Abstract

A high temperature probe for sampling, for example, smokestack fumes, and is able to withstand temperatures of 3000.degree. F. The probe is constructed so as to prevent leakage via the seal by placing the seal inside the water jacket whereby the seal is not exposed to high temperature, which destroys the seal. The sample inlet of the probe is also provided with cooling fins about the area of the seal to provide additional cooling to prevent the seal from being destroyed. Also, a heated jacket is provided for maintaining the temperature of the gas being tested as it passes through the probe. The probe includes pressure sensing means for determining the flow velocity of an efficient being sampled. In addition, thermocouples are located in various places on the probe to monitor the temperature of the gas passing there through.

High-temperature NMR MAS probe with optimized temperature gradient across sample rotor

Patent Mehta, Hardeep S.; Sears, Jr., Jesse A.; Walter, Eric D.; ...

A rotor housing assembly for NMR spectroscopy. An elongate rotor has a distal drive end, a proximal end and an internal sample space positioned along its length between the drive and proximal ends. The rotor is driveable about a rotation axis by a drive gas flow. A rotor housing has an interior space in which the rotor is at least partially received. At least one first heated gas flow inlet is positioned opposite the internal sample space, through which a first heated gas flow is controllably flowable into the interior space to heat it and the rotor.

Spatially resolved quantitative mapping of thermomechanical properties and phase transition temperatures using scanning probe microscopy

Patent Jesse, Stephen; Kalinin, Sergei V; Nikiforov, Maxim P

An approach for the thermomechanical characterization of phase transitions in polymeric materials (polyethyleneterephthalate) by band excitation acoustic force microscopy is developed. This methodology allows the independent measurement of resonance frequency, Q factor, and oscillation amplitude of a tip-surface contact area as a function of tip temperature, from which the thermal evolution of tip-surface spring constant and mechanical dissipation can be extracted. A heating protocol maintained a constant tip-surface contact area and constant contact force, thereby allowing for reproducible measurements and quantitative extraction of material properties including temperature dependence of indentation-based elastic and loss moduli.
