The field of micro combustors has advanced considerably in recent years, driven by the demand for compact, efficient energy conversion systems for portable power generation and specialised ...

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 ...

A vital piece of gas engines, combustors -- the chambers in which the combustion powering the engine occurs -- have the problem of breaking down due to fatal high-frequency oscillations during the ...

For economic and environmental reasons, it is important that gas turbines used in both industrial power generation and also oil & gas applications can burn a wide variety of fuels, with minimum impact ...

Approximately 25 years ago, a project supported by the Gas Research Institute (GRI) in Chicago led to a common kinetic model for the combustion of natural gas, which is dominated by methane and has ...

A new type of combustion chamber reduces pollution with less complexity and a safer, more reliable design than other low-emission burners, the device’s developers say. The novel chamber, or combustor, ...

Rocket engines contain confined combustion systems, which are, essentially, combustion chambers. In these chambers, nonlinear interactions among turbulent fuel and oxidizer flows, sound waves, and ...

A.Here's a pressure-volume diagram for a combustion engine. Although rough, it is an approximation of the so-called air-standard cycle. '' Point (a) is at atmospheric pressure, after which the air is ...

Adequate combustion air supply is a critical aspect of safe operation for any fuel-fired equipment. To provide this essential component, openings constructed of metal ducts or fixed grilles are ...
