Researchers use Direct Numerical Simulations to enhance efficiency, reduce pollution in diesel engines. A "cool flame" may sound contradictory, but it's an important element of diesel combustion -- ...

There are plenty of articles on combustion testing, equipment adjustments, and efficiency, but few on basic combustion knowledge or understanding. To some people, promoting setting gas pressure, ...

Despite sounding like a thoroughly entertaining evening out, it is actually a description for one of the most important processes in the majority of engines. Known as the four-cycle, it is the process ...

MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (02/18/2024) — For the first time, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities discovered a new method by which a catalyst can be used to selectively burn one ...

As a means of exploring the use of optical imaging techniques in the study of engine flow and combustion problems, we have applied several imaging techniques in different laboratory engines and engine ...

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 ...

The conventional method for evaluating the power and thermal efficiency of a gas turbine system often assumes that the working fluid is air. This is due to the very low fuel to air ratio of ...

Since the early 1950's, it has been recognized that the symmetrical burning of an isolated droplet represents an ideal situation in which to study the complex coupling of chemical reactions and ...

What does human metabolism have in common with coal combustion? Quite a bit, it turns out, say researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) who are studying chemical looping ...
