  • Title: Apparatus for studies of high-temperature chemical reactions in single particle systems.
    Author: Andrzejak TA, Shafirovich E, Taylor DG, Varma A.
    Journal: Rev Sci Instrum; 2007 Aug; 78(8):085102. PubMed ID: 17764350.
    Abstract:
    We report a compact microgravity flight apparatus for characterization of high-temperature chemical reactions in single particle systems. The apparatus employs an infrared CO(2) laser to ignite 1-5 mm samples while video images, thermocouple measurements, laser on/off status, and XYZ accelerometer signals are synchronously recorded. Different operating modes permit preignition quenching, ignition, and combustion experiments to be performed. The apparatus was successfully utilized during microgravity experiments on board NASA research aircraft.
