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

Detailed studies of the distribution of the products formed in the different regimes of combustion of n-pentane indicate the importance in the overall oxidation mechanism of the isomerization of ...

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 ...

As the outcome of much controversy towards the end of last century, former erroneous notions of a preferential burning whether of hydrogen or of carbon in hydrocarbon combustion were finally ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have discovered a method to selectively burn a ...

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 ...

As scientists look for ways to help remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, a number of experiments have focused on employing this gas to create usable fuels. Both hydrogen and methanol have ...

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 incredible complexity of turbulent combustion has made modeling it and systems in which it is important a goal that researchers know probably won't be reached in their lifetimes. Researchers in UB ...

Hydrocarbons react with oxygen to create carbon dioxide and water which releases heat. Can be used to recap on combustion reactions for hydrocarbons or could lead into a classroom discussion on nature ...
