چکیده

A method for quantitative measurements of gas and liquid distributions is demonstrated using simultaneous x-ray fluorescence and radiography of both phases in an atomizing coaxial spray. Synchrotron radiation at 10.1 keV from the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory is used for x-ray fluorescence of argon gas and two tracer elements seeded into the liquid stream. Simultaneous time-resolved x-ray radiography combined with time-averaged dual-tracer fluorescence measurements enabled corrections for reabsorption of x-ray fluorescence photons for accurate, line-of-sight averaged measurements of the distribution of the gas and liquid phases originating from the atomizing nozzle.

Recent developments in x-ray diagnostics for cryogenic and optically dense coaxial rocket sprays

The mixing and atomization of propellants is often characterized by optically dense flow fields and complex breakup dynamics. In the development of propulsion systems, the complexity of relevant physics and the range of spatio-temporal scales often makes computational simulation impractical for full scale injector elements; consequently, continued research into improved systems for experimental...

X-ray radiography and fluorescence for liquid distribution and mixing measurements in impinging jet sprays

The merging of unstable liquid jets, approaching with high momentum, results in atomization and liquid mixing within a rapidly deforming impingement zone. The complex geometry and high index-of-refraction gradients that occur near the point of impingement present a particularly difficult environment for optical interrogation. X-ray based diagnostics are performed to determine the liquid mass di...

Quantitative Flash X-ray Imaging of Liquid Mass Distribution in Optically Dense Sprays

The scattering of visible light in optically dense sprays compromises the ability of common spray imaging techniques to capture the quantitative liquid mass distribution. Because of reduced susceptibility to multiple scattering, X-ray radiography can overcome the difficulties associated with optical wavelengths and provide quantitative measurements of liquid mass distribution in a variety of sp...

Quantitative measurement of binary liquid distributions using multiple-tracer x-ray fluorescence and radiography.

The complex geometry and large index-of-refraction gradients that occur near the point of impingement of binary liquid jets present a challenging environment for optical interrogation. A simultaneous quadruple-tracer x-ray fluorescence and line-of-sight radiography technique is proposed as a means of distinguishing and quantifying individual liquid component distributions prior to, during, and ...

EFFECT OF NOZZLE DIAMETER AND ATOMIZING AIR PRESSURE ON CHARACTERISTICS OF IN-FLIGHT PARTICLES IN WIRE ARC SPRAYING

In wire arc spraying, the atomizing air pressure and applied nozzle system are important factors influencing particles characteristics and coating quality. The aim of this paper is to study how the characteristics of particles such as size, velocity and temperature are influenced by the operating conditions in wire arc spray. For that, three types of wires are tested: solid wire of stainless st...
