[Editor's note: This is part four of a five-part series.] Before you test any equipment at an existing installation, before you even perform a clean and check or other maintenance, you need to check ...

Flow velocity in the fuel/oxidizer injectors and combustion chamber during combustion oscillations in a model of a rocket engine. (Courtesy: Hiroshi Gotoda) Researchers in Japan have identified a ...

It's important to keep in mind that the combustion process occurs in a very brief period of time. Due to a variety of conditions that include mixture density, homogeneity, temperature, fuel ...

Forced-air heat is generated at a central furnace and is then distributed and delivered to the conditioned space via a duct system. A properly designed heating system will generate quiet, filtered, ...

Researchers have discovered that non-flaming combustion (smoldering) of a porous specimen can sustain, even under nearly 1 percent of atmospheric pressure. The thermal structure of a 2-mm-diameter ...

If the reaction takes place at constant volume, no work is done and application of the first law indicates that the energy release, Q v, is the change in the internal energy of the system: Q v = (DU) ...

Authorities have issued a hot weather warning to people using electric scooters after two children were involved in a random combustion in remote Western Australia. An e-scooter has combusted while ...
