Vibrational analysis of alkyl bromides: Part III. Branched-chain bromides: 1-bromo-3-methylbutane and 1-bromo-4-methylpentane

Liquid-state IR and Raman spectra and solid-state IR spectra were obtained for 1-bromo-3-methylbutane and 1-bromo-4-methylpentane. The butane exists as a mixture of P_C and P_H conformers in the liquid and amorphous solid, but only the P_H conformer is present in the crystalline solid. The pentane exists as a mixture of P_C,P_H, and P'_H conformers in the liquid and amorphous solid. The solid could not be made to crystallize. The observed bands are assigned to the appropriate conformers with the aid of normal coordinate calculations.     

In-bore spectral measurements in a plasma-armature railgun

Quartz optical fibers have been used to obtain quantitative, time-integrated, high-resolution, in-bore spectra from a plasma-armature railgun. The observed spectrum consists primarily of continuum radiation, and the only significant spectral features are resonant absorption lines. A detailed plasma-radiation model was used to predict the spectrum in the region of the absorption lines, providing an estimate for the concentration of aluminum and copper in the plasma. This model was also used to estimate the temperature profile of the armature. A reasonable agreement between the model and the observed spectrum yielded a concentration of 10% aluminum and 10% copper in the armature, with a centerline plasma temperature of 20000 K     

Conformational Analysis of Some Monochloroalkanes

Molecular mechanics calculations were made for 2-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane, 2-chloro-2,4-dimethylpentane, and 2-chloro-2,5-dimethylhexane in order to compare the results with conclusions obtained from vibrational spectra concerning the conformational behavior of these compounds. The structures, relative energies, and heats of formation were also calculated.     

Conformational Analysis of Some Chloro and Bromoalkanes

Rotational isoraerism has been shown by vibrational spectroscopy to exist in l-chloro-3-methylbutane,¹ l-chromo-3-methylbutane,² 2-chloro-4-methylpentane,^3,4 2-bromo-4-methylpentane,⁴ 1,3-dichlorobutane,⁵ and 1,3-dibromobutane.⁵ In some cases, definite conclusions were drawn concerning the number and identification of the conformers present. In other cases, it was not possible to determine with certainty which conformers exist. Molecular mechanics calculations have now been made for these six compounds in order to obtain additional information about their conformational behavior, including energies and structures of the possible conformers. The calculations were done with the MM2 program written by Allinger and Yuh and converted by Petillo to run on a microcomputer.⁶     

Conformational Analysis of 4,4-Dimethylheptane

Abstract

Infrared and Raman spectra were obtained for 4,4-dimethylheptane and were interpreted with the aid of normal coordinate calculations. It was shown that this compound exists in three conformations. Force constant values transferred from dimethylpentanes resulted in an overall average difference between observed and calculated wavenumbers of 4.5 cm^?1 for the three conformers.     

雾化角对液体火箭发动机燃烧室压力振荡的影响

针对液氧/煤油火箭发动机模型燃烧室实现了三维非稳态两相燃烧过程的数值模拟,得到的燃烧室截面平均压力和平均速度与实验吻合。在初边值条件不施加任何扰动的情况下,得到了燃烧室压力自激振荡过程,并研究了液氧和煤油喷嘴雾化角对燃烧室压力振荡的影响。计算结果表明:当雾化角为40°或120°时,由于燃料与氧化剂喷雾锥重叠区域较小或较大,导致了推进剂混合很差或很好,不易在燃烧室头部出现局部爆炸性的可燃混气团,致使燃烧室压力振荡强度较弱;而当雾化角为中间值65°时,易于出现爆炸性的可燃气团并导致剧烈的压力振荡,使燃烧室中出现燃烧不稳定性。因此,雾化角的合理设计是抑制燃烧不稳定性的一种途径。

Laser Diode-Pumped Nd：LuVO4 Acousto-Optic Q-Switched Laser at 916 nm

A compact laser diode-pumped solid-state Nd：LuVO4 acousto-optic Q-switched laser is demonstrated at 916 nm of a quasi-three level for the first time. A pulse width of 130ns is observed when the pulse-repetition frequency is 10 kHz. The laser experiment shows that the Nd：Lu VO4 crystal can be used for efficient diode-pumped Q-switched lasers.
