A method to successfully predict pressure-dependent chemical reaction rates has been demonstrated by scientists for the first time. It’s an important breakthrough in combustion and atmospheric ...

Gas-solid reactions underpin the transformation of solid fuels—such as coal, biomass and synthetic carbon—into energy carriers via combustion or into synthesis gases through gasification. These ...

Fires in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) differ from wildland fires. Combustible materials in the WUI have different chemical compositions and densities, and are present in different quantities, ...

LEMONT, Ill. -- The U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Propulsion made an historic first with its experiment in a gas turbine combustor using X-rays. The data will ...

When a combustion reaction takes place energy is released to the combustion products. If no heat is lost in this process, the temperature of the combustion products is known as the "Adiabatic Flame ...

For hundreds of years of human history, the invention that has defined our ability to travel, explore, and expand our boundaries has been the combustion engine. This hallmark of mechanical development ...

Power plant operators are always looking for ways to boost performance. A combustion optimizer designed to improve efficiency and lower emissions could help. It supports more flexible operation of ...

In this video, I explain why some reactions explode while others cool, exploring the root cause of chemical energy. I discuss the chemistry behind endothermic and exothermic reactions, which involves ...

The first wireless leave-in thermometer we really like. Chock-a-block with features food nerds will love, yet most of us will enjoy setting the phone down and getting all the info we need from the ...
