This work presents a methodology for using spectroscopic models to fit absorption-spectrum
measurements made by a quantum-cascade-laser-based dual-comb spectrometer (QCL …

Ethane pyrolysis chemistry plays a critical role in the combustion behavior of natural gas and
gives insight into the decomposition patterns of larger alkanes. In this work, ethane pyrolysis …

Iso-dodecane is an important component in developing surrogate fuel mixtures for
conventional and alternative jet fuels. Despite some progress in recent years, there is still a …

Developing chemical kinetic models for residual oil pyrolysis, gasification, and combustion is
very challenging due to the large number of components and molecular complexity. This …

With growing interest in sustainable civil supersonic and hypersonic aviation, there is a need
to model the combustion of alternative, sustainable jet fuels. This work presents numerical …

The pyrolysis of propane plays an important role in determining the combustion properties of
natural gas mixtures and offers insight into the cracking patterns of larger fuels. This work …

The speciation of jet-fuel pyrolysis plays an important role in the development of predictive
models for jet-fuel combustion. In this work, a multi-wavelength speciation technique was …

We report a preliminary investigation of ion bombardment (IB) effects on interband cascade
laser (ICL) properties. Under some conditions, IB almost completely suppresses the vertical …
