Using digital holographic interferometry to monitor symmetrical temperature fields in liquids and an interference technique for simultaneous heat and mass transfer
Abstract: In this work, we offer a technique for off-axis digital holographic interferometry to measure dynamic temperature change quantitatively in real-time and visualise volumetric temperature fields formed by a 2D axial-symmetric heated fluid from a pulsatile jet in a water tank. For the experimental examination, a portable Mach-Zehnder interferometer was constructed. The pulsatile jet was supplied with hotter water and submerged in a tank of water. Results that have been averaged, …
