Organic Compounds in the Exhaust of a J85-5 Turbine Engine

Abstract

Information related to exhaust hydrocarbons associated with a J85-5 turbine engine is presented. A comparison of two sampling techniques (cryogenic trapping and sorption tube) is discussed. The collected samples were analyzed by coupled gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer-data system. The number of compounds identified in the samples was 231, with equivalent results from the two sampling techniques. Less than half of the compounds identified were aromatic and oxygenated species.
