In this paper, we propose a photodegradation correction method for the dual-luminophore pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) measurement using lifetime-based imaging, which was proposed for correction of the temperature-induced error but has suffered from photodegradation in the previous studies. We introduced a parameter that characterizes the photodegradation of a dual-luminophore PSP as the intensity ratio between the two luminophores. The changes in the calibration coefficients for the pressure and the temperature due to photodegradation were corrected based on this parameter. In this study, a coupon-based calibration test was performed, and the luminescence characteristics of the dual-luminophore PSP including photodegradation were investigated. Then, the proposed method was applied to a coupon-based validation test and a jet impingement test, and the effectiveness of the method was evaluated by comparing results with and without correction. The pressure measurement accuracy was significantly improved by photodegradation correction.

Magnetic circularly polarized luminescence (MCPL) spectroscopy is widely used to evaluate the luminescence dissymmetry factor (g) for compounds. However, even for the same instrument and operating conditions, the measured g is affected by errors associated with sources such as baseline drift and spectral noise, and so the range of variation of g must be considered when comparing values, which requires multiple measurements for the same sample. Also, because many samples undergo photodegradation under excitation light, it is difficult to accumulate and average spectra for samples with weak MCPL signals to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.

Article Synopsis
  • Photodegradation of drug substances can produce both known and unknown products that interfere with analytical results due to absorption at certain wavelengths.
  • The study focuses on improving the accuracy of measurements for methylcobalamin (MC) and hydroxocobalamin by applying linear and non-linear methods to correct for irrelevant absorbances during photolytic degradation involving ascorbic acid (AH).
  • Methylcobalamin shows first-order degradation kinetics, with the degradation rate being pH-dependent; it peaks at pH 5.0 when in the presence of ascorbic acid, whereas degradation slows down in more alkaline conditions.

Quantifying HONO Production from Nitrate Photolysis in a Polluted Atmosphere.

The photolysis of particulate nitrate (pNO) has been suggested to be an important source of nitrous acid (HONO) in the troposphere. However, determining the photolysis rate constant of pNO () suffers from high uncertainty. Prior laboratory measurements of using aerosol filters have been complicated by the "shadow effect"─a phenomenon of light extinction within aerosol layers that potentially skews these measurements.

Methyl esters are an important component of combustion and atmospheric systems. Reaction with the OH radical plays an important role in the removal of the simplest methyl ester, methyl formate (MF, CHOCHO). In this paper, the overall rate coefficients for the reactions of OH and OD with MF isotopologues, studied under pseudo-first-order conditions, are reported using two different laser flash photolysis systems with the decay of OH monitored by laser-induced fluorescence.
