A research team has developed one of the world's fastest single-shot laser cameras, which is at least a thousand times faster than today's most modern equipment for combustion diagnostics. The ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 251, No. 1265 (May 26, 1959), pp. 265-273 (9 pages) Studies have been made of the extent and mechanism of ...

PROF. BONE'S summary of the facts in support of the hydroxylation theory of hydrocarbon combustion will be appreciated by all who are interested in the subject. As Prof. Bone notices, I have not been ...

As the outcome of much controversy towards the end of last century, former erroneous notions of a preferential burning whether of hydrogen or of carbon in hydrocarbon combustion were finally ...

This module uses transportation fuels as the theme to connect the organic concepts of hydrocarbon structure, intramolecular forces and physical properties to green and sustainable chemistry. The ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have discovered a method to selectively burn a single molecule within a mixture of hydrocarbons—compounds composed of ...

When we burn fuels like petroleum during combustion to power our cars, we produce carbon dioxide as a waste product that is released into the atmosphere. But what if we could reverse the process, and ...

ABSTRACT Ethanol has been gaining attention as a partial substitute in North American pump gasoline in amounts up to 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, or what is commonly known as “E85". The problems with ...

How did complex hydrocarbons—the chemical building blocks of life—form in space? That was the question asked by team of researchers investigating the creation of pyrene, a hydrocarbon found in ...

What happens to a material that is burned in different conditions? To investigate this question, researchers use a laser camera that photographs the material in a two-dimensional layer, known as LS ...

(Nanowerk News) By illuminating a sample surface with short laser beam pulses, it is possible to film sequences of various chemical and physical reactions. A research team that included researchers ...
