The paper presents a proof-of-principle study for the simultaneous imaging of temperature and fuel partial density in a realistic diesel spray using tracer-based planar laser-induced fluorescence (Tracer-PLIF). The fluorescence of 1-methylnaphthalene (1-MN) is characterized in a flow cell with respect to temperature and pressure in nitrogen atmosphere at IC engine conditions with excitation at 266 nm. The strong spectral red-shift of 1-MN with increasing temperature is used for two-color-LIF. The fuel partial density is determined with only one detection channel. This technique is further applied for investigation of temperature and fuel partial density in a diesel spray studied at 5 MPa and 800 K in an injection chamber. Averaged images are presented for a pilot injection revealing a maximum temperature difference between fuel jet and ambience of about 150 K with a maximum fuel partial density of about 220 g/m3. Between 1300 and 1700 µs after visible start of injection, the mixing temperature increases by up to 50 K and the fuel partial density decreases by about 20 g/m3because of gas entrainment. The suitability of the LIF technique for single-shot measurements is further demonstrated by studying the cyclic spray variations, which allows for a detailed understanding of mixture formation in IC engine combustion. This enhanced tracer-based LIF-technique for the first time allows for a simultaneous quantification of temperature and fuel partial density at elevated temperatures, which are highly relevant for diesel engines.
