Jason Widegren’s Expertise RESEARCH AREAS NMR Spectroscopy My research with NMR spectroscopy has primarily involved the analysis of complex mixtures, such as are often found in fuels. I am also interested in purity analysis, including quantitative NMR (qNMR), and in the use of NMR for the quantitative analysis of gas-phase mixtures. Vapor Pressure of Low Volatility Compounds I measure the vapor pressures of low-volatility compounds by the concatenated gas saturation method. This work has included measurements on taggants for explosives (where vapor pressures are important for detection), biodiesel esters (where vapor pressures are needed for bio-refinery design), and organic aerosol formers (where vapor pressures are needed for climate modeling). Thermal Stability of Fuels I make measurements of the thermal stability of fuels. For example, kerosene-based rocket propellants serve the dual roles of fuel and coolant in modern rocket engines. Prior to combustion, the rocket propellant circulates through channels in the wall of the thrust chamber. Thus, the fuel carries heat away from the wall and maintains a safe wall temperature. This process, commonly referred to as regenerative cooling, exposes the fuel to high temperatures. For this reason, the thermal stability of the fuel is a key design parameter for specifying its performance. I have measured the thermal stability of the kerosene-based rocket propellants RP-1 and RP-2, and has studied the effects of stabilizing additives on RP-2. Other areas of current work include the measurement of enthalpies of adsorption for energetic compounds on construction materials (like concrete), the permeation of energetic compounds through polymer barriers (like soda bottles), and the measurement of water concentration by Karl Fischer titration.
