Creator:

Pattee, Heidi Ann

Abstract:

When trace quantities of an alkali element are added to a flame, its optical and electrical properties change significantly. Addition of alkali seed to both premixed and diffusion flames has been used in the development of two new techniques, one for flame temperature measurement and the other for enhanced mixing....
