The Oxidation of a Gasoline Fuel Surrogate in the Negative Temperature Coefficient Region David Burton Lenhert Dr The Oxidation of a Gasoline Fuel Surrogate in the Negative Temperature Coefficient Region A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Drexel University by David Burton Lenhert in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering July 2004 © Copyright 2004 David B. Lenhert. All Rights Reserved. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank all of the people that have contributed and supported me during this lengthy endeavor to complete my Masters Thesis. Of special note, I would like to thank my advisors Dr. Nicholas P. Cernansky, Dr. David L. Miller, and Dr. Kevin G. Owens for their support, guidance, tolerance, and friendship throughout this enterprise. Most importantly, I appreciate their willingness to allow me the opportunity and time to modify various aspects of the experimental and analytical facilities and to conduct this research independently. I must acknowledge the assistance of Abdul Rafey Kahn, Suqing Wang, and Alessandro Agosta as they have helped me during various stages of this work. In addition, Dr. Richard Billmers and Mary Emig have provided the much needed outlet to keep my spirits up over the past six years at Drexel. Furthermore, the past and present staff at the Hess Laboratories, namely Richard Miller, Lou Hass, and Dr. Bill Danley, have been helpful in the completion of this project. Finally, I would like to give special thanks to Dawn Carolan who has supported me through good and bad times and has dragged me out of the lab for some desperately needed distraction. This research was funded by the U.S. Army Research Office (Grant No. DAAG55- 98-1-0286, Project No. 37699-EG, Grant No. DAAG55-97-1-0196, Project No. 36910- EG-AAS and Grant No. DAAD19-03-1-0070, Project No. 44458-EG), the National Science Foundation (Grant No. CTS-9910563), and the Hess Fellowship.

  • Retention Indices for Frequently Reported Compounds of Plant Essential Oils
    Retention Indices for Frequently Reported Compounds of Plant Essential Oils V. I. Babushok,a) P. J. Linstrom, and I. G. Zenkevichb) National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, USA (Received 1 August 2011; accepted 27 September 2011; published online 29 November 2011) Gas chromatographic retention indices were evaluated for 505 frequently reported plant essential oil components using a large retention index database. Retention data are presented for three types of commonly used stationary phases: dimethyl silicone (nonpolar), dimethyl sili- cone with 5% phenyl groups (slightly polar), and polyethylene glycol (polar) stationary phases. The evaluations are based on the treatment of multiple measurements with the number of data records ranging from about 5 to 800 per compound. Data analysis was limited to temperature programmed conditions. The data reported include the average and median values of retention index with standard deviations and confidence intervals.

In the early days of this technology, there were many who saw the potential of these new instruments for environmental measurements and how this technology could be integrated into emissions and ambient air monitoring for the measurement of flux. However, the monitoring community did not embrace ORS as quickly as anticipated. Several factors contributing to delayed ORS use were: • Cost: The cost of these instruments made it prohibitive to purchase, operate and maintain. • Utility: Since these instruments were perceived as “black boxes.” Many instrument specialists were wary of how they worked and how the instruments generated the values. • Ease of use: Many of the early instruments required a well-trained spectroscopist who would have to spend a large amount of time to setup, operate, collect, validate and verify the data. • Data Utilization: Results from path integrated units were different from point source data which presented challenges for data use and interpretation.

Title: Volatile Organic Compound Production in Synechococcus WH8102. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Kimberly Halsey High-resolution mass spectrometry was used to measure a range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in real time as they were produced by the ubiquitous marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus WH8102 during a 24-hour light/dark cycle. Ethenone, acetaldehyde, ethanol, isoprene, acetic acid, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), acetone, phenol, and several as-yet unidentified compounds were measured in higher concentration in live cultures than in azide-killed cultures or sterile artificial seawater. Several compounds were found in higher concentration in the daylight part of the diel cycle than in the night, suggesting VOCs are produced during active photosynthesis.

  • Preparation and Purification of Atmospherically Relevant Α
    Technical Note: Preparation and purification of atmospherically relevant a-hydroxynitrate esters of monoterpenes Elena Ali McKnight, Nicole P. Kretekos, Demi Owusu, Rebecca Lyn LaLonde 5 Chemistry Department, Reed College, Portland, OR, 97202, USA Correspondence to: Rebecca Lyn LaLonde ([email protected]) Abstract. Organic nitrate esters are key products of terpene oxidation in the atmosphere. We report here the preparation and purification of nine nitrate esters derived from (+)-3-carene, limonene, a-pinene, b-pinene and perillic alcohol. The availability of these compounds will enable detailed investigations into the structure 10 reactivity relationships of aerosol formation and processing and will allow individual investigations into aqueous phase reactions of organic nitrate esters. 1 Introduction Biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions account for ~88% of non-methane VOC emissions. Of the total BVOC estimated by the Model of Emission of Gases and Aerosols from Nature version 2.1 15 (MEGAN2.1), isoprene is estimated to comprise half, and methanol, ethanol, acetaldehyde, acetone, a-pinene, b-pinene, limonene, ethene and propene together encompass another 30%. Of the terpenoids, a-pinene alone is estimated to generate ~66 Tg year -1 (Guenther et al., 2012). These monoterpenes can be oxidized by nitrate radicals that are projected to account for more than half of the monoterpene-derived secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in the US (Pye et al., 2010). Nitrate oxidation pathways have been shown to be important particularly 20 during nighttime. A large portion (30-40%) of monoterpene emissions occur at night (Pye et al., 2010). These emissions can then react with NO3 radicals, formed from the oxidation of NO2 emissions by O3, (Pye et al., 2010).
