The use of a tracer aerosol with a bulk density close to that of air is a convenient way to study the dispersal of pollutants in ambient room air flow. Conventional point measurement techniques do not permit the rapid and accurate determination of the concentration fields produced by the injection of such a tracer into a volume of air. An instantaneous two dimensional distribution would aid in the characterization of flow and diffusion processes in the volume studied, and permit verification of theoretical models. A method is developed to measure such two dimensional concentration fields using a laser light sheet to illuminate the plane of interest, which is captured and processed using current microcomputer-based video image acquisition and analysis technology. Point concentrations, determined optically using extinction of monochromatic illumination projected through the aerosol onto a photo detector, are used to calibrate the captured video linages to detennine actual concentration values. Accuracy, reproducibility, and maximum rate of data acquisition are evaluated by means of theoretical models of ambient air flow in a sealed box with pointinjection of the tracer, and in a duct of circular cross section with constant air velocity under both constant and pulsed injection scenarios.

Full textMonitoring of gaseous releases from nuclear installations in the environment and air cleaning efficiency measurement are based on regular measurements of concentrations of contaminants in outlet chimneys and ventilation systems. The concentration distribution may be heterogeneous at the measuring point if the distance setting of the mixing is not sufficient. The question is about the set up of the measuring point in duct and the error compared to the homogeneous concentration in case of non-compliance with this distance. This study defines the so-called "well mixing length" from laboratory experiments. The bench designed for these tests allowed to reproduce flows in long circular and rectangular ducts, each including a bend. An optical measurement technique has been developed, calibrated and used to measure the concentration distribution of a tracer injected in the flow. The experimental results in cylindrical duct have validated an analytical model based on the convection-diffusion equation of a tracer, and allowed to propose models of good mixing length and representativeness of sampling points. In rectangular duct, the acquired measures constitute a first database on the evolution of the homogenization of a tracer, in the perspective of numerical simulations exploring more realistic conditions for measurements in situ

Full textCities play an important role in tackling climate change as they account for more than 70% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. In recent years, several efforts have attempted to quantify city-scale CO2 emissions and establish a high spatially and temporally resolved inventory for supporting urban emission mitigation strategies. The so-called "top-down" inverse estimation of CO2 emissions constrained by independent atmospheric observations could serve to evaluate the consistency of traditional "bottom-up" inventories. A novel CO2 monitoring technique, known as the Greenhouse gas Laser Imaging Tomography Experiment (GreenLITE™) trace gas measurement system, was deployed in central Paris for a 1-year monitoring of near-surface atmospheric CO2 concentrations along 30 horizontal chords. This system has a much wider spatial coverage than traditional in situ sampling and was expected to be more consistent with the spatial representativeness of the kilometer-scale resolution atmospheric transport models used for the city-scale atmospheric inversion.The primary objective of this thesis is to assess the potential contribution of this GreenLITE™ system, in addition to two urban and four peri-urban in situ CO2 measurement stations, for a better understanding of the spatiotemporal variations of CO2 concentrations within Paris and its vicinity. For this objective, I have developed a full modeling framework around the high-resolution Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) and its coupling with Chemistry (WRF-Chem), using CO2 emission inventories, estimates of the vegetation fluxes and boundary conditions provided by a large-scale simulation.Chapter 1 is a broad introduction to the subject while chapter 2-4 are built around three separate and publishable papers.Chapter 2 aims at evaluating whether the WRF model running at a 3-km horizontal resolution, with its various configurations, can reproduce the meteorological fields over the IdF region better than the 16-km resolution ECMWF global operational forecasts. The comparisons between WRF and ECMWF forecasts with respect to observations are carried out with a focus on three atmospheric variables (air temperature, wind and PBL height). The results of the sensitivity tests of different physics schemes and nudging options obtained in this chapter are used in subsequent research for the selection of appropriate WRF-Chem model setup in support of atmospheric CO2 transport modeling.Chapter 3 aims at understanding the spatiotemporal variations of CO2 concentrations within Paris and its vicinity during the 1-year GreenLITE™ operating period from September 2015 to December 2016. The analyses are based on CO2 data provided by GreenLITE™ together with six in situ stations and the 1 km-resolution WRF-Chem model coupled with two urban canopy schemes (Urban Canopy Model - UCM; Building Effect Parameterization - BEP). The GreenLITE™ data provide clear information that favors BEP over UCM in the description of vertical mixing and CO2 concentrations during the winter. However, there are indications of measurement noise in summer that limit the usefulness of the data. Furthermore, the model-observation mismatches clearly stress the difficulty of CO2 modeling within urban areas due to the large uncertainties both in the atmospheric transport and the emission inventory.Chapter 4 aims at investigating in detail the critical sources of errors that lead to the model-observation mismatches in the atmospheric CO2 modeling over Paris. These sources of misfit include uncertainties in the assumed distribution of anthropogenic emission, errors in the atmospheric transport, in biogenic CO2 fluxes and in CO2 boundary conditions at the edges of the atmospheric transport model domain. The lessons and insights from this chapter provide requirements and recommendations for the assimilation of CO2 measurements into the atmospheric inversion, when aiming at the quantification of CO2 emissions for the Paris region

Full textThis work of these has made it possible to develop and characterize the use of instruments on the "OF-CEAS" technique in the mid-infrared for traces' detection in different mixtures in the gas phase. Inter-band Cascade Laser (ICL) is the latest innovation in semiconductor lasers in this spectral region. Compatibility of ICL with OF-CEAS offers new applications for compact and robust instruments with fast response time and a low detection limit. A demonstration of the good sensitivity and stability of the OF-CEAS instruments was performed with continua absorption measurements (water vapor and nitrogen). But also with the detection of a very low intensity quadrupole line of nitrogen (3x10-29 cm-1/(moléc cm-2). The main objective of this work was to develop an instrument dedicated to nitrogen oxide detection for the analysis of exhaled breath. The analyzer is presented at the sensitivity of 6x10-10 cm-1 in an acquisition of 180 ms. Its limit of detection on NO is at the state of the art, with short term (180 ms) limit of 50 ppt. It reaches the sub-ppt level (0.9 ppt) with 12 min of integration

Full textIt works efficiently and can be used in many applications (nuclear power plants,
pulp and paper processing, petroleum extraction, etc.). However, this pump and separator
system (PASS) was especially designed to handle air-oil mixture generated in
aero-engine lubrication systems. The PASS combines three important functions of the
scavenge part of the lubrication system: the deaeration and deoiling of the air-oil mixture
generated in the bearing and gearbox sumps and the pumping of the oil towards
the tank. These are critical functions for the engine. Indeed, a poor deoiling efficiency
leads to a high oil consumption. This reduces the flight endurance, increases the size
and weight of the oil tank and has a negative impact on the environment. Poor deaeration
and pumping characteristics lead to problems in the cooling and the lubrication of
the engine bearings.
Integrating a PASS into the lubrication system allows considerable improvements
(and simplification) to the lubrication system architecture. An important number of
components are suppressed: the vent lines, the deoiler, the cyclone deaerator and the
scavenge pumps. This reduces the size and the weight of the lubrication system and
increases its reliability. Furthermore, an important part of this PhD thesis focuses on
reducing the oil consumption in the PASS. This improves the flight endurance, reduces
engine maintenance and working costs and is profitable to the environment.
In addition to the development of an advanced PASS design system, the objective of
this thesis was to obtain a good understanding of the separation processes occurring in
the PASS and to develop theoretical models able to predict the separation performance
for every working condition encountered in a typical aircraft flight. To achieve this
goal, three main tasks were performed: the development of different two-phase measurement
systems, the experimental tests of four different PASS architectures and the
theoretical development (after an extensive literature review) of correlations predicting
the performance of the PASS in function of the working conditions. Five specific aspects
of the PASS were studied: the inlet flow, the deoiling efficiency, the deaeration efficiency,
the pumping efficiency and the pressure drop. Finally, the models that have been developed
with the help of the measurement systems and of the experiments have been
integrated in a complete model of the lubrication system (under the EcosimPro modelling
environment). This helps to predict real in flight PASS working conditions and
performance. Indeed, the PASS is very sensitive to the engine working conditions and
an optimisation of the prototype size and performance is only feasible with an accurate
knowledge of these working conditions and a complete lubrication system model.
Finally, with the results of this PhD thesis, a new PASS design, optimised for different
aero-engine lubrication systems, is presented.

Full textThe subject of this dissertation is the development of a wireless sensor network composed of instruments which employ both VCSELs and QCLs for accurate, highly sensitive, and reliable long-term monitoring of environmental trace-gases. The dissertation focuses on the development of low-power instruments and calibration methods that ensure the reliability of long-term measurements.
First the field deployment of a low-power, portable, wireless laser spectroscopic sensor node for atmospheric CO2 monitoring is demonstrated. The sensor node shows 0.14 ppmv Hz-1/2 1σ measurement sensitivity of CO2 concentration changes. It was first used to measure top-soil respiration rates in the laboratory and on forest floors in the field.
Then after a long-term field deployment to further assess instrument performance, new design solutions were implemented to improve fringe-limited precision of the nodes to 4-7 ppmv against a 400 ppmv CO2 background, making their performance comparable to higher power consuming commercial trace-gas analyzers. Three optimized nodes were then deployed into mixed landscapes as part of a solar powered CO2 monitoring wireless network. The three node network monitored CO2 in a grassy/woody courtyard, on top of the roof of an engineering building, and next to a road in the Princeton area. These works show that ultra-low powered VCSEL based sensor nodes can be placed in off-the-grid environments for autonomous distributed geographic monitoring of trace-gases in a manner which is impossible with current commercial techniques.
Next, this dissertation covers two techniques that were developed for the real-time calibration of laser-based trace-gas measurements. The first technique used an in-line reference gas cell and employed wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) at higher harmonics to simultaneously probe the sample and reference spectra. The second technique used a revolving in-line reference cell to suppress background and other non-spectroscopic signals. These techniques were designed for eventual inclusion as a real-time calibration source for field deployable trace-gas sensors and wireless sensor networks.
Finally, this dissertation demonstrates the use of the CW injection current into a VCSEL in an external cavity configuration to tune the cavity emission's self-oscillation frequency and show through simulation and experiment that the tuning is dependent on VCSEL birefringence change.

Full textPhotoacoustic cells are optical sensors based on the absorption of photons by gas molecules. The pressure wave created by gas relaxation is proportional to the trace gas concentration. Furthermore the photoacoustic signal is inversely proportional to the cell volume. Thus cell miniaturization enables performances improvements. This work consists in designing, realizing and characterizing miniaturized photoacoustic cells, based on the differential Helmholtz resonator (DHR) principle. In a first phase, modeling by the finite element method of millimeter scale cells has shown that the miniaturization of this type of resonator should effectively improve the detection limit. Thus, the ambitious realization of a DHR cell on silicon by the use of microelectronic techniques has been attempted. However, this extreme miniaturization direction encountered design and fabrication difficulties which made the produced devices unusable. To overcome these difficulties, a miniaturization alternative, at the centimeter scale, using commercial MEMS microphones, has been carried out. Three cells have been built by different methods and have been tested for methane detection. The last cell generation can detect around 100 ppb of methane with a commercial interband cascade laser at 3.357 µm of wavelength. Finally, to anticipate the next cell generation fabrication, a geometry optimization has been performed by simulation. This optimization shows that a 43 % signal improvement, compared to the most performant cell already built

Full textThe need for trace gas analysis has increased in recent years due to an important concern of the public and industry on issues such as the control of emissions of air pollutants, environmental monitoring, health and security. It is therefore necessary to have the trace gas sensors able of high selectivity, sensitivity and a direct measurement in real time. The reliability of the measurement systems is also an important criterion, depending on the intended application, the need to move towards miniaturization of microsystems for the development of portable devices for on-site operations is also interesting.This thesis is in this context and focuses on the study and development of a sensitive, efficient and simple setup to make selective, in-situ and in real time measurements of trace gases. This system is based on quartz enhanced photoacoustic spectrocopy (QEPAS) which consists on the measurement of an acoustic wave generated by the non-radiative relaxation of the excited molecules after light absorption, with a quartz tuning fork (QTF). The operation of tunable laser sources, of QTF and different spectrophone configurations (combination of the micro-resonator and QTF) used in QEPAS technique are detailed. A model of the acoustic wave and the response of the sensor are also proposed. Two devices have been designed. The first one is a QEPAS prototype bench, dedicated to the measurement of ethylene with a DFB laser diode emitting at 3.32 µm. The second device is a new version of QEPAS sensor that is more compact than the currently existing devices and where it is possible to place any type of commercial laser diode. This compact bench is used for methane measurement with a DFB laser diode emitting at 3.26 µm
