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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

As automobile makers look for alternatives to gasoline, hydrogen combustion is starting to gain traction. The hydrogen combustion engine is said to have the same range as a gasoline-powered combustion ...

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 ...
