(DURIP-FY20) ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS FOR DETONATION WAVES IN SMALL TUBES AND NANO CARBON FORMATION AT HIGH PRESSURES
Abstract
This proposal seeks support for developing an advanced diagnostic system at the Stanford Nano Energy Laboratory with two inter-related components. The first component enables our studies into the mechanism of near-limit detonation wave propagation in small channels and tubes. The second component examines the interactions and mechanisms of the binding of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules and small graphene that are relevant to high pressure coking and soot formation. Each component leverages and combines experiments and modeling efforts currently supported by AFOSR (in two existing projects) with new diagnostic capabilities to make advances that are currently not possible. The system to be acquired is aimed at achieve advances in fundamental understanding that will influence the design of propulsion systems from detonation and hypersonic engines.
