The research team led by Professor Gao Xiaoming and Professor Liu Kun of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences recently designed a concentration independent pressure sensing technology for high-temperature combustion diagnosis. This method is based on dual color laser absorption spectroscopy.

The results of this study have been published in Optics Letters.
Aircraft engines are transitioning towards high-temperature and high-pressure combustion to improve thermodynamic efficiency. Pressure is a key parameter for monitoring engine performance and diagnosing engine faults. However, traditional contact pressure sensors can disrupt combustion flow and are limited by the temperature tolerance of the sensor material.

The researchers of this study designed a non-contact pressure sensing technology for high-temperature environments and tested it at temperatures up to 1300 K. This study mainly addresses the challenge of considering the influence of molecular concentration on gas pressure measurement in such an environment.

Researchers have found that by connecting double absorption lines to widen the collision line width, concentration variables can be alleviated. This breakthrough enables researchers to achieve concentration independent pressure measurements.

To verify this discovery, considering that the main product of hydrocarbon fuel combustion systems is H2O, the team used double absorption lines of H2O near 1343 nm and 1392 nm in a precisely designed heating absorption cell. They each achieved 50 μ S and 3% time resolution and pressure measurement uncertainty.
