An experimental investigation of fuel spray vapor phase characterization

An experimental study of an infrared laser extinction technique for measuring fuel vapor flux in evaporating liquid fuel sprays was conducted. The infrared laser extinction technique consists of three separate measurements: a visible light angular scattering measurement, a visible light line-of-sight extinction measurement and an infrared line-of-sight extinction measurement. Using this technique, vapor flux along with other spray parameters such as mean drop size and size distribution were measured for a pressure atomized, isooctane fuel spray.
