Abstract
Optical diagnostics utilizing imaging system have been significant in the experiments of
combustion and fluids. Nonetheless, the majority of imaging techniques primarily focus
on the analysis of premixed flames. As the interest in alternative fuel systems utilizing
diffused gas increases, there is a high demand for the advancement of methods that
enable the analysis of diffused flames. The objective of this research is to create a novel
Schlieren system by utilizing the Z-type Schlieren technique in experimental settings,
building upon the conventional methodology. Additionally, various aspects of fluid
mechanics and combustion, including Schlieren imaging, have been explored through the
application of multiple optical methods. Schlieren technique is an effective method for
combustion diagnostics, based on the fact that light rays are bent whenever they
encounter changes in the density of a fluid. Schlieren system is generally used to
visualize the flow away from the surface of an object. This research applied the well-known Schlieren setup to analyze methane-ammonia diffused gas from which the hot air
around the flames could be visualized. The setup has been designed by using Z-type
Schlieren technique to emphasize the three major aspects of light (refraction, coma, and
astigmatism). By implementing this system, the diffused flame initialization, formation,
lift off and blow out could be projected and analyzed for methane-ammonia diffused
flame.
