In this paper, a detailed description of the infrared experimental set-up and some results of characterization of a micro turbine engine at ground level (having altitude of ~1500 m AMSL) are presented. The main instruments used were a medium wave infrared camera and a spectroradiometer. The radiometric properties were evaluated in three situations: firstly, by varying the aspect angle between the camera’s field of view and the turbine’s longitudinal axis, while maintaining a fixed engine velocity of rotation; secondly by varying this velocity for fixed aspect angle and, finally, for a small spectroradiometer field of view when observing three different points along the plume. The engine’s infrared numerical model, based on its observed infrared radiometric properties, is intended to be inserted in infrared scenario simulation software. |
