Laser-induced breakdown is used for quantitative gas property measurements (gas density and ethylene fuel concentration) in a cavity flameholder in a supersonic crossflow. A plasma is produced by a focused laser beam (Nd:YAG, 532 nm) in the cavity to measure gas properties at the location of the plasma and to ignite cavity flames. Plasma energy (PE), defined by the laser pulse energy absorbed/s...

Increasingly restrictive emission regulations and renewed focus on energy efficiency drive the current researches to find alternative fuels and their related better combustion strategies. In this regard, dual fuel engines, in which natural gas fuel is used as a main fuel and diesel fuel is employed as a pilot fuel, have received considerable attention. However, poor fuel utilization efficiencie...

tellurium nanostructures have been prepared by physical vapor deposition method in a tube furnace. the experiments were carried out under argon gas flow at a pressure of 1 mbar. tellurium powder was evaporated by heating at 350°c and 430°c and was condensed on substrates at 110–250°c, in the downstream of argon gas flow. the products were characterized by field emission scanning electron micros...

Sanitary landfill is the common strategy for municipal solid waste management in developing countries. Anaerobic decomposition of disposed wastes in landfill under favorable conditions will lead to the landfill gas (LFG) emissions, considering as emerging air pollutants. The emission of greenhouse gases, including methane, resulting from municipal solid waste disposal and treatment processes ar...

Using long slit emission-line spectra we detect a fast outflow of ionized gas, with velocities up to 1000 km s −1 , in the nearby powerful radio galaxy 3C 293 (z = 0.045). The fast outflow is located about 1 kpc east of the nucleus, in a region of enhanced radio emission due to the presence of a distorted radio jet. We present results that indicate that this fast outflow is caused by a jet-ISM ...

The prediction model of gas emission is established based on partial correlation analysis and support vector regression (SVR) in order to accurately predict gas emission of working face under the condition of small samples. Not only are the problems of small samples and nonlinear prediction effectively resolved by applying SVR, but also the main control factors of gas emission are selected by a...

Nonthermal radio emission in the galactic center reveals a number of vertical structures across the galactic plane, which are attributed to poloidal magnetic field and/or energetic outflow. Thermal radio emission comprises star forming regions distributed in a thin, dense thermal gas disk. The thermal region is associated with dense molecular gas disk, in which the majority of gas is concentrat...

We analysed the Spitzer maps of Stephan’s Quintet in order to investigate the nature of the dust emission associated with the X-ray emitting regions of the large scale intergalactic shock and of the group halo. This emission can in principle be powered by dust-gas particle collisions, thus providing efficient cooling of the hot gas. However the results of our analysis suggest that the dust emis...

The gas discharge and photo-luminance properties of a planar lighting source featuring highly uniform light emission and mercury-free design were studied. The current density-voltage characteristics and the associated gas discharge of the devices operating with the values of the ratio of electric field to gas pressure (E/p) between 4.3 kV/Torr-cm and 35.7 kV/Torr-cm indicate that the width of t...

We present a Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) map of H2 emission from the nearby galaxy NGC 4258 (Messier 106). The H2 emission comes from 9.4 ± 0.4 × 10 M⊙ of warm molecular hydrogen heated to 240-1040 K in the inner anomalous arms, a signature of jet interaction with the galaxy disk. The spectrum is that of a molecular hydrogen emission galaxy (MOHEG), with a large ratio of H2 over 7.7μm P...
