Meshed infrared thermography for determining temperature distributions in air flows

Abstract

In this study, the components and implementation of the Meshed Infrared Thermography are described and the validation of the method is presented. A measurement mesh is placed into the flow where the temperature distribution is wanted to be known and the infrared camera is placed perpendicular to the measurement mesh to capture the infrared images of the mesh. Images than processed and the temperature distribution at that part of the flow is obtained. Results of the Meshed Infrared Thermography were compared with thermocouple data and good relation was found.
