An Engine and Shock Tube Study in Combustion Soot Measurement

Soot phenomena in combustion have been an interesting topic in combustion research for a long time. Study of soot includes identifying reaction pathways leading to soot and developing innovative techniques and apparatus to measure soot. In this research, two separate experiments are conducted to explore possible new ways to study soot formation mechanisms in combustion. The first experiment employs a miniature engine to prove the feasibility of coupling high pressure reactors with synchrotron sourced photoionization mass spectrometry and probing species concentration in the combustion chamber and the exhaust. The second experiment demonstrates the feasibility of measuring extremely low level scattering signals by employing a high repetition rate shock tube and sensitive optical components to quantitatively measure the number density and size distribution of soot generated in the shock tube. Technical challenges and solutions of conducting the two experiments will be presented in details. Results of the two experiments will be discussed and potential improvements in the future will be given regarding the results of the currents experiments.Master of Science in EngineeringMechanical Engineering, College of Engineering and Computer ScienceUniversity of Michigan-Dearbornhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/136066/1/An Engine and Shock Tube Study in Combustion Soot Measurement.pdfDescription of An Engine and Shock Tube Study in Combustion Soot Measurement.pdf : Master of Science in Engineering Thesi

Curious & curiouser

Curious & Curiouser is a dual-part project where listening happens in two different “spaces”: the choral composition and in an artist book. Each uses as source material haiku that the artist discovered on her walks through the industrial waterfront area of East Vancouver; the haiku are engraved on red dog tags and nailed to the wooden power poles she encountered along her path. The haiku texts are translated into two spatial forms that make visible the patterns of order in music, braiding visuality with aurality. The choral suite is a kaleidoscopic word painting—a sound sculpture in five movements—staging the sight of sound through choreographic gesture, movement and theatre; a poetry of motion. Composed as a postlude to the suite, the artist book is a part-score for performing listening, the graphic scores and listening events map sound out of sight—a question of how we hear what we see
