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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Researchers have learned the mechanisms behind a means of improved ignition, helping to open the door to better performance in all types of combustion systems. Researchers in the Oregon State ...

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 ...
