Strategies and Technology for Managing High-Carbon Ash

Description: The overall objective of the present project is to identify and assess strategies and solutions for the management of industry problems related to carbon in ash. Specific research issues to be addressed include: (1) the effect of parent fuel selection on ash properties and adsorptivity, including a first ever examination of the air entrainment behavior of ashes from alternative (non-coal) fuels; (2) the effect of various low-NOx firing modes on ash properties and adsorptivity; and (3) the kinet… more

Combustion-related studies using weakly-bonded complexes

Description: Objectives are to study binary complexes involving molecular oxygen and the photoinitiated reactions, and to study species involving oxygen atoms and small molecules and simple hydrocarbons. Attempts were made to produce O({sup 3}P) in a jet by photodissociation of NO{sub 2} and to cluster it with HCl. A new pulsed jet vacuum system with greater sensitivity is being constructed. The IR spectrum of O{sub 2}DCl complex was measured.

Ignition Analysis of a Porous Energetic Material - II. Ignition at a Closed Heated End

Description: A continuation of an ignition analysis for porous energetic materials subjected to a constant energy flux is presented. In the first part (I), the analysis was developed for the case of an open-end, semi-infinite material such that gas flow, generated by thermal expansion, flowed out of the porous solid, thereby removing energy from the system. In the present study, the case of a closed end is considered, and thus the thermally-induced gas flow is now directed into the solid. In these studies, … more

Three-body collision contributions to recombination and collision-induced dissociation. 1: Cross sections

Description: Atomic and molecular recombination and collision-induced dissociation (CID) reactions comprise two of the most fundamental types of chemical reactions. They are important in all gas phase chemistry; for example, about half of the 196 reactions identified as important in combustion chemistry are recombination or CID reactions. Many of the current chemical kinetics textbooks and kinetics papers treat atomic and molecular recombination and CID as occurring only via sequences of two-body collisions… more
