To supplement domestic natural gas supplies, the U.S. is expected to increase its dependence on offshore liquefied natural gas suppliers in the coming years. However, the composition and hydrocarbon ...

LEMONT, Ill. -- The U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Propulsion made an historic first with its experiment in a gas turbine combustor using X-rays. The data will ...

Combustor design simulation requires the resolution of complex geometry, turbulent flow patterns, heat transfer, and detailed chemistry. Although computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can simulate the ...

Georgia Tech researchers have created a new combustor (combustion chamber where fuel is burned to power an engine or gas turbine) designed to burn fuel in a wide range of devices with next to no ...

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 ...

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 ...

New, longer-lasting retrofit catalytic combustors can improve wood stove efficiency by 10 percent to 25 percent. Besides substantially reducing the amount of wood needed during a heating season (if ...

Just think about all the plastic people use every single day–bottles, Tupperware, packaging–the list goes on and on. Now imagine if all thatplasticwere diverted from the recycling plant or landfill ...

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 heat ...
