Laser Ignition System and Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC)

这项研究的主要目标是提供一个更好的 对自持燃烧过程的理解 通过研究温度曲线的反应 在燃烧区。 燃烧过程的性质 规定了燃烧区的宽度、加热速率 生成，以及该过程的燃烧温度。 用该设备赠款购买的CO2激光器将 允许更仔细地控制点火过程。 这方面大多数研究的潜在动机 领域是潜在的使用燃烧合成新的或 上级材料。 这个过程必须得到很好的理解， 其参数明确划定，以便其应用 为了适应新的趋势，在一个大的 规模特别定制的材料。

The broad objective of this research is to provide a better understanding of the combustion process in self-sustaining reactions through investigations of the temperature profiles in the combustion zone. The nature of the combustion process dictates the width of the combustion zone, rate of heat generation, and the combustion temperature of the process. The CO2 laser to be purchased with this equipment grant will allow the ignition process to be more carefully controlled. The underlying motivation for most of the research in this field is the potential use of combustion to synthesize new or superior materials. The process must be well understood and its parameters clearly delineated in order for its application to be compatible with the new trends to produce on a large scale specially tailored materials.
