U.S.-Sweden Cooperative Research: In-Situ Measurement of Aerosol Particles

该奖项将支持合作研究， 马克·鲁德博士，伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校， Hans Christen Hansson博士，隆德理工学院， 瑞典. 这项研究的主要目的是 该项目旨在开发一种可用于 同时测量吸湿、化学和热 现场条件下气溶胶粒子的特性 并且具有短时间响应。 关于气溶胶的信息 颗粒吸湿性、组成和热挥发性 将通过该仪器获得作为粒子的函数 尺寸 鲁德教授和汉森教授将利用他们的 开发文书组成部分的个人专门知识 然后他们会整合各个组件， 组装完整的气溶胶采样系统。 没有仪器可以同时研究 作为函数的气溶胶的吸湿和热性质 颗粒大小。 这种仪器可以用来执行 大气化学、大气物理和空气污染 控制技术相关实验。

This award will support collaborative research between Dr. Mark Rood, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Dr. Hans Christen Hansson, Lund Institute of Technology, Sweden. The primary objective for this proposed research project is to develop an instrument that can be used to measure simultaneously the hygroscopic, chemical, and thermal characteristics of aerosol particles under in-situ conditions and with a short time response. Information about the aerosol particles hygroscopicity, composition, and thermal volatility will be obtained by this instrument as a function of particle size. Professors Rood and Hansson will utilize their individual expertise to develop components of the instrument and then they will integrate the individual components to assemble a complete aerosol sampling system. No instrument exists that can simultaneously study the hygroscopic and thermal properties of an aerosol as a function of particle size. Such instrument can be used to perform atmospheric chemistry, atmospheric physics, and air pollution control technology related experiments.
