Description:
A model for acoustic plane wave propagation in a combustion duct through a confined, flowing gas containing soot particles is presented. The model takes into account only heat transfer between the gas and soot particles. As a result, the model depends on only a single parameter which can be written as the ratio of the soot particle thermal relaxation time to the soot particle mass fraction. The model yields expressions for the attenuation and dispersion of the plane wave which depends only on this single parameter. The model was used to calculate pressure spectra in a combustion duct. The results were compared with measured spectra. For particular values of the single free parameter, the calculated spectra resemble the measured spectra. Consequently, the model, to this extent, explains the experimental measurements and provides some insight into the number and type of particles.
