U. S. Germany Cooperative Research: Collaborative Experimental Investigation of Vapor Phase Nucleation

0089897 Wyslouzil该奖项支持芭芭拉Wyslouzil和伍斯特理工学院的学生在合作莱因哈德Strey的生物系在科隆，德国大学。 该项目将侧重于研究均相汽液成核，这在许多大气和工业过程中起着重要作用。 通过与德国小组的合作，将对不同的实验方法进行比较--在伍斯特，将使用超音速喷嘴装置;在科隆，将使用成核脉冲室;在国家标准与技术研究所，将使用小角度中子散射室。 该研究的结果将刺激进一步的理论发展，并通过在广泛的大气条件下提供准确的成核率测量来推进整个成核研究领域。 强调交流初级研究人员，以增加他们的培训的国际层面，并使他们能够建立国际联系，在他们的职业生涯早期。

0089897WyslouzilThis award supports Barbara Wyslouzil and students from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in a collaboration Reinhard Strey of the Department of Biology at the University of Cologne, Germany. The project will focus on investigating homogeneous vapor-to-liquid nucleation, which plays an important role in many atmospheric and industrial processes. Through cooperation with the German group, different methods experimental methods will be compared-in Worcester, a supersonic nozzle apparatus will be used; in Cologne, a nucleation pulse chamber; and at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a small-angle neutron scattering chamber. The results of the research will spur further theoretical development and advance the entire field of nucleation research by providing accurate measurements of nucleation rates over a wide range of atmospheric conditions. Exchange of junior researchers is emphasized to add an international dimension to their training and to allow them to establish international connections early in their careers.
