Liquid phase temperature determination in dense water sprays using linear Raman scattering.
Linear Raman scattering has been applied for the determination of the temperature of the liquid phase in water sprays under normal and superheated conditions. The envelope of the Raman OH-stretching vibration band of water is deconvoluted into five Gaussian peaks which can be assigned to five different intermolecular interactions (hydrogen bonding). The intensity of each of the peaks is a function of the temperature and the phase of the water under investigation. The interference of the Raman signals originating from the water vapor is eliminated from the Raman signals originating from the liquid water. Consequently the temperature of the liquid water droplets surrounded by water vapor is accessible which is favorable for the investigation of non-equilibrium sprays where the droplet temperature is different to the vapor temperature.
