The Thermal Characteristics of Combustion Waves: Investigation of Field-Assisted Combustion Processes

提出了一种现场助燃的研究方法。计划中的研究将集中在电磁场在自我维持反应机制中的作用。初步观察表明，施加电场显著改变了燃烧过程的动力学以及燃烧产物的性质。这项研究的目的是为将场作为燃烧合成中的工艺参数提供基础。拟议的办法将侧重于使用热分析和材料分析来确定外地的作用。其中包括使用Boddington-Laye方法进行温度分布分析。预期结果将根据燃烧波反应的热或化学贡献来确定场效应的性质。我们将研究电场和磁场的影响。根据NSF和FSU科学院之间已建立的谅解备忘录，拟议的工作代表着与FSU科学家已经建立的合作安排的继续。FSU的参与者将包括俄罗斯结构宏观动力学研究所(RISM)的Shteinberg教授、RISM的马克西莫夫教授和Tavadze Inst的Gedevanishili博士。佐治亚州科学院冶金学院。研究的美国部分将在UCD进行，俄罗斯部分将在RISM位于切尔诺戈洛夫卡的主要设施的托木斯克分公司和塔瓦泽冶金研究所进行。一项协调的研究计划将在美国和FSU进行，最初针对相同的燃烧系统，随后的调查将根据最初的结果采取不同的重点。预计拟议的研究将对燃烧合成的基础和应用方面产生影响。

An investigation of field-assisted combustion is proposed. The planned research will focus on the role of electromagnetic fields in the mechanism of self-sustaining reactions. Preliminary observations have demonstrated that the imposition of electric fields alters markedly the kinetics of the process as well as the nature of the products of combustion. The goal of the study is to provide a basis for the inclusion of a field as a processing parameter in combustion synthesis. The proposed approach will focus on the use of thermal as well as material analyses to ascertain the role of the field. These include the use of the Boddington-Laye method temperature profile analysis. Anticipated results will determine the nature of the field effect in terms of thermal or chemical contributions to the combustion wave reaction. Both electric and magnetic field effects will be investigated. The proposed work represents a continuation of the already established collaborative arrangement with FSU scientists in accordance with the established Memorandum of Understanding between NSF and the FSU Academy of Sciences. Participants from the FSU will include Professor Shteinberg from the Russian Institute (RISM) of Structural Macro-kinetics, Professor Maximov (RISM), and Dr. Gedevanishili from the Tavadze Inst. of Metallurgy of the Georgia Academy of Science. The U.S. portion of the research will be carried out at UCD and the Russian portion conducted at the Tomsk Branch of RISM at the main facility in Chernogolovka, and at the Tavadze Institute if Metallurgy. A coordinated research plan will be conducted in the US and FSU initially on the same combustion systems and subsequent investigations will assume a different emphasis depending on the initial results. It is anticipated that the proposed research will impact both fundamental and applied aspects of combustion synthesis.
