Abstract. Uptake coefficients for HO2 radicals onto Arizona test dust (ATD) aerosols were measured at room temperature and atmospheric pressure using an aerosol flow tube and the sensitive fluorescence assay by gas expansion (FAGE) technique, enabling HO2 concentrations in the range 3–10 × 108 molecule cm−3 to be investigated. The uptake coefficients were measured as 0.031 ± 0.008 and 0.018 ± 0.006 for the lower and higher HO2 concentrations, respectively, over a range of relative humidities (5–76%). A time dependence for the HO2 uptake onto the ATD aerosols was observed, with larger uptake coefficients observed at shorter reaction times. The combination of time and HO2 concentration dependencies suggest either the partial saturation of the dust surface or that a chemical component of the dust is partially consumed whilst the aerosols are exposed to HO2. A constrained box model is used to show that HO2 uptake to dust surfaces may be an important loss pathway of HO2 in the atmosphere.

SummaryFassaitic diopside containing 22–23 wt% Al2O3 (approximately 41–43% calcium Tschermak's molecule, CaAl2SiO6) and melilite containing 69–43% gehlenite crystallized from a blast-furnace slag at atmospheric pressure between about 1450°C and 1250°C. The occurrence is of petrological interest because the association of pyroxene with gehlenite-rich melilite has not been recorded from experimental studies in the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2, and because of the similarity of the compositions of both minerals to pyroxene and melilite in the Ca-Al-rich inclusions of the Allende meteorite.

This article reports on experimental studies of subnanosecond electron beams formed in air under atmospheric pressure. An electron beam with an amplitude of ∼170 A with a duration at FWHM of ∼0.3 ns has been obtained. Based on beam temporal characteristics and discharge spatial characteristics, the critical fields were supposed to be reached at plasma approach to anode. Simultaneously, the sharp high-energy pulse of e-beam current is generated. Of critical importance is the cathode type and occurrence on the cathode of plasma protrusions. It is shown that to get maximum amplitude of the electron beam in the gas diode, the discharge in the gas diode should be volumetric.

AbstractThe results of experimental studies of combustion of propane–air gaseous mixture when it was ignited by a microwave discharge have been described. The mixture with different propane content fills a sealed radio-transparent tube placed along the axis of a focused linearly polarized quasi-optical microwave beam at atmospheric pressure. Multi-point ignition of the mixture is carried out near one end of the tube by a pulsed microwave discharge with a surface-developed streamer structure. The growth of gas pressure in the tube as propane burned was recorded in the experiments. The microwave pulse energy being invested in high-temperature discharge plasma has been estimated in them. The minimum percentage of propane in the mixture at which the microwave discharge ignites it has been determined in experiments. The time dependence of the pressure increase in the tube as the propane burns determines the combustion process dynamics.
