A research team has developed one of the world's fastest single-shot laser cameras, which is at least a thousand times faster than today's most modern equipment for combustion diagnostics. The ...

Hydrogen-fueled gas turbines are coming. Adverse climate impacts from carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses have spurred substantial momentum from a variety of policy and industry groups to ...

THE publication in NATURE of July 7, p. 19, of Mr. A. C. Egerton's recent Royal Institution discourse on “Engine Knock and Related Problems,” following upon Prof. H. L. Callendar's paper on the same ...

THE slow combustion of hydrocarbons in general takes place by a kinetic process which Semenov 1 described as a chain reaction showing 'degenerate branching'. According to this conception, the ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 251, No. 1265 (May 26, 1959), pp. 265-273 (9 pages) Studies have been made of the extent and mechanism of ...

Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University, together with colleagues, conducted experiments and predicted with high accuracy the kinetic characteristics of ignition and combustion of fuel with the ...

This module uses transportation fuels as the theme to connect the organic concepts of hydrocarbon structure, intramolecular forces and physical properties to green and sustainable chemistry. The ...

In an effort to improve the trade-off between fuel economy and emissions in the rotary combustion engine, research was undertaken to provide a better understanding of the sources of unburned ...
