| Description | An optical polarization (ellipsometric) technique was developed for measuring rapidly growing and evaporating transparent liquid condensate films (e.g., boric oxide) on solid surfaces exposed to combustion product gases. Results for the B2O3 deposition rate from BCl3-seeded propane/air flames are shown to agree well with the results of earlier interference measurements, and also with theoretical CVD predictions. Evaporation rates (from platinum ribbons into seeded propane air flames) are estimated using the polarization technique. It appears that, compared with the interference method, the polarization technique places less stringent requirements on surface quality, which may justify the added optical components needed for such measurements. It is concluded that the complementary optical methods of polarization (ellipsometry) and interference hold considerable promise for application to the rapid measurement of condensation and evaporation rates in high temperature (e.g., combustion product) environments. |
