You've seen the evidence. You disassemble an engine and witness the appearance of deposits—or their absence—on piston crowns and combustion chambers in the cylinder heads. You can relate the presence, ...

Researchers from Skoltech have published a paper in the journal Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena presenting an analysis of steady propagating combustion waves—from slow flames to supersonic detonation ...

A method to successfully predict pressure-dependent chemical reaction rates has been demonstrated by scientists for the first time. It’s an important breakthrough in combustion and atmospheric ...

Internal combustion engines are everywhere, yet they are not a common sight. They power most cars and motorcycles by combusting a fossil fuel like petroleum (although these vehicles are slowly being ...

This module connects ideas across topics in a first semester introductory chemistry course to explore the impacts of combustion reactions. By motivating students to understand the relationship between ...

As you work your way through this month's column, be aware there are successful engine and parts manufacturers who do not subscribe to what is being shared—and that's OK. There are also numerous of ...

Combustion is another name for burning. In a combustion reaction, fuel is burned and reacts with oxygen to release energy. Katie: Dr. Tim Gregory knows a thing or two about creating things that go ...
