Temperature Measurement Using a Pneumatic Probe for Electrically Augmented Flames

Abstract

One of the most important characteristics of combustion processes is a flame temperature. However, the local temperature of an electrically augmented flame is too high to measure by the conventional methods. A new technique has been developed using a water cooled pneumatic probe. The results by this method show good agreement with the input energy with 3% error. In this paper, this technique is compared with other methods and some factors affecting its operation are discussed.
