5 McKenna Flat Flame Burner Has been used as a standard calibration source and experimental platform for combustion research for more than 25 years Commonly applied calibration burner for laser diagnostic applications It produces a quasi-1d flat flame, where temperature and species concentrations vary only with height-above-the-burner (chemical residence time); straightforward to model and is a valuable testbed to assess chemical kinetic mechanisms.

13 Research Task Investigation of Low-Temperature Reaction Pathways Under Plasma-Assisted Combustion Conditions: Role of HO 2 Suzanne M. Lanier, Walter R. Lempert, Jeffrey A. Sutton

14 Motivation for HO 2 Measurements HO 2 is an important radical in hydrogen and hydrocarbon (low-temperature) combustion chemistry Borrowing from Glassman [1], we examine typical kinetics in H 2 -O 2 systems Initiation H M H H M 2 H2 O2 HO2 H Branching H O O OH 2 O H2 H OH H2 OH H2O H O H2O OH OH High Temperatures Low Temperatures Termination H H M H 2 M O O M O2 M H O M OH M H OH M H2O M H O M HO M 2 2 What happens as O 2 (a 1 Δ) or O 2 (X,v) is loaded? Does this shift the ratio of the reactions so that there is an effective lowtemperature OH formation pathway? classic boundary between high and low temperature chemistry Consider that non-equilibrium plasmas create large radical pools, metastable electronic states, and vibrationally-excited molecules H O a D O OH ( 1 ) 2 g H O ( X,v) O OH 2 1 Glassman, Combustion, 2 nd Ed., 1987 (R1) (R2) (R3) (R4)

15 Motivation for HO 2 Measurements HO 2 is an important radical in hydrogen and hydrocarbon (low-temperature) combustion chemistry In addition, OSU H 2 -air plasma model indicates that HO2 O O2 OH Low Temperatures HO2 H H2O O HO2 H OH OH Intermediate Temperatures become important at low and intermediate temperatures, increasing fuel oxidation by opening additional chain-branching pathways Due to an increase in H and O created by plasma discharge?

16 HO 2 Diagnostic Cavity Ringdown Absorption Spectroscopy Thiebaud et al. (27) HO 2 has been detected by UV absorption in the range nm. Structureless due to the predissociative B-X transition. Other species such as H 2 O 2, H 2 O, C x H y have absorption features in this region. Quantitative measurements are difficult! The 1.5 mm region corresponds to absorption due to the H-OO stretching overtone, 2ν 1, more specifically the (2,,)-(,,) lines, in the ground electronic state (X 2 A ) somewhat isolated from OH, H 2 O, C x H y We will develop cavity ringdown absorption spectroscopy for HO 2 at 1.5 mm

17 Near-IR CRDS Line We will spacing use an < injectionseeded OPO to 1 GHz Doppler generate broadening narrowband is MHz nm light at 3K A Difference narrowband Frequency source at 1.5 Mixing mm (DFM) is preferred of 624 for nm quantitative and 164 nm output will measurements generate narrowband Dye 15 laser nm output output > 823 nm 1GHz 624 nm 164 nm 624 nm

21 Research Tasks Development of a new, low-pressure, plasma-enhanced flame facility for directly monitoring the effects of non-equilibrium, volumetric plasmas on combustion chemistry Investigation of plasma enhancement in moderate- and high-temperature regimes by monitoring H, O, OH, (and C x H y ) distributions Assessment of current kinetic (w/plasma) modeling capabilities under moderate- and high-temperature conditions in a well-defined geometry Development of a diagnostic for quantitative HO 2 measurements under lowand moderate-temperature plasma-enhanced oxidation conditions Examination of the effects of plasma-generated radical pools and metastable electronic states (e.g., O 2 (a 1 D g ) or O 2 (X,v)) on opening new reaction pathways at low temperatures and pressures.
