Raman spectroscopy used to analyze fuel-air ratios in an engine.
systems with beams are distributed to 14 individual laboratories. Each laboratory is served by a minicomputer which is connected to a central data system. In addition to bench-top flame studies, the facility houses several major combustion experiment labs, including five optically ported research engines, a computer-controlled combustion bomb, and low-pressure flame, coal flame, and turbulent flame laboratories. These studies could lead to the design of heat engines and energy systems that burn fuel more efficiently while creating less pollution.
