OPTICAL HEAT FLUX MEASUREMENTS FOR ENGINE AND TURBINE RIGS TO ACCELERATE TURBINE DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
This proposal requests an advanced thermal imaging system composed of a multi-wavelength infrared approach for use in an engine-relevant research environment. Single-wavelength measurements, which provide only surface temperature measurements, have already been demonstrated by the PIs and have shown breakthrough understanding of turbine cooling architectures. However, the combination of imaging in multiple wavelengths provides the ability to measure surface temperatures in tandem with much needed heat flux on rotating blades. The proposed multi-wavelength measurement system represents the product of premier thermal imaging development for turbine applications over the past decade.
