For almost two decades now at NUI Galway we have been developing detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms, validated over a wide range of pressures, temperatures and equivalence ratio...
The complexity of combustion chemistry usually makes it impractical to determine all the important rate and thermochemical parameters by experimentation...
This lecture will overview recent progress on two combustion research topics currently under study at Stanford in the High Temperature Gasdynamics Laboratory...
Combustion produces more than 80% of the world energy. This will not change for a long time as the global energy grouth remains much larger the waht new renewable energies can provide...
Soot formation process is one of the most complex phenomena in combustion involving fuel pyrolysis, incipient ring formation, PAH formation and growth, and soot inception, growth, agglomeration and oxidation...
Global warming caused by greenhouse gases have caused great concern for a number of reasons. It is clear that drastic changes have to be implemented in the near future to reduce or stop the increase of average temperature and the many negative consequences that go with it...
Ethanol is the most commonly used biofuel and the the single most-abundant compound in gasoline in many markets...
In this talk we present the horizontal motion of the vortices in rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection in several flow regimes...
