Rainbow Interferometry with Wire Diffraction for Simultaneous Measurement of Droplet Temperature,Size and Velocity

A rainbow measurement technique is presented which measures simultaneously the size, temperature and velocity of individual droplets in a spray. The technique is based on rainbow interferometry in combination with diffraction by a wire placed in the spatial filter of the scattered-light detector. A photomultiplier detects the wire diffraction pattern superimposed on the rainbow interference pattern created by a droplet scattering laser light. The velocity is determined from the equivalent geometric wire shadow. The necessary sphericity validation is performed by comparing the Airy and the ripple droplet diameters, resulting from the respective interference structures. The temperature is recovered from the position of the wire diffraction pattern relative to the main rainbow maximum. The technique was applied to a water spray at ambient temperature. The results showed the importance of nonsphericity detection.

Simultaneous Measurement of Droplet Size and Three-Components of Velocity in Spray

The combination of the optical diagnostics and image processing technique has produced various methods of practical measurement in engineering. The measurement of size and velocity of droplets in fuel spray is one typical example. In general, the spray is a complicated and three-dimensional two-phase flow; therefore multi-dimensional field measurement of the spray field is indispensable. In the present paper, a technique of simultaneous measurement of droplet size and three-components of velocity is proposed and applied to spray issuing from the swirl nozzle as a practical application. The focused image of glare points is captured by a stereoscopic arrangement, and droplet size and the three-components of velocity are evaluated from the doublet image. Fundamental optical arrangements to capture the image of the glare points with a stereo view are established, and the feasibility and the accuracy of the technique are confirmed. © 2004 The Optical Society of Japan

Terahertz Thermometry: Combining Hyperspectral Imaging and Temperature Mapping at Terahertz Frequencies

The accurate and non‐invasive determination of multiple physical parameters, with well‐defined spatial resolution, is crucial for applications in manufacturing, chemistry, medicine and biology. Specifically, the ability to simultaneously measure both temperature and spectral signatures is still experimentally unavailable. To this end, we propose a mapping technique for biological systems, which exploits a linear correlation between terahertz wave reflectivity and temperature, and allows to spatially and spectrally resolve thermal distributions. This method is applied to a model biological system in two relevant cases where in one example, nanoplasmonic‐induced photothermal effects are imaged gaining new insights into collective heating phenomena. In the second example, we demonstrate a joint thermal‐hyperspectral imaging approach to chemically map the presence of a model drug formulation and simultaneously investigate its thermal stability in our biological system. This concept can be easily extended and widely applied to all materials that demonstrate a measurable change in their dielectric properties.

Mean Field Dilute Ferromagnet: High Temperature and Zero Temperature Behavior

We study the mean field dilute model of a ferromagnet. We find and prove an expression for the free energy density at high temperature, and at temperature zero. We find the critical line of the model, separating the phase with zero magnetization from the phase with symmetry breaking. We also compute exactly the entropy at temperature zero, which is strictly positive. The physical behavior at temperature zero is very interesting and related to infinite dimensional percolation, and suggests possible behaviors at generic low temperatures. Lastly, we provide a complete solution for a (partially) annealed model. Our results hold both for the Poisson and the Bernoulli versions of the model.

Size Measurement of Small Magnetic Particles

Many different methods for size measurement are known and since they differ in their physical principles, different results are also obtained. In the recent past, there were rapid developments in new measurement techniques and one can now quickly and routinely determine particle sizes in the very fine range. Smaller particle sizes, on the other hand, tend to increase the probability of agglomeration. The measurement of the particle sizes for magnetic materials is not well understood and this paper reports results regarding the size determination of very fine magnetic materials. Because of their dipole moment, these particles tend to agglomerate even more, which in turn causes certain difficulties during the measurements. Wet and dry laser measurement systems were compared and also magnetic materials with different permeabilities in order to establish the influence of individual factors on the measurement process and on the accuracy of the results obtained.     

Determination of Size,Evaporation Rate and Freezing of Water Droplets using light scattering and radiation pressure

Two independent optical diagnostic techniques for studying the evaporation and freezing of optically levitated droplets are described. In the first technique the size of the droplet is determined by evaluation of the fringe spacing of the light scattered in the forward hemisphere at a scattering angle of 45°. The other technique evaluates the oscillations of optically leviated droplets caused by fluctuations in the radiation pressure. The frequency of these fluctuations is a direct measure for the change of radius with time. In both methods the signals change drastically when freezing of the droplet occurs. Hence the moment of freezing can easily be detected.     

A Nanometer Aerosol Size Analyzer (nASA) for Rapid Measurement of High-concentration Size Distributions

We have developed a fast-response nanometer aerosol size analyzer (nASA) that is capable of scanning 30 size channels between 3 and 100 nm in a total time of 3 s. The analyzer includes a bipolar charger (Po²¹⁰), an extended-length nanometer differential mobility analyzer (Nano-DMA), and an electrometer (TSI 3068). This combination of components provides particle size spectra at a scan rate of 0.1 s per channel free of uncertainties caused by response-time-induced smearing. The nASA thus offers a fast response for aerosol size distribution measurements in high-concentration conditions and also eliminates the need for applying a de-smearing algorithm to resulting data. In addition, because of its thermodynamically stable means of particle detection, the nASA is useful for applications requiring measurements over a broad range of sample pressures and temperatures. Indeed, experimental transfer functions determined for the extended-length Nano-DMA using the tandem differential mobility analyzer (TDMA) technique indicate the nASA provides good size resolution at pressures as low as 200 Torr. Also, as was demonstrated in tests to characterize the soot emissions from the J85-GE engine of a T-38 aircraft, the broad dynamic concentration range of the nASA makes it particularly suitable for studies of combustion or particle formation processes. Further details of the nASA performance as well as results from calibrations, laboratory tests and field applications are presented below.

On-line Measurement of Solids Concentration or the Mean Particle Size in a Saturated Slurry Containing Background Particles Using a Turbidity Method

An on-line double-sensor turbidimeter for estimating the solids concentration or the mean particle size in a saturated slurry system in the presence of foreign insoluble particles is proposed. The correlation representing the operation of the double-sensor turbidimeter for on-line implementation is also developed. The technique relies on measuring the transmittance of an infrared light beam through the suspension, once in the presence of soluble particles and a second time when the soluble particles have completely dissolved. The device can be easily implemented on a crystallization system for monitoring and control applications. The maximum errors for solids concentration and mean particle size measurements were 13% and 7%, respectively.
