Objective
Experienced researchers are required with a good background in spectroscopic techniques to characterise the formation of transient species in the gas -phase produced during the burning process either in our shock tube or our rapid compression machine. In house we have competence in the experimental techniques and in the chemical kinetic modelling and simulation of experiments. Together we would like to apply this integrated knowledge into the design and execution of experiments using our newly built shock tube and recently purchased, intensified charge-coupled detector + spectrograph which might shed light on the appearance of the emission spectra characteristic of potassium atoms (an impurity present in extremely low background concentration) and how their formation correlates with the formation of other expected species, such as C2, OH, etc. produced during pyrolytic or oxidative reactions of organic compounds some of which are potential ultra-clean, low molecular weight, diesel fuels such as dimethoxymethane. Thus emission from K atoms may serve as a useful marker of the combustion chemistry. Additional experiments will explore the fine structure of the emission bands from excited electronic states of OH to determine the temperature of the shock wave and the temperature evolution with time of the reacting mixture. Also the design &operation of an TN-VIS absorption CCD spectrograph and a high-speed IR detector in conjunction with the iCCD emission spectrometer.
