2O are as follows Figure 5 As shown, the calculated pressure result is 0.9895 atm, with a relative error of -1.05%.
[0073] The concentration of H2O is measured as follows: Figure 6As shown, the calculated concentration result is 0.0166, and the water vapor concentration converted by the thermometer and hygrometer is 0.0162, and the relative error between the two is 2.47%.
[0074] In the test under normal temperature and pressure, the measured value by the measurement method provided in this embodiment is consistent with the reading of the thermometer and hygrometer, with small relative error and high accuracy, which verifies the feasibility of the system and method in this embodiment.
