Laser-Induced Incandescence Measures Soot in Jet Exhaust

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Brent D. Johnson

When monitoring the performance of jet engines, aerospace engineers typically are concerned with intake phenomena, such as how wind velocity, rain and shock waves affect the turbine at subsonic to supersonic speeds. But a growing awareness of the adverse health effects of air pollutants has led to a renewed interest in understanding what happens at the other end of the system, when an exhaust plume leaves the engine. Peter DeBarber and Tom Jenkins of MetroLaser Inc. in Irvine, Calif., have devised a nonextractive measurement technique that uses laser-induced incandescence to obtain real-time...Read full article
