A measurement technique for determination of the global and local equivalence ratios from the flame chemiluminescence for a swirl-stabilized lean premixed combustion of natural gas and kerosene is presented. First, we conducted spectrally resolved chemiluminescence studies using an imaging spectrometer to correlate the ratio of individual chemiluminescence signals to the equivalence ratio. Flame spectra were recorded for a multitude of different lean operating conditions for natural gas and kerosene combustion. The spectra show that, without background correction, the CH*/CO2* ratios for both natural gas and kerosene combustion exhibited a monotonic relationship to the equivalence ratio in the investigated range. Subsequently, bandpass-filtered images of CH* and CO2* chemiluminescence were acquired simultaneously on one camera chip using an image doubler to investigate the local relationship of the CH*/CO2* ratio with the equivalence ratio. The ratio images corroborate the monotonic relationship of the CH*/CO2* ratio to the equivalence ratio. Furthermore, the ratio was found to be influenced by the local reaction zone temperature. The presented technique allows high temporal resolution determination of the local equivalence ratio in lean premixed natural gas and kerosene flames and can thus be applied to quantify equivalence ratio oscillations during unstable combustion.
