Rotational coherent anti-stokes Raman spectroscopy measurements in a rotating cavity with axial throughflow of cooling air: oxygen concentration measurements.
In a rotating cavity rig, which models cooling air flow in the spaces between disks of a gas turbine compressor, the buildup of oxygen concentration after the cooling gas was changed from nitrogen to air was monitored using rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS). From this information an estimate of the fraction of the throughflow entering the rotating cavity was obtained. This demonstrates that rotational CARS can be applied as a nonintrusive concentration-measurement technique in a rotating engineering test rig.
