Boric acid and other impurities on the surface of boron (B) particles can interact with hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB), weakening the mechanical properties and energy release efficiency of ...

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 ...

Alkanes, an important component of fuels for combustion engines and an important class of urban trace gases, react via another reaction pathways than previously thought. These hydrocarbons, formerly ...

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 ...

Nitrates with equimolar concentrations of 0.2 M (Fe, Mn, Ni, Cu, Co) and glycine with different fuel-to-oxidizer ratios (φ-0.9, φ-0.95, φ-1.0, and φ-1.05) were dissolved in 20 ml of DI water and ...

A billionth of a second: That's how quickly some of the most critical chemical reactions of combustion occur. Argonne chemist Stephen Pratt leads the Gas-Phase Chemical Dynamics Group at Argonne. His ...

Formula 1 will reduce the electric power element of engines in 2027 after tweaks to regulations introduced at last weekend's Miami Grand Prix were deemed a success. Team bosses, representatives of the ...
