Measurements of diffusion coefficient and kinetic diameter of acetone vapor via molecular tagging

Résumé

Abstract The Molecular Tagging (MT) technique is a promising methodology for locally measuring velocity and temperature fields in rarefied gas flows. Recently, Molecular Tagging Velocimetry (MTV) has been successfully applied to gas flows in mini-channels in the continuum regime at high pressure and early slip-flow regime at lower pressure. As the operating pressure decreases, diffusion effects become more pronounced, and in MTV, they hinder the extraction of the correct velocity profile by simply dividing the displacement profile of the tagged molecular line by time of flight. To address this issue, a reconstruction method that considers Taylor dispersion was previously developed to extract the velocity profile, considering the diffusion effects of the tracer molecules within the carrier gas. This reconstruction method successfully extracted the correct velocity profile in the continuum flow regime. However, the method still faces challenges in the slip-flow regime. Since there is currently no consensus in the literature regarding the kinetic diameter value of acetone vapor, the diffusion coefficient estimation is uncertain especially at low pressures. This is why, in this study, we propose an original optical method to measure the diffusion coefficient of acetone vapor. This is achieved by linking the temporal evolution of the spatial photoluminescence distribution of acetone vapor to the diffusion coefficient via the Chapman-Enskog theory. Our research provides measurements of these parameters for a wide range of pressures (0.5–10 kPa) at ambient temperature.
