Abstract
This paper describes the applicability of laser-induced incandescence (LII) as a measurement technique for primary soot particle sizes at elevated pressure. A high-pressure burner was constructed that provides stable, laminar, sooting, premixed ethylene/air flames at 1–10 bar. An LII model was set up that includes different heat-conduction sub-models and used an accommodation coefficient of 0.25 for all pressures studied. Based on this model experimental time-resolved LII signals recorded at different positions in the flame were evaluated with respect to the mean particle diameter of a log-normal particle-size distribution. The resulting primary particle sizes were compared to results from TEM images of soot samples that were collected thermophoretically from the high-pressure flame. The LII results are in good agreement with the mean primary particle sizes of a log-normal particle-size distribution obtained from the TEM-data for all pressures, if the LII signals are evaluated with the heat-conduction model of Fuchs combined with an aggregate sub-model that describes the reduced heat conduction of aggregated primary soot particles. The model, called LIISim, is available online via a web interface.
