Abstract

It is vital to measure combustion temperature to define combustion models accurately. For single fuel particles in powder-fueled ramjets, their size distribution ranges from submicron to submillimeter, and their burn time is short to millisecond order. Moreover, the radiation intensity of different types of fuel particles significantly oscillated with several orders of magnitude. Current temperature measurement technology is facing this challenge. This paper proposes a highly spatiotemporal resolved pyrometry to measure the combustion temperature of fuel particles by coupling single-point photomultiplier tube (PMT)-based and two-dimensional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-based photoelectric devices. Both the offline calibration by blackbody furnace and online calibration by standard lamp confirmed the measurement accuracy of the pyrometry. Then, the pyrometry was used to measure the combustion temperature of fuel particles including micro-Al, nano-Al, micro-Mg, nano-B, and micro-B4C. The temperature evolution and distribution of burning fuel particles were complementarily obtained, especially the interfacial flame temperature near the particle surface. Based on the obtained combustion temperature, the combustion characteristics and the energy release efficiencies among these fuels were evaluated and compared in detail, which are helpful to recognize, in depth, the combustion behavior and reveal the combustion mechanism of fuel particles in powder-fueled ramjets.
