Combustion is another name for burning. In a combustion reaction, fuel is burned and reacts with oxygen to release energy. Katie: Dr. Tim Gregory knows a thing or two about creating things that go ...

Researchers from Skoltech have published a paper in the journal Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena presenting an analysis of steady propagating combustion waves—from slow flames to supersonic detonation ...

It's sometimes difficult to observe combustion in situ — inside, say, a porous material or an industrial reactor. But with the help of nuclear magnetic resonance, a new vista has opened up. It was a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
