We computed the flow of four gases (He, N 2, CO 2, and SF 6) through a critical nozzle by augmenting traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with a rate equation that accounts for τ relax, a species-dependent relaxation time that characterizes the

Numerous chemical analyses of gaseous and particulate samples from laboratory flames provide a library of data on the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) species found in diverse flame types burning fuels consisting of pure gaseous hydrocarbons. Diesel
This section provides correlation charts and operational information for the design and interpretation of ultraviolet spectrophotometric (UV-Vis) measurements. While UV-Vis. is perhaps not as information-rich as infrared or nuclear magnetic resonance, it
In this chapter, we present a series of correlation charts to aid in the interpretation of infrared spectra, and in performing infrared spectroscopic measurements. The correlation charts represent the characteristic absorptions that are produced by
This section provides correlation charts and operational information for the design and interpretation of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements.

Abstract. Solutions of known mass fraction of organic analytes of interest are typically used to calibrate the measurement processes used in the determination of these analytes. Appropriate value assignments and uncertainty calculations for these
A simplified method for the preparation of particles from liquid suspensions has been developed. Particles are deposited directly on carbon planchets for rapid analysis by environmental scanning electron microscopy or by conventional scanning electron

The purpose of this document is to establish minimum performance requirements and an associated test method for Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) based trace explosives detectors for use by the first responder community. Information concerning the theory and
A third generation silicon drift detector (SDD), a silicon multicathode detector (SMCD), was tested as an analytical x-ray spectrometer on a scanning electron microscope. The resolution, output count rate, and spectral quality were tested as a function of
Efficiencies of regenerative cryocoolers are influenced by losses within the pressure oscillator (compressor). An evaluation of these losses is important when searching for ways to improve the overall cryocooler efficiency. Typically, compressor efficiency

Chemical sensors capable of accurate detection of trace quantities of chemical warfare (CW) agents would provide a potent tool for perimeter security, treaty verification, battlefield threat detection, and the protection of civilians in public places

Microsensors have been fabricated consisting of TiO2 and SnO2 sensing films prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on MEMS- (micro-electromechanical systems) compatible array platforms. Response measurements from these devices to the CW agents GA
