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

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 ...

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 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 ...

ABSTRACT Ethanol has been gaining attention as a partial substitute in North American pump gasoline in amounts up to 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, or what is commonly known as “E85". The problems with ...

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 ...

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 ...

When we burn fuels like petroleum during combustion to power our cars, we produce carbon dioxide as a waste product that is released into the atmosphere. But what if we could reverse the process, and ...

Consistent compliant analysis of Aromatic Hydrocarbons & their mixture samples from customers across the MENA region using Combustion Ion Chromatography (CIC). Halogen and sulfur content in aromatic ...

Spontaneous combustion is a sometimes mysterious and often misunderstood or misdiagnosed combustion of flammable materials. I am sure that many fires have been blamed on spontaneous combustion that ...

What happens to a material that is burned in different conditions? To investigate this question, researchers use a laser camera that photographs the material in a two-dimensional layer, known as LS ...
