NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN FLAMES
Abstract
In the thermal generation of nuclear magnetic resonance phenomena, such as is found in flames or hot exhausts, energy is lost during the transition from a higher- to a lower-energy nuclear magnetic quantum state. The interaction that takes place is explained in simple theoretical terms, and the effects of resonance broadening by spin-spin interaction and an inhomogeneous magnetic field are considered. The amount of energy lost during the cooling of a hot jet exhaust was calculated using the environmental magnetic field of the earth. On the assumption that the energy was radiated by means of electromagnetic waves, attempts were made to detect this energy loss.
