Interaction of nanoparticles with ideal liquid-liquid interfaces
(2009)
Using molecular simulations the interaction between a noncharged nanoparticle and an ideal liquid-liquid interface is studied. The free energy profile as function of nanoparticle-interface separation is determined using ...
Classification of narcotics in solid mixtures using principal component analysis and Raman spectroscopy
(ASTM International, 2002-03-01)
Eighty-five solid samples consisting of illegal narcotics diluted with several different materials were analyzed by near-infrared (785 nm excitation) Raman spectroscopy. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was employed to ...
A high-pressure rapid compression machine study of n-propylbenzene ignition
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2013-08-28)
This study presents new ignition delay data measured in a rapid compression machine over a wide range temperature, pressure and fuel/air ratio. This data is an extension of that measured previously (D. Darcy, C.J. Tobin, ...
An experimental and modeling study of the shock tube ignition of a mixture of n-heptane and n-propylbenzene as a surrogate for a large alkyl benzene
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2012-07-11)
Alkyl aromatics are an important chemical class in gasoline, jet and diesel fuels. In the present work, an n-propylbenzene and n-heptane mixture is studied as a possible surrogate for large alkyl benzenes contained in ...
Comparison of the performance of several recent syngas combustion mechanisms
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2015-01-22)
A large set of experimental data was accumulated for syngas combustion: ignition studies in shock tubes (732 data points in 62 datasets) and in rapid compression machines (492/47), flame velocity determinations (2116/217) ...
An experimental and modeling study of propene oxidation. Part 2: Ignition delay time and flame speed measurements
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-09-11)
Experimental data obtained in this study (Part II) complement the speciation data presented in Part I, but also offer a basis for extensive facility cross-comparisons for both experimental ignition delay time (IDT) and ...
Influence of steam dilution on the ignition of hydrogen, syngas and natural gas blends at elevated pressures
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-11-10)
This paper presents the influence of steam dilution on the autoignition behaviour of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, syngas, methane, and natural gas mixtures under gas turbine-relevant conditions. Rapid compression machine ...
Low Temperature Fluorescence Studies of Crude Petroleum Oils
(2011)
We have studied the low-temperature (133-298 K) fluorescence emission of crude petroleum oils using a combination of steady-state and time-resolved measurements. This was done, first, to see if we could generate linear ...
Prediction of Cell Culture Media Performance Using Fluorescence Spectroscopy
(2010)
Cell culture media used in industrial mammalian cell culture are complex aqueous solutions that are inherently difficult to analyze comprehensively. The analysis of media quality and variance is of utmost importance in ...
An experimental and modeling study of diethyl carbonate oxidation
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2015-01-19)
Diethyl carbonate (DEC) is an attractive biofuel that can be used to displace petroleum-derived diesel fuel, thereby reducing CO2 and particulate emissions from diesel engines. A better understanding of DEC combustion ...
