Confined rapid thermolysis/FTIR/ToF studies of imidazolium-based ionic liquids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used FTIR spectroscopy and time-of-flight (ToF) mass spectrometry to study thermal decomposition of three imidazolium-based ionic liquids, with 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolate (emim) as the cation, and NO3−, Cl−, and Br− as the anions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal decomposition studies of energetic materials using confined rapid thermolysis / FTIR spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental setup for performing rapid thermolysis studies of small samples of energetic materials is described, where about 8 μL of a liquid sample or about 2 mg of a solid sample is heated at rates exceeding 1500 K/s to a set temperature where decomposition occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Condensed-phase kinetics of cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine by modeling the T-jump/infrared spectroscopy experiment
TL;DR: In this paper, the T-jump experiment was developed for use with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy to simulate the high heating rate environment, and a heat transfer model of the filament and sample, a model of a current's control circuit, and global decomposition and heat release mechanisms of Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of anisotropic thermal conductivity of the GDL and current collector rib width on two-phase transport in a PEM fuel cell
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional two-phase model based on the classical two-fluid model is used to analyze electrochemical and thermal transport in a PEMFC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discrete-ordinates method in radiative heat transfer
TL;DR: In this article, the formulation of the discrete-ordinates method is described for computing radiative transfer in a one-dimensional slab and two-dimensional rectangular geometries, including the effects of absorbing, emitting and scattering constituents.
