Structure of premixed flames of propylene oxide: Molecular beam mass spectrometric study and numerical simulation

The knowledge of the combustion chemistry of oxygenated fuels is essential for the development of detailed kinetic mechanisms suitable for the combustion processes involving biofuels. Moreover, epoxidized olefins, are increasingly used as chemical intermediates or as bulk chemicals. Nevertheless, a dearth of data for their reactivity in the oxidative environment can be observed in the current literature. This study reports the experimental and the model characterization of the flame structure of propylene oxide at stoichiometric and fuel-rich conditions at atmospheric pressure. To this aim, the species mole fractions in three premixed flames stabilized on a flat-flame burner have been quantitatively measured by using the flame sampling molecular beam mass spectrometry. Three chemical kinetic mechanisms retrieved from the current literature involving propylene oxide chemistry have been validated against the novel experimental data. In general, the predictions appeared to be in satisfactory agreement with measurements except for acetaldehyde and ketene. The rate of production analysis in the flame has shown that the discrepancies observed for these species are related basically to the incorrect ratio between the rates of primary reaction pathways of propylene oxide destruction.     

Internal standard in flow injection analysis with amperometric detection

In this work, we describe for the first time the use of the internal standard method in flow injection analysis (FIA) with amperometric detection. The method is based on the application of sequential potential pulses to the working electrode in an electrochemical flow cell. The sequence of potential pulses is selected in such a way that the analyte and internal standard compound are detected and monitored individually and independently at the same working electrode. This approach compensates for random errors associated with variations of flow rate, injection volume, ionic strength difference between standards and samples, and accidental insertion or formation of air bubbles in the carrier stream. In addition, this method can overcome the major drawback of amperometric detection using solid electrodes, which is gradual electrode passivation. To illustrate the potential of this method, the flow-injection amperometric detection of uric acid using [Fe(CN)₆]^3? as an internal standard (IS) is presented as an example.

On the singularity of Green's tensor for a perfectly conducting semi-infinite cone

This paper is intended to clarify a misunderstanding concerningthe source singularity of the electric Green's tensor for aperfectly conducting semi-infinite cone of circular cross-section.Tai's series expansion of the Green's tensor is known to lacka singular term at the source region. Jones has reconstructedthe solution to this problem and has pointed out the differencebetween his result and that of Tai. The aim of our paper isto demonstrate that, although Jones's closed-form solution iscorrect, there is a mistake in his comparison with Tai's seriessolution. We conclude that one of the two additional singularterms that Jones claims as missing from Tai's formula must beomitted. Besides, we compare Jones's closed-form solution withSmyshlyaev's solution to the very same problem. We concludethat the magnetic field expressions given by Jones and Smyshlyaevcoincide, but a singular term is missing from Smyshlyaev's expressionfor the electric field.     

On the limiting profile arising from orthonormalizing shifts of exponentially decaying functions

It is shown that, under certain conditions, orthonormalizingthe positive integer shifts of an exponentially decaying functionon the half line by the Gram-Schmidt process leads to a limitingprofile given by orthonormalizing all their integer shifts onthe whole line. These results derive from properties of Choleskyfactorization of bi-infinite and semi-infinite matrices. Anexample is provided by the negative exponential function andconjectures are given, supported by numerical evidence, forthe Gaussian and Lorentz function.     

Neutron activation analysis for identification of African mineral dust transport

A Gent stacked filter unit sampler was used to collect air particulate matter (APM) in separate coarse (PM_2.5–10) and fine (PM_2.5) size fractions, at a sub-urban site in Lisbon, Portugal. The sampling was done during the year 2001 and two daily samples were taken per week. The filters were analyzed for particulate mass by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). The chemical analysis of APM levels and the study of the atmospheric dynamics by back-trajectories showed that most of the PM_2.5 and PM_2.5–10 peaks events were associated with air masses transport from the Saharan desert. High mineral load in ambient particulate matter levels were registered during the Saharan dust outbreaks. The accuracy of INAA to measure Fe, Sc and Sm was evaluated by NIST filter standards, revealing results with an agreement of ± 10%. This method constituted an important tool to identify these events.
