Laser Probe Characterizes Combustion

Brent D. Johnson

Combustion is a complex phenomenon. When even a simple hydrocarbon such as CH4 burns in air, it produces a number of minority species, such as hydrogen and oxygen, that play important -- sometimes crucial -- roles in combustion chemistry. A better understanding of the process at this fundamental level could lead to the development of more efficient, nonpolluting engines and other combustion devices as well as fire retardants. A photothermal deflection spectroscopy technique was used to conduct experiments on hydroxyl radicals produced in a hydrogen/air flame when excited by...Read full article
