Abstract:

Schlieren optical visualization technique system is the unique technique due to the ability in producing a neutral image easily-interpretable image of refractive-index-gradient areas. The Schlieren system provides a method for viewing the flow through the transparent media and the most using this technique is to photograph the flow. This paper presents the review of the application of the Schlieren optical visualization system external and internal combustion engine in order to observe the fuel-air mixing and flame development during the burning process. The basic technique of Schlieren system, especially for Z-type and two mirror Schlieren system provide a powerful and clearly image to visualize the changes of the density in a transparent medium. This method can capture spray evaporation, spray interference and mixture formation clearly with real images. Analysis of optical image visualization observations reveals that the mixture formation of fuel and air exhibits the influence of the ignition and flame development. Thus, the observation of systematic control of the creation of a mixture of experimental apparatus allows us to achieve significant progress in the combustion process and will present the information to understanding the basic terms of reduced fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
