Here we present a computational and experimental fluid dynamics study for the characterization of the flow field within the gas chamber of a Quartz-Enhanced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy (QEPAS) sensor, at different flow rates at the inlet of the chamber. The transition from laminar to turbulent regime is ruled both by the inlet flow conditions and dimension of the gas chamber. The study shows how the distribution of the flow field in the chamber can influence the QEPAS sensor sensitivity, at different operating pressures. When turbulences and eddies are generated within the gas chamber, the efficiency of photoacoustic generation is significantly altered.
在此,我们进行了一项计算流体动力学和实验流体动力学研究,以表征石英增强光声光谱(QEPAS)传感器气室内在不同进气流量下的流场。从层流到湍流状态的转变既受进气流动条件的影响,也受气室尺寸的影响。该研究表明,在不同的工作压力下,气室内流场的分布会如何影响QEPAS传感器的灵敏度。当气室内产生湍流和涡流时,光声产生的效率会显著改变。
