Infrared thermal imaging system
FY 2007-08
Summary
Funds are requested in this proposal for the purchase of an infrared thermal imaging system for surface temperature measurements. The infrared camera measures the temperature field non-intrusively in a two-dimensional plane with very high spatial and temporal resolution. It measures the temperature field at solid or liquid surfaces irrespective of the surface curvature. The requested system is capable of measuring the surface temperature fields over a very wide range of spatial scales from macro to micro. This system would provide the capability of measuring complex temperature fields that are very difficult to measure otherwise.The requested equipment is very versatile and flexible that can be used for a very wide range of applications. The equipment can be easily adapted for use in different types of experimental setups. Due to its versatility, this equipment will be used as an effective tool by the applicants who have diverse research areas from classical thermo-fluids and chemical kinetics to material sciences and micro/nano-technologies. The equipment will support research projects mainly funded by NSERC. It is anticipated that the equipment will be used by at least ten graduate students in the coming four years, and will be fully utilized on other research projects in our research group in the future.
