Gas-phase temperature measurement in the vaporizing spray of a gasoline direct-injection injector by use of pure rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering.
Pure rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy is applied for quantitative gas-phase temperature measurements in the vaporizing spray of an automotive fuel injector. Interferences from elastically scattered stray light are greatly reduced by use of a polarization technique and spectral filtering in a double monochromator. The applicability of this technique to probing low-temperature sprays is successfully demonstrated.
