The oxygen atom is a critical oxidizer of hydrocarbons in high temperature combustion. Combustion models need to predict the products of these reactions accurately. Unlike other oxidizers, when O atoms react with hydrocarbons it is difficult to predict the products because of the effects of electron spin. New research that simultaneously measures multiple products of…
CRF researcher Hope Michelsen led discussions on Laser Induced Incandescence (LII) modeling at the 5th International Workshop on LII, held in France. Ray Bambha, also from Sandia, presented a talk entitled “Effects of particle coatings on LII” with Michelsen and CRF researchers Mark Dansson and Paul Schrader. CRF researcher Scott Skeen presented a talk entitled…
Various staff members from the CRF participated in the 2012 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Program and Vehicle Technologies Program Annual Merit Review and Peer Evaluation Meeting (AMR). The AMR is sponsored by the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Program and the Vehicle Technologies Program. CRF researchers spoke during the two-day meeting…
