Quantitative Mid-Infrared Spectra Of Allene And Propyne From Room To High Temperatures, Et. Es-Sebbar, A. Jolly, Y. Benilan, A. Farooq
Dr. Et-touhami Es-sebbar
Allene (a-C3H4; CH2CCH2) and propyne (p-C3H4; CH3C2H) have attracted much interest because of their relevance to the photochemistry in astrophysical environments as well as in combustion processes. Both allene and propyne have strong absorption in the infrared region. In the present work, infrared spectra of a-C3H4 and p-C3H4 are measured in the gas phase at temperatures ranging from 296 to 510 K. The spectra are measured over the 580–3400 cm−1 spectral region at resolutions of 0.08 and 0.25 cm−1 using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. Absolute integrated intensities of the main infrared bands are determined at room temperature and compared with …

We have investigated the thermodynamics of sulfuric acid dimer hydration using ab initio quantum mechanical methods. For (H2SO4)2(H2O)n where n = 0−6, we employed high-level ab initio calculations to locate the most stable minima for each cluster size. The results presented herein yield a detailed understanding of the first deprotonation of sulfuric acid as a function of temperature for a system consisting of two sulfuric acid molecules and up to six waters. At 0 K, a cluster of two sulfuric acid molecules and one water remains undissociated. Addition of a second water begins the deprotonation of the first sulfuric acid …

Absorption Cross-Section Measurements Of Methane, Ethane, Ethylene And Methanol At High Temperatures, Majed Alrefae, Et-Touhami Es-Sebbar, Aamir Farooq
Dr. Et-touhami Es-sebbar
Mid-IR absorption cross-sections are measured for methane, ethane, ethylene and methanol over 2800–3400 cm−1 (2.9–3.6 μm) spectral region. Measurements are carried out using a Fourier-Transform-Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer with temperatures ranging 296–1100 K and pressures near atmospheric. As temperature increases, the peak cross-sections decrease but the wings of the bands increase as higher rotational lines appear. Integrated band intensity is also calculated over the measured spectral region and is found to be a very weak function of temperature. The absorption cross-sections of the relatively small fuels studied here show dependence on the bath gas. This effect is investigated by studying the …
Measurements Of Linestrengths, N2-, Ar-, He- And Self-Broadening Coefficients Of Acetylene In The Ν4+Ν5 Combination Band Using A Cw Quantum Cascade Laser, Muhammad Bilal Sajid, Et-Touhami Es-Sebbar, Aamir Farooq
Measurements Of Linestrengths, N2-, Ar-, He- And Self-Broadening Coefficients Of Acetylene In The Ν4+Ν5 Combination Band Using A Cw Quantum Cascade Laser, Muhammad Bilal Sajid, Et-Touhami Es-Sebbar, Aamir Farooq
Dr. Et-touhami Es-sebbar
Linestrengths, N2-, Ar-, He- and self-broadening coefficients of acetylene have been measured at 296 K in the P branch of the ν4+ν5 combination band for 25 rotational transitions. The effect of gas temperature is studied over 296–683 K for five transitions to allow the determination of the temperature dependent exponent n for N2- and Ar-broadening coefficients. These measurements were performed using a continuous-wave quantum cascade laser (cw-QCL) operating over 1253–1310 cm−1. Spectroscopic parameters were obtained by fitting absorption spectra using Voigt, Galatry and Rautian profiles. Linestrength and broadening results are compared with previous studies available in literature for the ν4+ν5 …

An electrochemical cell using an organic compound, copper (II) phthalocyanine-tetrasulfonic acid tetrasodium salt (CuTsPc,) has been fabricated and investigated as a solution-based temperature sensor. The capacitance and resistance of the ITO/CuTsPc solution/ITO chemical cell has been characterized as a function of temperature in the temperature range of 25–80 °C. A linear response with minimal hysteresis is observed. The fabricated temperature sensor has shown high consistency and sensitive response towards a specific range of temperature values.

tCardiolipins (CLs) are important biologically for their unique role in biomembranes that couple phos-phorylation and electron transport like bacterial plasma membranes, chromatophores, chloroplasts andmitochondria. CLs are often tightly coupled to proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation. The firststep in understanding the interaction of CL with proteins is to obtain the pure CL structure, and the struc-ture of mixtures of CL with other lipids. In this work we use a variety of techniques to characterize the fluidphase structure, material properties and thermodynamics of mixtures of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine(DMPC) with tetramyristoylcardiolipin (TMCL), both with 14-carbon chains, at several mole percentages.X-ray diffuse scattering was used to …
