Abstract
Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) measurements of OH were performed in flat stoichiometric CH4/air flames burning at 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.6 bar, which had previously been investigated using OH resonance CARS. In the LIF study, line shape information and temperatures were extracted from excitation spectra; in addition, OH profiles as a function of height above the burner surface and an estimate of the OH concentration for the different flames were obtained. The perspectives and feasibility of quantitative fluorescence measurements in high pressure flames are discussed, particularly in comparison with the application of resonance CARS.
