Combustion in boilers and furnaces remains a pivotal area of research, central to optimising energy efficiency and minimising pollutant emissions in industrial and power generation applications.

There are something like a billion cars on the world’s roads today and almost all of them are powered by internal combustion. In fact, the 150-year-old technology is at the heart of most forms of ...

Fires in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) differ from wildland fires. Combustible materials in the WUI have different chemical compositions and densities, and are present in different quantities, ...

This demo is done most commonly with the copper hydrogen cone apparatus. After filling the apparatus with hydrogen, the hydrogen gas escaping through the hole in the cap is ignited and burns quietly ...
