Abstract BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene) are simple aromatics that play
a major role in soot formation in combustion systems. They are widely used as aromatic …

We present chemical kinetics and environmental monitoring applications in the long-
wavelength mid-infrared (LW-MIR) region using a new diagnostic that exploits a widely …

Chemical kinetic experiments of fuel oxidation/pyrolysis are quite complicated with a
multitude of species being formed and consumed. It is desirable to have a diagnostic …

Accurate inline measurement of water-cut (WC) in crude-oil production is essential for
effective well and reservoir management. Existing water-cut meters typically require well …

Natural gas (NG) is a promising alternative to diesel for sustainable transport, potentially
reducing GHG and air quality emissions significantly. However, the GHG benefits hinge on …

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is the primary cyanide species in combustion processes and plays
a key role in the formation of NO x in the combustion of fossil fuels, nitrogen-containing …

We report an approach for high-resolution spectroscopy using a widely tunable laser
emitting in the molecular fingerprint region. The laser is based on difference-frequency …

In the context of diminishing fossil fuel resources and a global shift towards more
sustainable energy sources, furan-based biofuels have emerged as a promising alternative …

We describe the properties of a continuous-wave room-temperature quantum cascade laser
operating at the long wavelength of 17$\mu $ m. Long wavelength mid-infrared quantum …

This work presents measurements of temperature-dependent absorption spectra and
thermal decomposition rates of propyl ethers, specifically di-n-propyl ether (DnPE) and …
