3 Experiments on Droplet Array <strong>Combustion</strong><br />

high flow velocity v (with|v| max = 14.75 m s −1 ). For <strong>the</strong> round tube <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sample<br />

probes used, <strong>the</strong> hydraulic diameter simplifies as D h = D i [189, 396, 453]:<br />

Re= v D h<br />

ν , (3.21)<br />

D h = 4 A Π . (3.22)<br />

The Reynolds number calculates to Re= 67 for <strong>the</strong> opening and to Re=670 to<br />

830 for <strong>the</strong> outlet, depending on <strong>the</strong> varying gas composition and temperature<br />

caused by <strong>the</strong> fresh air entrainment. In ei<strong>the</strong>r case, it is well below <strong>the</strong> critical<br />

Reynolds number for <strong>the</strong> respective type <strong>of</strong> geometry <strong>of</strong> Re opening,crit = 1100<br />

and Re outlet,crit = 2300, as stated by Sigloch [396]. Consequently, laminar<br />

flow can be assumed for <strong>the</strong> whole combustion chamber, and, in summary,<br />

Figures 3.24 and 3.23 reveal that <strong>the</strong> probe arrangement was specified to allow<br />

a spatially and temporally smooth exhaust gas sampling.<br />
