Combustion resistance of the super(129)Xe hyperpolarized nuclear spin state

Using a methane-xenon mixture for spin exchange optical pumping, MRI of combustion was enabled. The super(129)Xe hyperpolarized nuclear spin state was found to sufficiently survive the complete passage through the harsh environment of the reaction zone. A velocity profile (V sub(z)(z)) of a flame wa...

Description
Summary:Using a methane-xenon mixture for spin exchange optical pumping, MRI of combustion was enabled. The super(129)Xe hyperpolarized nuclear spin state was found to sufficiently survive the complete passage through the harsh environment of the reaction zone. A velocity profile (V sub(z)(z)) of a flame was recorded to demonstrate the feasibility of MRI velocimetry of transport processes in combustors.
