Abstract This work summarizes efforts to determine the accuracy and performance characteristics of a new and novel laser diagnostic to measure instantaneous, in flight, droplet temperatures. The instrument uses the location of the rainbow peak to deduce the refractive index of the droplet, which in turn is related to the droplet temperature. Preliminary experiments were undertaken in order to understand the fundamental operating principles and limitations of the instrument. These experiments measured the temperature of an isothermal, single stream of monodisperse droplets. These measurements indicate that the mean refractive index can be measured with a standard deviation as low as 0.0001m. Once the operation of the refractometer was proved under isothermal conditions, the measurement of droplet temperatures in a swirl-stabilized combustor was performed. These measurements indicate that the strength of the rainbow signal is significantly hampered by the noise induced by the flame. Preliminary temperature measurements with the combustor equipped with 45° vanes showed relatively constant radial temperature profiles (∼55–60°C) at locations less than 2 inches from the nozzle exit. A detailed examination of the temperature correlation with velocity and diameter revealed that larger and faster moving droplets dominate the distributions. Thus, the smaller droplets that are suspected of having the highest temperatures are inadequately represented in the mean droplet temperature.

Abstract A specially configured mechanical setup with sensors which was designed to record minimal and increased fluctuations in temperature as evidence of Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instabilities by means of LM35 sensors and data acquisition. The generation and spread of KH instabilities in steam and water was accomplished first time by following temperature profiles around the steam’s jet interface with the surrounding water. The supersonic steam was driven into the water in a vessel by means of a specially designed supersonic nozzle at pressure changing from 1.5 to 3.0 bars. Whereas, the temperature of the water in the cylindrical column varied from 30 o C to 60 o C with a change of 5 o C each time when the measurements were performed. The acquisition setup was able to record temperatures across the steam jet in the vessel at a rate of 1 ms, and it could also provide the temperature readings within the vessel. Axial and radial temperature profiles being obtained from 6 temperature sensors positioned along the steam jet, revealed the instabilities being occurred across the interface among the steam and the water, the instabilities spread along the axis towards the vessel wall. However, these instabilities were influenced considerably due to the variation in water temperature in the column, along with change in steam’s pressure. Also, instabilities were affected as well due to the change in viscosity of water owing to change in its temperature.

X-Ray observations of galaxies and clusters can, in principle, trace the binding mass in these systems. I review some of the relevant work. The mass of hot gas in rich clusters is comparable to or exceeds the mass in visible stars. This proportion of gas to stellar material could be universal, although there is no direct evidence that it must be. Studies of the distribution of the gas indicate the presence of dark matter in the envelopes of some dominant cluster galaxies, most notably M87. The M/LB values increase with radius to values of ∼ 400–600 M⊙/L⊙. Uncertainties in the temperature distribution of the gas have hampered these analyses and have made it difficult to draw definitive conclusions about the binding mass in clusters. Recent work on Coma suggests that M/L is falling with radius and the total M/L for the cluster may be as low as ∼ 120. Studies of early type galaxies show that many contain hot gas with temperatures ∼107 K. There is evidence for the existence of cooling flows, and gravity rather than supernovae may be the dominant source of energy that heats the gas. The deduced binding masses for several bright galaxies are uncertain because of the unknown temperature profiles. Values of M/LB ≃ 20–30 within ∼ 30–40 kpc are indicated if one assumes isothermality, but values as low as 5 and as high as 100 are allowed. With better models one may be able to reduce these uncertainties.
