11  Liquid crystals (LCs) are substances in an intermediate phase that is between the pure solid and pure liquid phases.  Mechanically, LCs resemble liquids with viscosities ranging from runny glue to “solid” glass.  Optically, LCs exhibit many properties of crystals. TURBO POWER Program Conference 2009 April 23-24,Volvo Aero, Trollhättan Division of Heat Transfer, Lund University 11 Characteristics of LCs

12 3 classes of LCs according to their molecular structure: 1.Smectic 2.Nematic 3.Cholesteric  Molecular structure of the cholesteric liquid crystals is very delicately balance and can be easily upset.  All TLCs are cholesteric liquid crystals, which are used as temperature sensors.

13 TURBO POWER Program Conference 2009 April 23-24,Volvo Aero, Trollhättan Division of Heat Transfer, Lund University Characteristics of TLCs  TLCs display temperature-dependent colors by selectively reflecting incident white light.  Reflected light from the TLC is within the visible wavelength.  Reflected wavelength is typically decreased with rising temperatures.  The best color play performance appears when TLCs are applied as thin film on a light- absorbing black background. 13

14 TLC R35C10W description: TLC has the nominal R (red) start temperature at 35  C, and the bandwidth between R start and B (blue) start is 10  C.  At T below bandwidth, the TLC appears transparent.  As T rises through the TLC’s bandwidth, TLC turns R, G, and B sequentially.  As T exceeds the clearing point, the TLC enters the pure liquid state and reverts back to being transparent. TURBO POWER Program Conference 2009 April 23-24,Volvo Aero, Trollhättan Division of Heat Transfer, Lund University Characteristics of TLC R35C10W 14 TLC response to heating

15  Wooden black box : to keep a uniform temperature inside the box.  Small fan & heater : to heat the air supplied to the calibration box.  Power supply: to adjust heat until the calibration plate was observed to change color.  1 thermocouple (K type): to measure the local surface temperature over the calibration plate.  Ice bath: to maintain reference junction of thermocouple(s) at 0  C.  Multi-meter: to record temperature- time history of the TLC.

16 TURBO POWER Program Conference 2009 April 23-24,Volvo Aero, Trollhättan Division of Heat Transfer, Lund University Calibration Setup 16 Black enclosure (covered the whole system) : to prevent influence from the background lighting

17 TURBO POWER Program Conference 2009 April 23-24,Volvo Aero, Trollhättan Division of Heat Transfer, Lund University 17 Calibration Setup 3 parameters affecting TLC calibration 1. Surrounding illumination disturbance 2. Direct illumination and viewing angle 3. Digital resolution of the image conversion system 2 white lights : to provide illumination of the TLC. CCD digital camera: to record color-time history by viewing the surface.

18 As the actual color image of TLC is affected by several environmental factors such as thickness of TLC, angle and distance of the light illuminating the liquid crystal coated surface channel, a color calibration is crucial for high resolutions in measurement. The experiments are carried out under the same conditions as those for the calibration. TURBO POWER Program Conference 2009 April 23-24,Volvo Aero, Trollhättan Division of Heat Transfer, Lund University Importance of TLC Calibration 18

19  The dominant color on the calibration plate has different shades.  The original RGB (red, green, and blue) matrices are converted into HSI matrices, where H represents hue value.  As TLC reflects light at a wavelength dependent on temperature, the hue of the reflected light is also a function of temperature.  The hue value varies monotonically from 0-255,when the temperature of the TLC increases through its active interval.  The average hue value at a given temperature will be obtained from the TLC images and the calibration curve will thus be acquired.

21  Hue technique allows TLC R35C10W to be calibrated with a considerable sensitivity over its entire bandwidth.  Wide-band TLC R35C10W is expected to have a considerable potential to measure surface temperatures to an accuracy of less than 0.1  C, and will be used in future work in the project.
