Quantum chemical simulations reveal an unprecedented relationship between the mechanism of carbon nanotube growth and hydrocarbon combustion processes. Results of these simulations illustrate 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 ...

As intrinsically carbon-free molecules, ammonia and hydrogen are considered as fuels for internal combustion engines, mainly for long-distance or off-road applications. These alternative fuels have ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Liviu M. Mirica, PhD, assistant professor of chemistry at Washington University in St. Louis may have found and is developing a novel metal catalyst that would be able to turn greenhouse gases like ...

Sandia National Laboratories combustion chemist Craig Taatjes (PhDChemPhys’91) received the prestigious Polanyi Medal for his work in hydrocarbon combustion and atmospheric chemistry. The Polanyi ...

The study published in Carbon ("Quantum chemical simulations reveal acetylene-based growth mechanisms in the chemical vapor deposition synthesis of carbon nanotubes"), is expected to lead to ...

Nagoya, Japan – Professor Stephan Irle of the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (WPI-ITbM) at Nagoya University and co-workers at Kyoto University, Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL), and Chinese ...
