Measurements have been made of the combustion characteristics of an air blast kerosene spray flame and of droplet sizes within the spray boundary of isothermal sprays. Specific techniques were used to measure velocity, temperature, concentration, and droplet size. Velocities measured by laser anemometer in spray flames in some areas are 400% higher than those in isothermal sprays. Temperature profiles are similar to those of gaseous diffusion flames. Gas analyses indicate the formation of intermediate reactants, e.g., CO and Hg, in the cracking process. Rosin-Rammler mean size and size distribution of droplets in isothermal sprays are related to atomizer efficiency and subsequent secondary atomizer/vaporization effects. 

Burning of the fuel is a stepwise degradation leading to many intermediate products and formation of radicals. Some of these are of interest because of their ability to interact with metallic atoms, notably atomic oxygen and the OH radical. If the available oxygen equals the theoretical amount necessary to bum the fuel completely, such a flame is called stoichiometric. Otherwise, depending on the amount of fuel, we speak of a fuel-rich or a lean flame. Where fuel and metallic atoms compete for O and OH radicals, the formation of metal oxides can be kept down by making the flame fuel-rich. Fassel et al. (F2, F3) have recently shown that satisfactory atomic vapor concentrations can be produced in fuel rich flames with a a iety of metals particularly prone to form refractory oxides in stoichiometric flames. 

When an atomic vapor is exposed lo a strong niagnelic held (- 10 kG). a splitting of electronic energy levels of the atoms lakes place that leads to formation of several absorption lines for each electronic transition. Hiese lines are separated from one another by about 0.01 nm. wilh the sum of the absorbances for the lines being exactly equal lo that of the original line from which they... 

For AAS, the analyte must be present as an atomic vapor, i.e., an atomizer is required. Both flames and furnaces are used, and the corresponding methodologies are known as flame AAS and graphite furnace AAS. Special methods of atomization are based on volatile compound formation, as with the hydride technique (Sections 21.4.3 and 21.5.5). AAS is generally used for the analysis of... 

Ion implantation (qv) has a large (10 K/s) effective quench rate (64). This surface treatment technique allows a wide variety of atomic species to be introduced into the surface. Sputtering and evaporation methods are other very slow approaches to making amorphous films, atom by atom. The processes involve deposition of a vapor onto a cold substrate. The buildup rate (20 p.m/h) is also sensitive to deposition conditions, including the presence of impurity atoms which can faciUtate the formation of an amorphous stmcture. An approach used for metal—metalloid amorphous alloys is chemical deposition and electro deposition. 

Molecular Nature of Steam. The molecular stmcture of steam is not as weU known as that of ice or water. During the water—steam phase change, rotation of molecules and vibration of atoms within the water molecules do not change considerably, but translation movement increases, accounting for the volume increase when water is evaporated at subcritical pressures. There are indications that even in the steam phase some H2O molecules are associated in small clusters of two or more molecules (4). Values for the dimerization enthalpy and entropy of water have been deterrnined from measurements of the pressure dependence of the thermal conductivity of water vapor at 358—386 K (85—112°C) and 13.3—133.3 kPa (100—1000 torr). These measurements yield the estimated upper limits of equiUbrium constants, for cluster formation in steam, where n is the number of molecules in a cluster. 

Introduction of a 3-bromosubstituent onto thiophene is accompHshed by initial tribromination, followed by reduction of the a-bromines by treatment with zinc/acetic acid, thereby utilizing only one of three bromines introduced. The so-called halogen dance sequence of reactions, whereby bromothiophenes are treated with base, causing proton abstraction and rearrangement of bromine to the produce the most-stable anion, has also been used to introduce a bromine atom at position 3. The formation of 3-bromotbiopbene [872-31-1] from this sequence of reactions (17) is an efficient use of bromine. Vapor-phase techniques have also been proposed to achieve this halogen migration (18), but with less specificity. Table 3 summarizes properties of some brominated thiophenes. 

Combustion. The primary reaction carried out in the gas turbine combustion chamber is oxidation of a fuel to release its heat content at constant pressure. Atomized fuel mixed with enough air to form a close-to-stoichiometric mixture is continuously fed into a primary zone. There its heat of formation is released at flame temperatures deterruined by the pressure. The heat content of the fuel is therefore a primary measure of the attainable efficiency of the overall system in terms of fuel consumed per unit of work output. Table 6 fists the net heat content of a number of typical gas turbine fuels. Net rather than gross heat content is a more significant measure because heat of vaporization of the water formed in combustion cannot be recovered in aircraft exhaust. The most desirable gas turbine fuels for use in aircraft, after hydrogen, are hydrocarbons. Fuels that are liquid at normal atmospheric pressure and temperature are the most practical and widely used aircraft fuels kerosene, with a distillation range from 150 to 300 °C, is the best compromise to combine maximum mass —heat content with other desirable properties. For ground turbines, a wide variety of gaseous and heavy fuels are acceptable.
