New Publication on Thermometry and Concentration Measurements in Droplets and Sprays based on Laser-induced Fluorescence

Our latest paper "Two-Dye Two-Color Laser-Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy on Droplets of Green Solvent Water/Ethanol Mixtures for Thermometry and Mixture Composition" showcases some recent progress in our research on thermometry in sprays.

This work highlights advancements in our spectroscopy-based temperature approach including a discussion of the limitations of the two-dye two-color LIF technique. It also showcases spectroscopic measurements in jets and proposes the application of the method for determining mixture composition in binary water/ethanol droplets and sprays. With both liquids classified as "green solvents" this fluorescence technique focuses on measurements in emerging applications geared toward greater sustainability. The publication is an open access article published in the journal “Experiments in Fluids” and is accessible via the following link:
