Contrastive Analysis of Interferometric Techniques for Small Channel Temperature Measurements
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 13, No 1 (2024) pp. 63-71
Abstract
This research employs a state-of-the-art digital interferometric technique to investigate the temperature distribution within a confined rectangular channel, with a hydraulic diameter of 3 mm. The experimental setup incorporates an optical glass channel, with nanofluids (Aluminium oxide) as the test fluid at 0.001% volume concentration. To induce controlled heating, a heater filament is strategically placed along the bottom wall of the channel. Simultaneously, a T-type thermocouple is carefully placed to measure the temperature along the upper wall. Two distinct interferometric methods, namely the Michelson interferometer and the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, are employed to capture the complex details of fringes resulting from the evolving temperature field within the test section. A high-resolution CCD camera is employed to capture these fringes, and sophisticated digital image processing techniques are subsequently applied for in-depth fringe analysis. The culmination of these efforts results in the origin of a comprehensive localized temperature distribution map within the small-sized channel. The obtained temperature profiles are meticulously compared, providing valuable insights into the effectiveness and reliability of the Michelson and Mach-Zehnder interferometric techniques in this specific experimental context. This detailed comparative analysis contributes to the broader understanding of interferometric methods for temperature measurements in confined fluidic systems.
