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 ...

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 ...

Coal spontaneous combustion (CSC) is a potential disastrous event related to coal mining. It is known that the coal is rich in the Xinjiang region of China, which has experienced severe coal ...

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 ...

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 ...

A billionth of a second: That's how quickly some of the most critical chemical reactions of combustion occur. Argonne chemist Stephen Pratt leads the Gas-Phase Chemical Dynamics Group at Argonne. His ...

This year’s AHR Expo recognized, for its prestigious Innovation Award, Infinicon’s FLUE Mate combustion analyzer as the winner of the Tools & Instruments category. Combustion analyzers are becoming ...

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 ...

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 ...

[Editor’s Note: This is part two of the two-part series on combustion analysis.] Safety of the appliance should be the primary goal of all technicians. The production of carbon monoxide (CO) in the ...

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 ...
