Thermographic Phosphors for High Temperature Measurements: Principles, Current State of the Art and Recent Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reviews the state of phosphor thermometry, focusing on developments in the past 15 years. The fundamental principles and theory are presented, and the various spectral and temporal modes, including the lifetime decay, rise time and intensity ratio, are discussed. The entire phosphor measurement system, including relative advantages to conventional methods, choice of phosphors, bonding techniques, excitation sources and emission detection, is reviewed. Special attention is given to issues that may arise at high temperatures. A number of recent developments and applications are surveyed, with examples including: measurements in engines, hypersonic wind tunnel experiments, pyrolysis studies and droplet/spray/gas temperature determination. They show the technique is flexible and successful in measuring temperatures where conventional methods may prove to be unsuitable.

Transient measurements using thermographic phosphors.
The decay of thermographic phosphors has been used to measure temperature in a wide variety of applications. Because measurements of a single temperature are obtained from intensity decay in time, the use of phosphors is predicated on the fact that the temperature does not change during the decay. This may not be valid in some engineering applications. A new model for phosphor data reduction de...
متن کاملHeat Flux Determination From Measured Heating Rates Using Thermographic Phosphors
A new method for measuring the heating rate (defined as the time rate of change of temperature) and estimating heat flux from the heating rate is proposed. The example problem involves analytic heat conduction in a one-dimensional slab, where the measurement location of temperature or heating rate coincides with the location of the estimated heat flux. The new method involves the solution to a ...
متن کاملTransient Thermal Measurements Using Thermographic Phosphors for Temperature Rate Estimates
This paper addresses the potential for predicting heat flux from thermographic phosphor measurements. Temperature can be measured using thermographic phosphors by extracting the intensity decay of the phosphor, which is temperature dependent. This measured temperature can then be used to estimate boundary heat fluxes, which is often called the inverse heat conduction problem. Heating rate can a...
متن کاملField effect transistor nanobiosensors: State-of-the-art and key challenges as point of care testing devices
The existing health care systems focus on treating diseases rather than preventing them. Patients are generally not tested unless physiological symptoms are appeared. When they do get tested, the results often take several days and can be inconclusive if the disease is at an early stage. In order to facilitate the diagnostics process and make tests more readily available for patients, the conce...
