Mass spectrometric analytical services and research. Annual progress report and quarterly report for the period December 9, 1975--March 8, 1976 activities to support coal-liquid characterization research

Interfacing of a Perkin Elmer model 3920 gas chromatograph to the CEC 21-110B mass spectrometer has been completed and the GC/MS system is operational. Detailed descriptions of the heated probe assembly and the rapid mass-scanning module are given. Initial emphasis has been placed on the utilization of GC/MS in conjunction with field ionization (FI). Satisfactory results have been obtained. The FI source for the CEC 21-110B mass spectrometer is routinely operational. Familiarity with its operation has improved ion-abundance reproducibility. For a mixture containing aromatic hydrocarbons, thiophenes, and furans, the average percent standard deviation in the average percent ionizations is 3.55 percent from three spectra. Application of the technique of FI mass spectrometry to quantitative analysis of coal type mixtures has been explored. The consequences of sensitivity data on the analytical results have been considered. Relative weight and mole sensitivities have been determined for 30 aromatic hydrocarbons, 20 thiophenes, and 7 heteroatom (oxygen and nitrogen) containing compounds with respect to ethylbenzene. Excellent analytical data has been obtained from three known mixtures using these sensitivities. Fifty three coal-liquid samples have been processed. Empirical formulas for 5000 ions have been determined from the high-resolution (70 eV) spectra recorded on photographic plates. FI spectra …

Solar one data acquisition. Interim progress report (open access)

Solar one data acquisition. Interim progress report

Solar One has been instrumented with sensors for weather data system temperatures and pressures, house electrical loads, and photovoltaic system data. An automatic data acquisition and handling system has been designed and installed to gather and then transmit data to a central computer. Programs to summarize these data and tabulate them in convenient forms have been prepared. Initial data have been obtained and analyzed to check the sensor system and to give preliminary performance characteristics of the solar system. (WDM)
