The CARS apparatus at OSU was modified to permit studies in the 0-500 cm⁻¹ spectral region. The new low frequency capabilities were then used to study molecular clusters formed in free expansion jets of carbon dioxide. A strong cluster band was observed at 73 cm⁻¹, with a weaker shoulder at...
A systematic study of the fouling characteristics of organic fluids was conducted in an annular test section. The study consisted of four main parts. First, the effect of key factors such as surface temperature, velocity, concentration, and oxygen on fouling from the system styrene-heptane-polystyrene was investigated. While surface temperature increased...
