Lee’ *Graduate Aeronautics Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 9112.5, USA ‘Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, McGill University, Montr&al, Que’bec, Canada, H3A 2K6 In this work, the critical diameter for detonation was measured for Nitromethane (NM) sensitized with two different amines: Diethylenetriamine (DETA) and Triethylamine (TEA). The critical diameter in glass and polyvinylchloride tubes is found to decrease rapidly as the amount of sensitizer is increased, then increase past a critical amount of sensitizer. Thus the critical diameter reaches a minimum at a critical concentration of sensitizer. It was also found that the critical diameter is lower with DETA than with TEA.

Amines are found to be the most effective performed measurements with up to 2.5% DETA by chemical sensitizing agent for NM with mass in NM.

Clinical Relevance and Summary of Test Principle a. Clinical Relevance The prevalence of disinfection by-products in drinking water supplies has raised concerns about possible adverse health effects from chronic exposure to these potentially carcinogenic compounds. To support studies exploring the relation between exposure to trihalomethanes (THMs), nitromethane (NM: biomarker for halonitromethanes), methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and adverse health effects, an automated analytical method was developed using capillary gas chromatography (GC) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) with selected ion mass detection and isotope-dilution techniques.

  • FIA Technical Regulations for Drag Racing
    FIA DRAG RACING SECTION 1 - JUNIOR DRAGSTER & JUNIOR FUNNY CAR 2021 Specific Regulations for FIA Drag Racing These Technical Regulations provide guidelines and minimum standards for the construction and operation of vehicles used in FIA Drag Racing. It is the responsibility of the participant to be familiar with the contents of these Technical Regulations and to comply with its requirements. It is not the responsibility of the officials to discover all potential rule compliance issues. The responsibility for compliance with these Technical Regulations rests first and foremost with the competitor. Additional safety equipment or safety-enhancing equipment is always permitted and the levels of safety equipment stated in these Technical Regulations are minimum prescribed levels for a particular type of competition and do not prohibit the individual competitor from using additional safety equipment. Competitors are encouraged to investigate the availability of additional safety devices or equipment for their type of competition. In disputed cases, whether an item, device or piece of equipment is safety-enhancing or performance-enhancing will be determined by the FIA Technical Delegate or the FIA Technical Department. Furthermore, as to performance-enhancing equipment, it is the general principle that unless optional performance-enhancing equipment or performance- related modifications are specifically permitted by these Technical Regulations, they are prohibited. Throughout these Technical Regulations, a number of references are made for particular products and equipment to meet certain standards and specifications (i.e. FIA-Standard, SFI Specs, Snell, DOT, etc.). It is important to realize that these products are manufactured to meet certainspecifications, and upon completion, the manufacturer labels the product as meeting that standard or specification.

Gottlieb,* Vadim Kotlyar, and Abraham Nudelman* Department of Chemistry, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan 52900, Israel Received June 27, 1997 In the course of the routine use of NMR as an aid for organic chemistry, a day-to-day problem is the identifica- tion of signals deriving from common contaminants (water, solvents, stabilizers, oils) in less-than-analyti- cally-pure samples. This data may be available in the literature, but the time involved in searching for it may be considerable. Another issue is the concentration dependence of chemical shifts (especially 1H); results obtained two or three decades ago usually refer to much Figure 1.

We followed draft REACH technical guidance documents available during the years 2006•2007 for ES development. The development of ESs included mapping uses and categorizing them, according to operational conditions, into broader scenarios when needed. The exposure data and conditions of use required in the scenarios were gathered from existing measurement reports, new measurements, and through modelling. Preliminary human health and environmental hazard assessment was based on published data or modelling. This project was successful in determining the main Finnish uses of methanol. The mapping of methanol uses in Finland revealed 62 uses, 35 of which were included in the ten exposure scenarios in this project.

  • Development of a High-Density Initiation Mechanism for Supercritical Nitromethane Decomposition
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGH-DENSITY INITIATION MECHANISM FOR SUPERCRITICAL NITROMETHANE DECOMPOSITION A Thesis in Mechanical Engineering by Christopher N. Burke © 2020 Christopher N. Burke Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science August 2020 The thesis of Christopher N. Burke was reviewed and approved by the following: Richard A. Yetter Professor of Mechanical Engineering Thesis Co-Advisor Adrianus C. van Duin Professor of Mechanical Engineering Thesis Co-Advisor Jacqueline A. O’Connor Professor of Mechanical Engineering Karen Thole Professor of Mechanical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Department Head ii Abstract: This thesis outlines the bottom-up development of a high pressure, high- density initiation mechanism for nitromethane decomposition. Using reactive molecular dynamics (ReaxFF), a hydrogen-abstraction initiation mechanism for nitromethane decomposition that occurs at initial supercritical densities of 0.83 grams per cubic centimeter was investigated and a mechanism was constructed as an addendum for existing mechanisms. The reactions in this mechanism were examined and the pathways leading from the new initiation set into existing mechanism are discussed, with ab-initio/DFT level data to support them, as well as a survey of other combustion mechanisms containing analogous reactions. C2 carbon chemistry and soot formation pathways were also included to develop a complete high-pressure mechanism to compare to the experimental results of Derk. C2 chemistry, soot chemistry, and the hydrogen-abstraction initiation mechanism were appended to the baseline mechanism used by Boyer and analyzed in Chemkin as a temporal, ideal gas decomposition. The analysis of these results includes a comprehensive discussion of the observed chemistry and the implications thereof.

One of the main On the other end of the spectrum, a number of forays have features of this system is the level of recyclability, whereby all sol- also been made into the design of microfluidic evaporator vents removed can be easily collected and reused, with reduced units but these have primarily been used as concentrators for – environmental impact. specialised analytical devices.4 6 Despite the creativity of the devices so far developed, there are only a few examples of their Flow chemistry is now recognised as a valuable component of application in multi-step flow synthesis.5,6 Limiting factors in modern synthesis programmes. However, better integration of many of the microfluidic evaporators previously reported these new enabling technologies with existing batch methods include poor chemical compatibility, low flow rates and they will provide the necessary stimulus for a step change in appli- are currently limited to easy solvent transitions from low 1 cations for the future. The appeal of flow chemistry is due to boiling solvents such as dichloromethane (DCM) and MeOH, its ability to achieve improved heat and mass transfer, to extremely high boiling solvents like toluene and dimethyl- reduction of waste, safe containment of hazardous com- formamide (DMF).
