Abstract
Recent determinations of the temperature dependence of acetone fluorescence have permitted the application of acetone planar laser-induced fluorescence imaging, which was already popular for mapping concentration, to the measurement of temperature. With a view toward developing temperature-imaging diagnostics, we present atmospheric-pressure fluorescence and absorption results acquired with excitation at eight wavelengths across the absorption feature of acetone and at temperatures from 300 to 1000 K. Modeling of the fluorescence yield of acetone is shown to be useful in explaining both these results and the variation of acetone fluorescence with pressure and composition that was observed in several studies. The model results in conjunction with the photophysics data provide guidance for the application of temperature diagnostics over a range of conditions while also suggesting useful multiparameter imaging approaches.Keywords
