Test bed system for indicating and visualization - methodology, examples, and benefits

摘要

Thermodynamic analysis and conventional testing provide a fast and well understood rating of a combustion system's development status. As they identify system deficiencies against desired targets they also define the need for systematic techniques and procedures to support engine development. This paper presents a methodology to integrate unconventional stand-alone techniques into a diagnostic test bed system. It provides examples to demonstrate the requirements for and benefits of the systematic test bed system. It provides examples to demonstrate the requirements for and benefits of the systematic application of modular diagnostic components in combustion system development. It shows how conventional indicating and complex optical techniques form well defined diagnostic modules modules within an open, modular test bed system.
