The performance of the CT-TDLAS (computed tomography-tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy) is strongly dependent upon the line broadening functions. The line of the laser beam used in the TDLAS is scattered by the natural broadening, the collisional broadening and the doppler broadening. The influence of the natural broadening to the experimental spectra obtained in the TDLAS is negligible. The influences of the collisional broadening and the doppler broadening to the experimental spectra are relatively large, in high pressure gas flows and in high temperature low pressure gas flows, respectively. In this study, optimal coefficients are proposed for the doppler broadening function by using the experimental data obtained in a flat burner test. The optimal coefficients were ${\gamma}_j=0.16$ and n=0.37. Using these coefficients, the temperature and concentration distributions at the engine exhaust gas pipe have been calculated showing their validities.

Most of reconstruction algorithms for the calculation of temperature distributions in CT (computed tomography)-TDLAS (tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy) are based upon two-line thermometry method. This method gives unstable calculation convergence due to signal noise, bias error, and signal mis-matches. In this study, a new reconstruction algorithm based on cross-correlation for temperature calculation is proposed. The patterns of the optical signals at all wave lengths were used to reconstruct the temperature distribution. Numerical test has been made using phantom temperature distributions. Using these phantom temperature data, absorption spectra for all wave lengths were constructed, and these spectra were regarded as the signals that would be obtained in an actual experiments. Using these virtually generated experimental signals, temperature distribution was once again reconstructed, and was compared with those of the original phantom data. Calculation errors obtained by the newly proposed algorithm were slightly large at high temperatures with small errors at low temperature.

대기 오염 물질 저감과 연소 효율 증가를 위해서 연소 환경 내 일산화탄소를 정밀하게 측정하는 것은 필수적인 요소이다. 일산화탄소(carbon monoxide, CO)는 불완전 연소 때 급격히 증가하며 질소산화물(nitrogen oxide, NOx)과 Trade-off 관계로 오염 물질 배출량과 불완전 연소 반응에 기여하는 중요한 가스종이다. 특히, 대형 연소 시스템 중 열처리로의 경우, 강판 표면위 산화층 형성을 억제하기 위해 과잉 연료 조건에서 환원 분위기로 운전이 진행된다. 이는 많은 양의 미연분 일산화탄소가 배출되는 원인이기도 하다. 하지만 연소 환경 내에서 일산화탄소 농도는 불균일한 연소 반응과 열악한 측정 환경으로 인하여 실시간 측정이 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해서 광학적 측정 방식인 파장 가변형 다이오드 레이저 흡수 분광법(tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy, TDLAS)이 각광을 받고 있다. TDLAS 기법은 열악한 현장 측정, 빠른 응답성, 비접촉식 방식으로 연소 환경 내 특정 가스종 농도 측정에 적합하다. 본 연구는 과잉 연료 조건에서 당량비 제어를 위한 연소시스템을 제작하였으며 연소 배기가스 생성을 위해 LPG/공기 화염을 이용하였다. 당량비 변화에 따른 CO 농도 측정은 TDLAS와 Voigt 함수 기반 시뮬레이션으로 분석하였다. 또한 연소 생성물로부터 간섭이 없는 CO 광 흡수 영역 확보를 위해 근적외선 영역의 4300.6 cm^-1을 선택하여 실험을 진행하였다.

In order to improve the performance of temperature field measurements by CT-TDLAS (Computer Tomography Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy), a new reconstruction algorithm, named two-ratios-of-three-peaks method is proposed in this paper. Further, two methods for selecting appropriate initial values of the iterative calculation of CT-TDLAS are proposed. One is MLOS (multiplicative line of sight) method and the other one is ALOS (additive line of sight) method. Two-ratios-of-three-peaks (2R3P) algorithm combined with MART (multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique) is finally developed for the enhancements of reconstructive calculations. The results have been compared with those obtained by the conventional one-ratio-of-two-peaks (1R2P) algorithm. In order to evaluate the performance of this algorithm, numerical test has been performed using phantom Gaussian temperature distributions with $11{\times}11$ square mesh. The performance of the constructed algorithm has been demonstrated by comparing the results obtained in actual burner experiments with those obtained by thermocouples. It has been verified that 2R3P algorithm with MART and MLOS showed best performance than that of 1R2P algorithm.
