Abstract: Time-resolved laser-induced incandescence is an emerging diagnostic for characterizing primary particle size distributions within soot-laden aerosols. This measurement requires an accurate model of ...

Abstract: This paper presents an optimization algorithm for designing linear concentrating solar collectors using stochastic programming. A Monte Carlo technique is used to quantify the performance of the ...

Abstract: Accurate particle sizing through time-resolved laser-induced incandescence (TR-LII) requires knowledge of the thermal accommodation coefficient, but the underlying physics of this parameter is poorly ...

Abstract: Laser-induced incandescence (LII) measurements carried out in aerosols having a large particle volume fraction must be corrected to account for extinction between the energized aerosol particles ...
