Abstract

To develop effective air quality control strategies for military air bases, there is a need to accurately quantify these emissions. In support of the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program project, the particulate matter (PM) and gaseous emissions from two T56 engines on a parked C-130 aircraft were characterized at the Kentucky Air National Guard base in Louisville, KY. Conventional and research-grade instrumentation and methodology were used in the field campaign during the first week of October 2005. Particulate emissions were sampled at the engine exit plane and at 15 m downstream. In addition, remote sensing of the gaseous species was performed via spectroscopic techniques at 5 and 15 m downstream of the engine exit. It was found that PM mass and number concentrations measured at 15-m downstream

The research was supported by the U.S. Department of Defense Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP). John Storey, James Park II, and Curt Maxey of ORNL and Walt Fisher of Galt Technology in Knoxville, TN, participated in the field campaign. Doh-Won Lee and Dibyendu Muhkerjee of the ORNL Institute for Science and Education assisted in PM sampling. Darrell Joseph, Jan Satola, and Lizabeth Alexander of Battelle also participated in the field experiments. ORNL is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy under contract no. DE-AC05-000R22725. Captain Adam Quick of the U.S. Air Force, Joseph Mantz of UDRI, and Charles Green of Taitech Inc. participated in the field campaign. The work of UDRI was supported by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) under cooperative research agreement F33615-03-2-2347. Part of Edwin Corporan’s effort was supported in-kind by the WPAFB in Wright-Patterson, OH. The authors also acknowledge the support of SMSgts Wayne Ashley and Gary Dunlap at KYANG Base and their aircraft maintenance team. Without their dedication this campaign would not have been possible.
