Abstract
Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) measurements of nitric oxide (NO) using a Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) in the vicinity of 5.26 μm were conducted in a hypervelocity flow generated in the Texas A&M Hypervelocity Expansion Tunnel (HXT). The nascent NO was produced downstream of symmetric Mach reflections generated in Mach 8.5 flows with stagnation enthalpies from 6.9 to 11.1 MJ/kg. Path-averaged flow parameters of rotational and vibrational temperatures and NO concentration at a measurement rate of 30 kHz were obtained. By probing the R-branch of the fundamental absorption band in NO, thermal nonequilibrium and NO concentration levels in the post-shock region were measured. Measurements are compared to equilibrium calculations. NO equilibrium values during the 1 ms test period differ from the experimental rotational and vibrational measurements across the same time period. The experimental measurements of the rotational temperature show a consistent value around 3000 K larger than the recovered vibrational temperature across any run. The NO concentrations in all runs are near to the reported equilibrium value; often beginning higher than, and over time decaying to, the equilibrium concentration value of the specific tunnel run.
在德克萨斯州A&M超高速膨胀隧道(HXT)产生的超高速气流中,使用量子级联激光器(QCL)在5.26微米附近对一氧化氮(NO)进行了可调二极管激光吸收光谱(TDLAS)测量。新生氮氧化物产生于马赫数为 8.5、停滞焓为 6.9 至 11.1 MJ/kg 的对称马赫反射流的下游。在 30 kHz 的测量速率下,获得了旋转和振动温度以及 NO 浓度的路径平均流动参数。通过探测 NO 基本吸收带的 R 支,测量了冲击后区域的热非平衡和 NO 浓度水平。测量结果与平衡计算结果进行了比较。1 毫秒测试期间的 NO 平衡值与同一期间的旋转和振动实验测量值不同。旋转温度的实验测量值显示,在任何一次运行中,旋转温度都比恢复的振动温度大 3000 K 左右。所有运行中的氮氧化物浓度都接近报告的平衡值;通常开始时高于特定隧道运行的平衡浓度值,并随着时间的推移逐渐降低到平衡浓度值。
