    Shock tube study of the fuel molecular structure effects on the chemical kinetic mechanisms for soot formation (1983)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2004-12-03
    Description: The objective of this research effort is to investigate the gas-phase mechanisms which lead to soot formation in the combustion of complex hydrocarbon fuels. The fuel decomposition is studied under pyrolytic and oxidative conditions behind incident shock waves, using various optical diagnostics to monitor particle appearance and the behavior of gas phase species. In particular, we are investigating: (1) improved quantification of UV/visible soot yield measurements using infrared attenuation and emission techniques; (2) spectral characteristics of gas-phase emission and absorption in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared; and (3) a conceptual view of the chemical pathways for fuel decomposition and the gas-phase reactions leading to soot formation.

    Ultraviolet absorption: Experiment MA-059 (1977)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-31
    Description: A technique devised to permit the measurement of atmospheric species concentrations is described. This technique involves the application of atomic absorption spectroscopy and the quantitative observation of resonance fluorescence in which atomic or molecular species scatter resonance radiation from a light source into a detector. A beam of atomic oxygen and atomic nitrogen resonance radiation, strong unabsorbable oxygen and nitrogen radiation, and visual radiation was sent from Apollo to Soyuz. The density of atomic oxygen and atomic nitrogen between the two spacecraft was measured by observing the amount of resonance radiation absorbed when the line joining Apollo and Soyuz was perpendicular to their velocity with respect to the ambient atmosphere. Results of postflight analysis of the resonance fluorescence data are discussed.

    Spectral identification/elimination of molecular species in spacecraft glow (1985)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Computer models of molecular electronic and vibrational emission intensities were developed. Known radiative emission rates (Einstein coefficients) permit the determination of relative excited state densities from spectral intensities. These codes were applied to the published spectra of glow above shuttle surface and to the Spacelab 1 results of Torr and Torr. The theoretical high-resolution spectra were convolved with the appropriate instrumental slit functions to allow accurate comparison with data. The published spacelab spectrum is complex but N2+ Meinel emission can be clearly identified in the ram spectrum. M2 First Positive emission does not correlate well with observed features, nor does the CN Red System. Spectral overlay comparisons are presented. The spectrum of glow above shuttle surfaces, in contrast to the ISO data, is not highly structured. Diatomic molecular emission was matched to the observed spectral shape. Source excitation mechanisms such as (oxygen atom)-(surface species) reaction product chemiluminescence, surface recombination, or resonance fluorescent re-emission will be discussed for each tentative assignment. These assignments are the necessary first analytical step toward mechanism identification. Different glow mechanisms will occur above surfaces under different orbital conditions.

    Exit plane H2O concentration measurements correlated with OH PLIF near-injector mixing measurements for scramjet flows (1992)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Mixing and combusting high enthalpy flows, similar to those encountered in scramjet engines, were investigated using a shock tunnel to produce the flow in conjunction with non-intrusive optical diagnostics which monitored the performance of two injector configurations. The shock tunnel is configured to produce Mach 3 flow and stagnation enthalpies corresponding to flight equivalent Mach numbers between 7 and 11. A pulsed hydrogen injection capability and interchangeable injector blocks provide a means of examining high speed, high enthalpy reacting flows. Planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) of OH molecules in the near injector region produced images which show the combusting and mixing zones for the reacting flow. Line-of-sight exit plane measurement of water concentration and temperature were used to provide a unique method of monitoring exit plane products. These results demonstrated that a velocity matched axial injection system produced a fuel jet that lifted off the floor of the duct. Mixing was observed to increase for this system as a velocity mismatch was introduced. Comparison of exit plane water concentrations for a wall jet injection system and a velocity matched injection system indicated similar mixing performance but an accurate pressure measurement is necessary to further validate the result. In addition, exit plane measurements indicated an approximate steady-state condition was achieved during the 1 to 2 ms test times.

    Apollo-Soyuz O/3P/ and N/4S/ density measurement by UV spectroscopy (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The densities of O(3P) and N(4S) at 225 km were determined during the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project by a resonance absorption-fluorescence technique in which O I and N I line radiation produced and collimated on board the Apollo was reflected from the Soyuz back to the Apollo for spectral analysis. The two spacecraft maneuvered so that a range of observation angles of plus or minus 25 deg with respect to the normal to the orbital velocity vector was scanned. The measurements described were made at night on two consecutive orbits at spacecraft separations of 150 and 500 m. The results indicate an O density of 1.15 billion per cu cm (plus or minus 30%), agreeing with mass-spectrometric measurements made under similar conditions, and an N density of 5.6 to 11.2 million per cu cm, in good agreement with recent measurements but suggesting a smaller diurnal variation than predicted by present models.

    Observation of hydration of single, modified carbon aerosols (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: We have compared the hydration behavior of single carbon particles that have been treated by exposure to gaseous H2SO4 with that of untreated particles. Untreated carbon particles did not hydrate as the relative humidity varied from 0 to 80% at 23 C. In contrast, treated particles hydrated under subsaturation conditions; mass increases of up to 30% were observed. The mass increase is consistent with sulfuric acid equilibration with the ambient relative humidity in the presence of inert carbon. For the samples studied, the average amount of absorbed acid was 14% +/- 6% by weight, which corresponds to a surface coverage of approximately 0.1 monolayer. The mass fraction of surface-absorbed acid is comparable to the soluble mass fraction observed by Whitefield et al. (1993) in jet aircraft engine aerosols. Estimates indicate this mass fraction corresponds to 0.1% of the available SO2 exiting an aircraft engine ending up as H2SO4 on the carbon aerosol. If this heterogeneous process occurs early enough in the exhaust plume, it may compete with homogeneous nucleation as a mechanism for producing sulfuric acid rich aerosols.

    Hyperspectral Infrared Imaging of Flames Using a Spectrally Scanning Fabry-Perot Filter (2001)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The temperatures and compositions of gases in and around flames can be diagnosed using infrared emission spectroscopy to observe molecular band shapes and intensities. We have combined this approach with a low-order scanning Fabry-Perot filter and an infrared camera to obtain spectrally scanned infrared emission images of a laboratory flame and exhaust plume from 3.7 to 5.0 micrometers, at a spectral resolution of 0.043 micrometers, and a spatial resolution of 1 mm. The scanning filter or AIRIS (Adaptive Infrared Imaging Spectroradiometer) is a Fabry-Perot etalon operating in low order (mirror spacing = wavelength) such that the central spot, containing a monochromatic image of the scene, is viewed by the detector array. The detection system is a 128 x 128 liquid-nitrogen-cooled InSb focal plane array. The field of view is controlled by a 50 mm focal length multielement lens and an V4.8 aperture, resulting in an image 6.4 x 6.4 cm in extent at the flame and a depth of field of approximately 4 cm. Hyperspectral images above a laboratory CH4/air flame show primarily the strong emission from CO2 at 4.3 micrometers, and weaker emissions from CO and H2O. We discuss techniques to analyze the spectra, and plans to use this instrument in microgravity flame spread experiments.

    Infrared radiative properties of rapidly cooling, initially molten Al2O3 particles (1993)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: A shock tube technique was used to investigate the effects of rapid cooling of molten Al2O3 particles on their radiative signatures below the melt. Optically thin clouds of submicron Al2O3 particles in an Ar bath were shock-heated and then quench-cooled by a rarefaction wave. Visible pyrometry monitored the temperature history of the particles and infrared detectors quantified the IR signatures at several wavelengths. Data analysis gave values of the imaginary refractive index, k. As the particles cooled to submelt temperatures (1600 to 2300 K), the values of k remained near 0.1, comparable to the liquid values and several orders of magnitude larger than those for bulk alpha-Al2O3. This results in an enhancement of SWIR radiation by three or more orders of magnitude. These results give strong evidence that a rapid-cooling solidification process is primarily responsible for discrepancies between observed and predicted radiation in SRM tests.
