NAVAIR-Sponsored Aerosol Research at NAVWPNSUPPCEN, Crane - FY 79

Abstract

This report discusses aerosol infrared extinction measurements done by Naval Weapons Support Center (NAVWPNSUPPCEN) Crane for the Naval Air Systems Command (AIR-310C) during FY 79. The purpose is to form the technological basis for development of new infrared screening aerosols with some emphasis on extinction at 10.6 micrometers. Subjects covered include: (1) the completion and checkout of an aerosol dry powder disseminator for laboratory use; (2) 10.6 micrometer transmittance measurements on boron carbide (B4C) powder; (3) similar measurements on silicon carbide (SiC) powder; (4) attempts to prepare large quantities of <1 micrometer diameter olivine powder; (5) initial attempts to make olivine smoke by pyrotechnic means; and (6) progress toward modification and renovation of an existing cloud chamber to make a large aerosol chamber.
