Consider a two-color pyrometer such as in Problem 12.89 that operates at 1 = 0.65 m
Question:
Consider a two-color pyrometer such as in Problem 12.89 that operates at λ1 = 0.65 μm and λ2 = 0.63 λm. Using Wien’s law (see Problem 12.27) determine the temperature of a sheet of stainless steel if the ratio of radiation detected is Iλ1/Iλ2 = 2.15.
Data From Problem 12.89
A two-color pyrometer is a device that is used to measure the temperature of a diffuse surface, Ts. The device measures the spectral, directional intensity emitted by he surface at two distinct wavelengths separated by Δλ. Calculate and plot the ratio of the intensities Iλ + Δλ,e (λ+ Δλ, θ, ϕ, Ts) and Iλ,e (λ,θ, ϕ, Ts) as a function of the surface temperature over the range 500 K ≤ Ts ≤ 1000 K for λ = 5 μm and Δλ = 0.1, 0.5, and 1 μm. Comment on the sensitivity to temperature and on whether the ratio depends on the emissivity of the surface. Discuss the tradeoffs associated with specification of the various values of Δλ.
