Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have set a record runtime with a new compressorless gas turbine. The ...

The engine in your car and most motorcycles today are 4-stroke units that keep lubrication and fuel for combustion as separate parts. The 2-Stroke engine on the other hand requires the mixing of fuel ...

Chemists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, working with colleagues at Stony Brook University, have developed a unique experimental technique to measure the flow of ...

The danger of the ever-increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth's atmosphere has become one of the most pressing issues of our age. As such, much research has been conducted to find ways not ...

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

Thuwal/Helsinki/Leipzig. Alkanes, an important component of fuels for combustion engines and an important class of urban trace gases, react via another reaction pathways than previously thought. These ...

Waste incineration is one of many societal applications of combustion. As illustrated in Figure 3-1, the typical waste-incineration facility includes the following operations: Waste storage and feed ...
