Various staff members from the CRF and the Hydrogen Program participated in the 2013 DOE Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Program and Vehicle Technologies Program Annual Merit Review (AMR) and Peer Evaluation Meeting, May 14–16 in Washington, DC. The AMR is sponsored by DOE’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Program and the Vehicle Technologies Program. Researchers John…
Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS)—one of the most powerful gas-phase spectroscopic techniques—has been widely used and refined over the last 40 years in many fields of chemical physics, from chemical sensing and standoff detection of biowarfare agents to measuring molecular dynamics. CARS has also been applied to numerous combustion research tasks, such as detecting both…
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories’ Combustion Research Facility, the University of Manchester, Bristol University, University of Southampton, and Hong Kong Polytechnic have successfully measured reaction rates of a second Criegee intermediate, CH3CHOO, and proven that the reactivity of the atmospheric chemical depends strongly on which way the molecule is twisted. The measurements will provide further…
