In space, fuel burns in a sphere. The FLEX-2 experiment studies this type of combustion. In space, a drop of fuel burns in a sphere, symmetrically sucking in oxygen and producing heat and gas equally ...

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 ...

What happens to a material that is burned in different conditions? To investigate this question, researchers use a laser camera that photographs the material in a two-dimensional layer, known as LS ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

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 ...
