为了研究扩散火焰空间分布特性, 采用具有空间分辨能力的激光诱导击穿光谱技术对甲烷/空气本生灯扩散火焰进行了实验研究, 得到了不同流量(0.100L/min,0.120L/min)、不同高度(7mm,9mm,11mm)的火焰以及中心轴线上的击穿阈值、等离子体能量、光谱强度比等相关参量的分布情况。结果表明, 等离子体能量可以用来定性描述扩散火焰温度空间变化规律, 结合分析等离子体能量和H/O谱线强度比的分布情况可确定扩散火焰不同高度上火焰前沿的位置以及第二燃烧区域的宽度;根据相关实验点近似得到H/O谱线强度比与火焰局部当量比线性关系式, 可得到不同流量条件下扩散火焰轴向当量比分布情况以及火焰长度。此研究结果对于激光诱导击穿光谱技术应用于燃烧诊断方面具有重要意义。

In order to explore spatial distribution characteristics of diffusion flame, spatially-resolved laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was used to study the laminar diffusion methane-air flame. The spatial distributions of the threshold energy, the plasma energy and the intensity ratio were obtained at different heights (7mm, 9mm and 11mm) with the flow rate of 0.100L/min and 0.120L/min. The results show that the spatial distribution of flame temperature can be qualitatively described by the plasma energy. Combining the analysis of the plasma energy distribution and the H/O intensity ratio distribution, the positions of the flame front and the width of secondary combustion region can be determined. In addition, according to the relevant measurement, the linear equation for H/O intensity ratio and equivalent ratio can be determined approximately. By this linear equation, the axial distribution of local equivalent ratio and the flame length is obtained. These results have important significance for LIBS application in combustion diagnosis.
