Capacitive gas-phase detection in liquid nitrogen

The main and upper stages of heavy lift launchers for space applications are often fuelled by cryogenic liquids. In order to enable the re-ignition of a cryogenic upper stage for orbital changes, it is crucial to study the behaviour of these fluids in microgravity. As gaseous bubbles entering the fuel lines of the engine can cause the destruction of the engine, these bubbles are a risk for the ...

Indoor Nitrogen Oxides

Nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are gases produced by hightemperature combustion through reactions between nitrogen and oxygen. Both nitrogen in fuel and nitrogen in the air can participate in the reactions. Formation of NO can be followed by further oxidation into NO2 in the atmosphere. NO2 is the most toxic of the nitrogen oxides (grouped generically as NOx) and it is very i...

Gas-phase reduction of oxides of nitrogen with CO catalyzed by atomic transition-metal cations.

important reactions occurring in automotive catalytic converters where both reactants are undesirable pollutants. Base-metal oxides, mixed metal-oxide compounds such as perovskites, supported metal catalysts, metal zeolites, and alloys have all been investigated as heterogeneous catalysts for this reaction, which does not occur directly in the gas phase at room temperature to any measurable ext...

A case study of ozone production, nitrogen oxides, and the radical budget in Mexico City

Observations at a mountain-top site within the Mexico City basin are used to characterize ozone production and destruction, nitrogen oxide speciation and chemistry, and the radical budget, with an emphasis on a stagnant air mass observed on one afternoon. The observations compare well with the results of recent photochemical models. An ozone production rate of ∼50 ppbv/h was observed in a stagn...
