Infrared Emission from Gas-Aerosol Reactions

Abstract

The present investigation has been designed to produce infrared emission by means of an exothermic reaction between a liquid aerosol and a gas. A number of gas-aerosol systems employing acid-base reactions have been examined and significant levels of radiation observed from the reactions of chlorosulfuric acid aerosol with gaseous amonia and water. Other systems which were screened including sulfuric acid-ammonia, octanoic acid-ammonia, and octylamine-hydrogen chloride, have produced detectable levels of radiation. Some methods for the investigation of emission from the gas-aerosol reactions have been explored, and the results of these studies utilizing a chlorosulfonic acid aerosol system are presented.
