Researchers at Sandia and Argonne national laboratories have demonstrated, for the first time, a method to successfully predict pressure-dependent chemical reaction rates. It's an important ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne and Sandia National Laboratories have demonstrated, for the first time, a method to successfully predict pressure-dependent chemical reaction ...

Internal combustion engines are everywhere, yet they are not a common sight. They power most cars and motorcycles by combusting a fossil fuel like petroleum (although these vehicles are slowly being ...

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 ...

What happens during a wildfire? The short answer is: much more than we know. As wildfires burn through trees, grasses and ...

Researchers have theoretically linked ignition and deflagration in a combustion system, unlocking new configurations for stable, efficient combustion engines due to the possible existence of any ...

Ultrafast laser camera: a, the kerosene flame studied in this work; b, optical signals induced when nanoparticles such as soot or PAH molecules in the flame interact with the nanosecond laser-sheet; c ...

Combustion engines are machines that use the heat and pressure from a combustion reaction to generate mechanical energy. Most combustion engines operate by inducing a controlled burn of fuel and air ...

In a combustion reaction, fuel is burned and reacts with oxygen to release energy. Respiration is the chemical change that takes place inside living cells. Glucose and oxygen are used to release ...

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 ...
