DISINTEGRATION of vitreous carbon exposed to potassium vapour is thought to result 1 from the enhancement—by the formation of intercalation compounds—of stresses already present in the structure.

Flow velocity in the fuel/oxidizer injectors and combustion chamber during combustion oscillations in a model of a rocket engine. (Courtesy: Hiroshi Gotoda) Researchers in Japan have identified a ...

In this paper a combustion diagnostic method is presented where measured pressure data is used to calculate the heat release, local temperatures and concentrations of NO and other species. This is ...

SAE International Journal of Engines, Vol. 9, No. 2 (June 2016), pp. 868-882 (15 pages) ABSTRACT Reductions in combustion noise are necessary in high load diesel engine operation and multiple fuel ...

If the reaction takes place at constant volume, no work is done and application of the first law indicates that the energy release, Q v, is the change in the internal energy of the system: Q v = (DU) ...

MEASUREMENT of the heat of combustion in the cell biomass of photosynthesizing micro-organisms makes it possible to quantify the energy fixed in the course of their growth, and has already been ...

In this video from PASC18, Saumil Patel from Argonne describes his poster: A low-Mach simulation of flow and heat transfer in a motored internal combustion engine using the spectral element method. A ...

Mahle has been granted a patent for a heat exchanger designed for internal combustion engines. The invention features a dual fluid channel system, reinforced S-shaped edge tabs, and a frame part with ...
