The PI will use his broad laboratory experience to measure the                  time history of chemical species during a combustion event.                     Advanced diagnostics (UV Raman, laser induced fluorescence) will                yield such information on such major species as H2,N2,O2, and H2O               for a variety of steady flames.  Similar information on nitric                  oxides (NO, NO2) will help elucidate nitric oxide formation in                  turbulent flows.  Finally unsteady phenomena will be studied with               the help of a unique free electron laser, which possesses high                  energy (100 mJ per pulse) and repetition rate (1MHz).                                                                                                           There is a lot of current interest in resolving the chemical                    kinetics of flames for very high speed or very unsteady                         conditions (hypersonic propulsion, pulse combustors, turbulent                  structors).  The number of fuels of interest is also increasing,                as economics makes some new compounds more competitive (or some                 traditional ones less so).  All these needs will be well served                 by the PI's experience.  He will make valuable and accurate                     contributions to the data base.
