Journal ArticleDOI

A Raman Spectroscopic Study of MoS2 and MoO3: Applications to Tribological Systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the Raman vibrational modes were investigated for excitation wavelengths at 632.8 and 488 nm using both micro-crystalline MoS2 powder and natural MoS 2 crystals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advanced Distillation Curve Analysis on Ethyl Levulinate as a Diesel Fuel Oxygenate and a Hybrid Biodiesel Fuel

TL;DR: In this paper, a new processing technique was developed that converts the carbohydrates found in plant biomass into ethyl levulinate, which has properties making it a possible diesel fuel oxygenate additive.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laser ablation—laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LA-LIBS): A means for overcoming matrix effects leading to improved analyte response

TL;DR: In this paper, a laser-ablation laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LA-LIBS) was proposed as a novel analytical scheme with goals of improved analyte response, minimization of sample matrix effects, and use of non-matrix matched standards.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of low temperature fuel chemistry on turbulent flame propagation

TL;DR: A new high temperature, high Reynolds number, Reactor assisted Turbulent Slot (RATS) burner has been developed to investigate turbulent flame regimes and burning rates for large hydrocarbon transportation fuels, which exhibit strong low temperature chemistry behavior as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

In situ species diagnostics and kinetic study of plasma activated ethylene dissociation and oxidation in a low temperature flow reactor

TL;DR: In this paper, in situ measurements by mid-IR laser absorption spectroscopy of C 2H 4 /Ar dissociation and C 2 H 4 /O 2 /Ar oxidation activated by a nanosecond repetitively pulsed plasma have been conducted in a low temperature flow reactor (below 500 K) at a pressure of 60 Torr for both a continuously pulsed discharge mode and a burst mode with 150 pulses.
