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 ...

Nanometer-sized bubbles containing the gases hydrogen and oxygen can apparently combust spontaneously, although nothing happens in larger bubbles. For the first time, researchers have demonstrated ...

This module connects ideas across topics in a first semester introductory chemistry course to explore the impacts of combustion reactions. By motivating students to understand the relationship between ...

WASHINGTON D.C. Nov. 26, 2013 -- Mix together air, fuel, and heat and you get combustion, the chemical reaction that powers most engines in planes, trains and automobiles. And if you throw in some ...

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 ...

This combustion concept is characterised by the injection of air-fuel mixtures into the combustion chamber in the form of jets with high flow velocities. The arrangement of the jets results in a ...

You've seen the evidence. You disassemble an engine and witness the appearance of deposits—or their absence—on piston crowns and combustion chambers in the cylinder heads. You can relate the presence, ...
