Abstract. In this paper emission factors (EFs) for particulate matter (PM) and some sub-components as well gaseous substances were investigated in two onboard measurement campaigns. Emissions from 4-stroke main engines measured under stable-load conditions. The impact of varying engine load on the emissions was one engines, fuel quality other, where heavy oil (HFO) with sulphur content 1% 0.5% marine gas (MGO) 0.1% used. Furthermore, auxiliary studied. EFs PM mass range 0.3 to 2.7 g kg−1...
The interaction of water with laboratory soots possessing a range properties relevant for atmospheric studies is examined by two complementary methods: gravimetrical measurement uptake coupled chemical composition and porosity analysis HTDMA (humidified tandem differential mobility analyzer) inference accompanied separate TEM (transmission electron microscopy) single particles. first method clarifies the mechanism bulk soot allows classification respect to its hygroscopicity. second...
Quantification of atmospheric processes including the water uptake by soot particles various origin, emitted from different sources, requires identification hydrophobic and hydrophilic soot. Water measurements are performed on well-characterized laboratory soots available for studies. Comparative analysis adsorption isotherms compositions allows us to suggest a concept quantification. Systematic demonstrates two mechanisms water/soot interaction, namely, bulk dissolution into...
A major aspect of monitoring the atmosphere is quantification man-made pollution and their interactions with environment. Key physico-chemical characteristics diesel exhaust particulates sea-going ship emissions are presented respect to morphology, microstructure, chemical composition. Heavy fuel oil (HFO)-derived particles exhibit extremely complex chemistry. They demonstrate three distinct morphological structures different composition, namely soot, char mineral/ash. The composition...
We take full advantage of microfluidic valves to achieve a fully automatable gradient generator device, providing flow-free environments, accurate time-zero control, and long-term stability.
Permeable agarose barriers allow flow-free gradient generation, applicable to adherent and non-adherent (swimming) cells, as well co-culture experiments.
The spontaneous interaction between sulfuric acid and carbon nanotubes is studied using Raman spectroscopy. We are able to determine the charge transfer without any additional parameter spectral signature of inner outer walls double-wall nanotubes. While for wall both lattice contraction nonadiabatic effects contribute phonon shift, only contributes nanotube. For nanotube, we separate these two contributions $G$-band shift as a function transfer. have carried out density functional theory...
The occurrence of concentration and temperature gradients in saline microdroplets evaporating directly air makes them unsuitable for nucleation studies where homogeneous composition is required. This can be addressed by immersing the droplet oil under regulated humidity reducing volume to picoliter range. However, evaporation dynamics such a system not well understood. In this work, we present models applicable arrays sessile with dissolved solute submerged thin layer oil. Our model accounts...
Abstract The influence of twin screw extruder dispersion multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the structural, electrical, and rheological properties in poly(ether ether ketone) is studied. Intermediate rotational speeds (200 rpm) co‐rotating screws yield higher electrical conductivity dynamic shear modulus than for lower or when using 3 wt % multiwall CNTs. These improved at intermediate are correlated with state polymer matrix by transmission electron microscopy multispectral Raman...
A method for measuring the spatial profiles of second-order non-linear susceptibility χ(2)(z) in bulk periodically poled crystals and other structures was developed.

Although interference has been known to occur within proximity surfaces more...
The study of the formation condensation trails and cirrus clouds on aircraft emitted soot particles is important because its possible effects climate. In present work we studied freezing water engine combustor (AEC) under conditions pressure temperature similar to upper troposphere. microstructure AEC was found be heterogeneous containing both primary metallic impurities (Fe, Cu, Al). We also observed various surface functional groups such as oxygen-containing groups, including sulfate ions,...
