Flame stabilization in DME spray flames under engine-relevant conditions characterized by OH* chemiluminescence and formaldehyde laser-induced fluorescence

The transient and quasi-steady flame structures of Dimethyl Ether (DME) fuel sprays, produced by a single-hole injector (Spray D), were investigated using Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) and chemiluminescence imaging in a constant-volume chamber under Engine Combustion Network (ECN) Spray A conditions (900 K ambient temperature, 60 bar ambient pressure, 1500 bar injection pressure, and 22.8 kg/m 3 ambient density). Low-temperature chemical reaction zones were visualized using formaldehyde (CH 2 O) PLIF with 355 nm excitation, while high-temperature flame regions were captured via chemiluminescence imaging of excited-state hydroxyl radicals (OH*). Both transient and quasi-steady flame structures clearly show the transition from CH 2 O to OH*, highlighting the progression from low- to high-temperature combustion, while the position of the flame is displaced for DME compared to reference hydrocarbon n-dodecane. Homogeneous reactor calculations with detailed chemistry and using adiabatic mixing for initial temperature show that CH 2 O peaks are significantly higher for DME at the same equivalence ratio, with a higher heat-release during the cool-flame regime with respect to the fuel heating value. Thus, the cool-flame dynamic as a precursor to high-temperature combustion and flame stabilization exhibit distinct behavior for DME relative to conventional hydrocarbons, and these phenomena are effectively resolved through the soot-free nature of DME and the high-speed, time-resolved diagnostics.

H2/O2 three-body rates at high temperatures

The extraction of thrust from air breathing hypersonic propulsion systems is critically dependent on the degree to which chemical equilibrium is reached in the combustion process. In the combustion of H2/Air mixtures, slow three-body chemical reactions involving H-atoms, O-atoms, and the OH radical play an important role in energy extraction. A first-generation high temperature and pressure flash-photolysis/laser-induced fluorescence reactor was designed and constructed to measure these important three-body rates. The system employs a high power excimer laser to produce these radicals via the photolysis of stable precursors. A novel two-photon laser-induced fluorescence technique is employed to detect H-atoms without optical thickness or O2 absorption problems. To demonstrate the feasibility of the technique the apparatus in the program is designed to perform preliminary measurements on the H + O2 + M reaction at temperatures from 300 to 835 K.

High-throughput single-cell sorting by stimulated Raman-activated cell ejection

Raman-activated cell sorting isolates single cells in a nondestructive and label-free manner, but its throughput is limited by small spontaneous Raman scattering cross section. Coherent Raman scattering integrated with microfluidics enables high-throughput cell analysis, but faces challenges with small cells (<3 μm) and tissue sections. Here, we report stimulated Raman-activated cell ejection (S-RACE) that enables high-throughput single-cell sorting by integrating stimulated Raman imaging, in situ image decomposition, and laser-induced cell ejection. S-RACE allows ejection of live bacteria or fungi guided by their Raman signatures. Furthermore, S-RACE successfully sorted lipid-richRhodotorula glutiniscells from a cell mixture with a throughput of ~13 cells per second, and the sorting results were confirmed by downstream quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Beyond single cells, S-RACE shows high compatibility with tissue sections. Incorporating a closed-loop feedback control circuit further enables real-time SRS imaging-identification-ejection. In summary, S-RACE opens exciting opportunities for diverse single-cell sorting applications.

Collisional quenching of atoms and molecules on spacecraft thermal protection surfaces

Preliminary results of a research program to determine energy partitioning in spacecraft thermal protection materials due to atom recombination at the gas-surface interface are presented. The primary focus of the research is to understand the catalytic processes which determine heat loading on Shuttle, Aeroassisted OTV, and NASP thermal protection surfaces in nonequilibrium flight regimes. Highly sensitive laser diagnostics based on laser-induced fluorescence and resonantly-enhanced multiphoton ionization spectroscopy are used to detect atoms and metastable molecules. At low temperatures, a discharge flow reactor is employed to measure deactivation/recombination coefficients for O-atoms, N-atoms, and O2. Detection methods are presented for measuring O-atoms, O2 and N2, and results for deactivation of O2 and O-atoms on reaction-cured glass and Ni surfaces. Both atom recombination and metastable product formation are examined. Radio-frequency discharges are used to produce highly dissociated beams of atomic species at energies characteristic of the surface temperature. Auger electron spectroscopy is employed as a diagnostic of surface composition in order to accurately define and control measurement conditions.

Real-Time Elemental and Isotopic Measurements of Molten Salt Systems through Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Molten salt reactors are an emerging advanced nuclear reactor concept in which the fuel is dissolved into the working fluid in the form of a high-temperature molten salt. The complex, mobile, and corrosive nature of this fluid presents a fundamental challenge for analytical measurements. Tracking species throughout the reactor is important for ensuring proper operation. This article presents laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) used to monitor the elemental composition of a molten salt and corresponding hydrogen isotopic shifts in real-time. A NaNO 3 –KNO 3 eutectic salt was saturated with protium and deuterium gases, then the effluent aerosol stream formed using an argon sparging vessel was monitored with LIBS. This modular LIBS system permitted several spectrometers to be used simultaneously to capture high-resolution isotopic shifts and provide broadband elemental coverage. Further, the results exhibit how LIBS can be used to understand salt–gas chemical and physical interactions such as diffusion. Furthermore, LIBS’ broad elemental coverage can provide greater insight into the chemical reactions within the salt vessel such as the formation of water vapor by monitoring hydrogen and oxygen signatures simultaneously. Ultimately, this study demonstrates the analytical possibilities of LIBS for real-time monitoring of isotopes and elemental composition in molten salt systems.

Extraction, Characterization, and Stability Studies of Bistriazinyl-Derived Carboxylic Acids

Separation of An(III) and Ln(III) ions will benefit the recycling of used nuclear fuel (UNF). For this purpose, many ligands have been tested over the years, and several separation processes have been successfully demonstrated on the laboratory scale. Current research aims at the development of new ligands that are built only with carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON), as they can be incinerated completely without secondary waste production. Here, we tested a new class of water-soluble ligands, the bistriazinyl-octa-carboxylic acids. One member, in particular, 2,6-bis-[5,6-di(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)-1,2,4- triazin-3-yl]-pyridine (BTPOA), was found to be suitable for the selective separation of Am(III) and Cm(III) ions from Ln(III) ions and may act as a CHON alternative to its sulfonated analogue (SO 3 -Ph-BTP). BTPOA exhibited good extraction results and a high selectivity for Am(III) over Eu(III) ions. This ligand’s complexation of metal ions was further studied using potentiometric spectroscopy, as well as time-resolved laser-induced spectroscopy with Cm(III) and Eu(III) in aqueous HClO 4 and HNO 3 media. Conditional stability constants of each formed species were determined. In the HClO 4 system, Cm(III) formed three species (1:1, 1:2, and 1:3) through the stepwise addition of a single BTPOA molecule. On the other hand, in HNO 3 , Cm(III) formed two 1:2 complexes and one 1:3 complex, while the stepwise formation of three species was observed for Eu(III). The stability constants are comparable to the values for SO 3 -Ph-BTP. The radiolytic behavior of BTPOA was also investigated using electron pulse irradiation measurements to determine absolute rate coefficients (k) under ambient temperature conditions for the reaction of BTPOA with typical UNF reprocessing radical radiolysis products the hydrated electron (e aq − , k = (1.60 ± 0.02) × 10 10 M −1 s −1 ), the hydrogen atom (H • , k = (2.17 ± 0.03) × 10 9 M −1 s −1 ), and hydroxyl ( • OH, k = (6.95 ± 0.06) × 10 9 M −1 s −1 ) and nitrate (NO 3 • , k = (0.37 ± 0.02) × 10 7 M −1 s−1) radicals. These rate coefficients indicate that the radiolytic longevity of BTPOA should increase with HNO 3 concentration, owing to the consumption of e aq − /H • , by nitrate anions, and the replacement of • OH by the less reactive NO 3 • .

Impact of target-derived and ambient oxygen on gas-phase oxidation in laser ablation plumes

Gas-phase oxidation in a laser-produced plasma is significantly influenced by the availability of oxygen in and around the plume. In this study, we investigate the role of target-derived and ambient oxygen on AlO formation in plasmas generated from aluminum (Al) and Al 2 O 3 targets in air and argon, respectively. Our results highlight that gas-phase oxidation occurs early during the evolution of Al 2 O 3 plasmas in argon, in contrast to Al plasmas in air, where the initial exclusion of oxygen from the plume delays the chemical reactions.

Two-dimensional mapping of absolute OH densities in an atmospheric pressure plasma effluent via planar laser-induced fluorescence: effects of He/H 2 O and He/O 2 mixtures in N 2 and air, with and without solid targets

Planar laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) was employed to measure the absolute density of hydroxyl radicals (OH) in the effluent of the COST Reference Microplasma Jet for two feed gas mixtures: He/H 2 O and He/O 2 . Experiments were conducted with the effluent propagating into air and N 2 environments. For the He/H 2 O case, measurements were also performed with the effluent impinging on a solid target at varying distances from the jet nozzle. Calibration of the OH-LIF signal from the COST-Jet was achieved by comparing it to a reference signal generated by the photofragmentation of H 2 O 2 . Results demonstrated that OH densities were sustained longer when the effluent propagates in a nitrogen environment compared to air, particularly with water added to the feed gas. The broader OH distribution in N 2 suggests slower consumption due to the absence of oxygen, which accelerates OH depletion in air via reactions involving O 2 and HO 2 . Even when water was not added to the feed, as in the He/O 2 case, appreciable OH densities were observed, due to gas impurities and reactive species interactions with atmospheric humidity, forming reaction fronts that delineate the gas flow. Two-dimensional fluid dynamics simulations elucidated the influence of atmospheric gas entrainment and solid targets on the OH distribution. Experimental trends were further compared with a zero-dimensional chemistry model to explore OH production and consumption mechanisms in air and nitrogen environments.

The effect on soot and its gas precursors of doping ethylene with 2,2,4,6,6-pentamethyl-heptane in the nitrogen-fuel stream of a laminar non-premixed Planar Mixing Layer Flame (PMLF)

Synthetic Aviation Turbine Fuels (SATFs) are promising for reducing soot emissions from the aviation sector and diversifying Jet Fuel (JF) sources. Accurately predicting the combustion and emissions behavior of SATFs (and other JFs) necessitates robust experimental databases to elucidate the chemistry of long-chain iso-paraffins, which can compose up to two-thirds of SATF blends and whose behavior is considered to be well-represented by that of iso-dodecane isomers. Here, this study characterizes two laminar non-premixed Planar Mixing Layer Flames (PMLFs) with mild soot loads fueled by nitrogen-diluted ethylene, pure and doped with 2,2,4,6,6-pentamethyl-heptane, respectively. The two PMLFs have the same stoichiometric mixture fraction and total hydrocarbon mole fraction in the fuel stream (X F,F =X C2H4,F +X C12H26,F = 0.260), resulting in nearly the same maximum temperature (T max ≈1800 K) and simple identification of the effects of doping. Importantly, any horizontal PMLF cross-section has a self-similar structure that can be modeled as an equivalent One-Dimensional Counterflow Flame (1D-CF) with vanishingly small strain rate (a). The cross-section at a Height Above the Burner (HAB) of 50 mm is characterized in terms of C 0 -C 18 gas species using capillary sampling followed by GC-MS analyses. Laser-Induced Emission Spectroscopy (LIES) quantifies the soot volume fraction (ƒ v ) profiles at HAB=25 and 50 mm where Elastic Laser Light Scattering (E-LLS) is performed to determine the a of the equivalent 1D-CFs and the profile of the E-LLS equivalent diameter ( d 6,3 ) of soot. The substitution of 1500 ppm of ethylene with 2,2,4,6,6-pentamethyl-heptane causes an increase of ≈1.5 in the concentrations of several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and fv. Concurrently, the measured d 6,3 doubles in the oxidizer stream, yet remains the same in the fuel stream, at HAB=50 mm. Instead, at HAB= 25 mm, the iso-dodecane doping does not affect the d 6,3 profile in either stream. The experimental results partially validate the chemical reactions and soot formation kinetic model developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and provide directions to further improve its predictions.

Online LIBS–ML Framework for Dynamic Characterization of Heterogeneous Waste-Derived Gasification Feedstocks

LIBS−ML framework for real time feedstock characterization during continuous conveyor transport Heterogeneous waste derived feedstocks (e.g., waste coal, biomass and blends) introduce rapid variability in heating value and ash chemistry that affect gasifier operation, yet conventional laboratory characterization techniques are too slow to support proactive control. To address this gap, this study reports on an online, in situ, dynamic characterization framework that couple’s laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) with leakage safe machine learning (ML) regression to deliver real time, decision quality predictions of gasifier relevant properties. A controlled sample matrix spanning two different waste coals, two different biomasses, and engineered blends under two particle size conditions were constructed and benchmarked using standardized laboratory analyses for proximate/ultimate properties and ash composition. LIBS spectra were acquired dynamically as material flowed on a conveyor belt, using high energy 1064 nm laser ablation and shot averaging to improve repeatability and precision. Supervised regression models (multi layer perceptron (MLP) /artificial neural network (ANN), random forest (RF), and support vector regression (SVR)) and an optimized weighted ensemble were trained on emission line feature sets using nested cross validation with Bayesian hyperparameter tuning and validated against an independent hold out set. The proposed LIBS−ML workflow achieves near laboratory predictive fidelity across parametric targets (including higher heating value (HHV), ash content, fixed carbon, sulfur, major ash forming oxides, and initial deformation temperature (IDT)), with the weighted ensemble providing a robust default predictor under dynamic measurement conditions. These results demonstrate a practical pathway for real time feedstock characterization that can enable feedforward adjustments and more resilient gasifier operation for variable quality waste derived fuels.

Imaging solvated oxygen atoms with a femtosecond laser

As a powerful oxidant, atomic oxygen (O) holds considerable promise for a variety of biomedical and industrial applications. However, the inability to quantify solvated oxygen atoms has prevented the determination of the fundamental parameters governing its behaviour in relevant aqueous environments. Here, we directly image ground-state oxygen atoms in water using femtosecond two-photon absorption laser-induced fluorescence. Measurements show that oxygen atoms persist for tens of microseconds in water, penetrating hundreds of micrometres into the liquid. This observed longevity has significant implications, suggesting a need to re-evaluate existing models of solvated atomic oxygen reactivity and transport. Beyond atomic oxygen, this technique is broadly applicable to other solvated atomic species of interest, including nitrogen (N) and hydrogen (H). This work establishes that radical atomic species can be quantified in liquid with ultrafast laser spectroscopy, providing the basis for the determination of key properties including reaction rates, chemical lifetimes, and Henry’s law constants.

Enhanced production of active species and NH 3 using non-equilibrium ferroelectric barrier discharge

Non-equilibrium plasma-assisted ammonia synthesis is investigated through enhanced active species production with ferroelectric discharge. Time-resolved in-situ diagnostics of femtosecond two-photon absorption laser-induced fluorescence, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering, and laser absorption spectroscopy, as well as optical emission spectroscopy, were conducted to probe the key intermediate species, such as H and N radicals as well as N 2 (ν), ions, and NH 3 to achieve better understanding of non-equilibrium energy transfer and ammonia formation. The results reveal that ferroelectric discharge improved ammonia yield by four times. Results also show that ferroelectrics not only enhanced ions (N 2 + ) production, radicals (N, H) number density, but also increased the N 2 vibrational temperature. Further plasma modeling identified the couplings between elevated radical and ion production and enhanced vibrational excitation reactions, e.g., N + H 2 (ν)→NH + H, N 2 (ν)+H → NNH, N 2 + + H 2 → H + N 2 H + , and N 2 H + +e→NH + N, facilitated by ferroelectric discharge. These findings provide critical insight into the mechanism of ferroelectric plasma catalysis and highlight their potential in advancing energy-efficient chemical synthesis.

Production of OH from photolysis of HOCl at 307-309 nm

Laser-induced fluorescence has been used to measure the amount of OH produced in the laser photolysis of HOCl at 310 nm. The HOCl was generated by the Cl2O + H2O and by the HCl + Cl2O reactions. The laser technique samples OH on a microsecond time scale so that secondary radical reactions cannot contribute significantly to the observed signals. The fluorescence signals were calibrated with O3-H2O mixtures, the reactions O3 + h(nu) yields O(1D) + O2 and O(1D) + H2O yields 2OH yielding known amounts of OH. The value for the absorption cross section of HOCl at 310 nm has been determined to be 6 x 10 to the -20th sq cm, assuming K(eq) = 0.082 for the Cl2O + H2O yields 2HOCl system and assuming unit quantum yield for the production of OH. The present investigation further supports earlier experimental work concluding that HOCl will photodissociate rapidly and will not be an important holding tank for chlorine in the stratosphere. These results are in disagreement with theoretical calculations of the UV absorption spectrum of HOCl in the 300-350-nm wavelength region.

The OH + HBr reaction revisited

Variable-temperature measurements of the rate coefficient /k(1)/ for the reaction OH + HBr yield Br + H2O are presented. The measurements are verified by two techniques: one involved a 266-nm pulsed-laser photolysis of O3/H2O/HBr/He mixtures in conjunction with time-resolved resonance fluorescence detection of OH, the second comprised pulsed laser-induced fluorescence detection of OH following 248-nm pulsed-laser photolysis of H2O2/HBr/Ar mixtures. It is reported that k(1) = (11.9 + or -1.4 x 10 to the -12th (cu cm)/(molecule)(s) independent of temperature. The measurements are compared with other available results.

Kinetics of OH + CO reaction under atmospheric conditions

A pulsed laser photolysis-pulsed laser-induced fluorescence technique is used to directly measure the temperature, pressure, and H2O concentration dependence on k1 in air. K1 is found to increase linearly with increasing pressure at pressures of not greater than 1 atm, and the pressure dependence of k1 at 299 K is the same in N2 buffer gas as in O2 buffer gas. The rate constant in the low-pressure limit and the slope of the k1 versus pressure dependence are shown to be the same at 262 K as at 299 K. The present results significantly reduce the current atmospheric model uncertainties in the temperature dependence under atmospheric conditions, in the third body efficiency of O2, and in the effect of water vapor on k1.

Initiation precursors and initiators in laser-induced copolymerization of styrene and maleic anhydride in acetone

The initiation step of photopolymerized styrene/maleic anhydride copolymer was investigated at 365 nm. UV absorption measurements provide decisive evidence that the styrene/maleic anhydride charge transfer complex is the sole absorbing species; however, key laser experiments suggest intermediate reactions lead to a monoradical initiating species. A mechanism for the photoinitiation step of the copolymer is proposed.

A photochemical model of ozone interference effects in laser detection of tropospheric OH

Laser-generated interference in the laser-induced fluorescence detection of tropospheric hydroxyl is addressed by a detailed photochemical model. This phenomenon arises through photolysis of ozone by the detection laser and subsequent reaction of O(1D) with H2O to form OH. The approach is direct time integration of the coupled differential equations describing the pertinent chemical reactions, collisional energy transfer, and photolytic and spectroscopic processes, including an assessment of limitations due to uncertainties in the input parameters. The goal is to use the model to quantitatively design OH detection methods so that the experimental results need not rely on such a model for interpretation. Previously reported measurements of tropospheric OH appear to have been contaminated by ozone interference effects and by optical saturation of the monitoring transition. However, suggested improvements can reduce the problem to interference levels below 200,000 OH molecules/cu cm, permitting measurements useful for testing theories of fast tropospheric photochemistry.

Engineering the Interface: Advanced Surface Technologies for Lunar Dust Management and Equipment Longevity

Through the Artemis program, NASA intends to develop a sustainable human foothold on the Moon, ultimately paving the way for crewed exploration of Mars. The Moon's hostile environment poses numerous obstacles, including exposure to radiation, temperature extremes, micrometeoroid threats, and particularly the persistent problem of lunar dust. Lunar dust impacts nearly every aspect of surface operations through adhesion and abrasion mechanisms, with contamination from anthropogenic activities (landing, rovers) far outweighing natural phenomena. Multiple adhesion pathways contribute to surface contamination in the lunar environment, including van der Waals forces, electrostatic forces, chemical reaction, and magnetic forces from elemental iron deposits. Sharp asperities from micrometeoroid bombardment and atmospheric absence increase interaction potential and enable mechanical interlocking. Low cohesion between dust particles exacerbates these challenges, as minimal interaction potential between dust and nearby surfaces overcomes particle cohesion, causing contamination. Lunar dust adhesion mitigation technologies can be categorized as either active, requiring external energy, or passive, relying on intrinsic material properties. Ultrasonic and electrodynamic technologies have been developed to the highest technology readiness level for active approaches. Passive strategies primarily focus on surface chemistry and topography modifications. At NASA Langley Research Center, approaches include surface migration agents to reduce surface energy, topographical modification using laser ablation patterning, and tailored surface conductivity to reduce intrinsic adhesion force. Performance has been evaluated using custom-built ultrasonic and centrifuge instruments. Plume-surface interactions from lunar landers can propel micrometer-sized particles at velocities up to 1000 m s-1.8 These particles pose risks to landers, habitats and infrastructure, leading to erosion, degradation, and reduced component lifespan. A panel recovered from Surveyor III was determined to have been severely abraded because of lunar dust displaced from the Apollo 12 lunar module that landed 160 m away. The performance of metallic surfaces has been evaluated via high velocity single particle impact using the laser-induced project impact test (LIPIT) facility at the University of Utah. Peridynamics modeling, a form of continuum mechanics that uses a nonlocal approach enabling greater simulation capabilities of crack initiation and fracture, has also been utilized to gain greater insight into material response during impact events. Lunar dust contamination challenges extend to power generation systems and moving equipment. Cables, rotation stages, and other mechanisms may experience limited range of motion and reduced lifetime due to dust infiltration. NASA Langley Research Center has evaluated traditional aerospace alloys, softgoods, wear resistant ceramics, and several polymer and polymer composite materials. Test methods have included traditional techniques like Taber abrasion testing, as well as designed test configurations developed in the DUSTE (dust, ultraviolet radiation, and space thermal environmental) chamber that reproduce mechanism functions in operational environment. Beyond laboratory experiments, several flight experiments have been conducted. Materials were exposed to the low Earth orbit environment on the Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE) and to the lunar surface environment through the Aegis Aerospace Regolith Adherence Characterization (RAC) payload and the Honeybee Robotics PlanetVac payload. Determining lunar dust's impact on surface exploration and habitation requires comprehensive experimental and computational capabilities combined with lessons learned from initial lunar activities. Identifying the greatest environmental challenges and developing mitigation technologies provides the clearest path toward successfully, expeditiously, and efficaciously completing NASA's mission. This presentation will discuss ongoing efforts at NASA Langley Research Center and collaborator contributions to these critical objectives.
