Experiment

Name: Caltech Atmospheric Chamber_20170627_No Reactant_None_No Seed_170627_50_c67oh
Date: 2017-06-27

Organization
Caltech Atmospheric Chamber

Chamber
Near Bag 2014

Experiment Set
Vapor-wall Loss

Goals
Investigate vapor-wall loss rates of C6OH and C7OH at RH = 50%

Summary
Obtained temporal profiles of two compounds with GC-FID

Additional Notes
The experiments are designed to study the behavior of vapor in the Teflon-walled chamber in the long term, so the timeline just lists the measurement starting time. For some experiments, the VOC injection is still happening while the measurement is going on.
