Journal ArticleDOI
Energy source for comet outbursts
TL;DR: In this article, a mechanism is proposed which automatically provides a source of particulate matter which creates a huge surface area which contains a substantial percentage of amorphous ice, so that the phase transition of the amorphus ice to a cubic structure provides a release of energy which may be responsible for the outbursts observed in many comets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a sample equilibration system for the TEOM continuous PM monitor.
TL;DR: A new sample equilibration system (SES) has been developed to allow conditioning of the PM sample stream to a lower humidity and temperature level, and can be applied easily to existing TEOM monitors.
Patent
Microbalance and method for measuring the mass of matter suspended within a fluid medium
TL;DR: In this paper, the oscillating element in a microbalance is provided with a filter on its oscillating end for the entrapment of matter whose mass is to be determined by passing the medium containing such matter therethrough.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a Reference Standard for Particulate Matter Mass in Ambient Air
TL;DR: In this article, a new technique is introduced which has the potential to overcome the difficulties inherent in PM mass measurement and holds the promise of the measurement of PM mass as it exists in ambient air at ambient temperature.
Patent
Diesel particulate monitor
TL;DR: In this article, the diesel particulate concentration of diesel exhaust is measured by collecting the diesel exhaust on a filter (18) while measuring the amount of exhaust passing through the filter and the filtered particulate is then heated in an oxygen-rich environment to oxidize carbon within the particulate to carbon dioxide.
