This module uses transportation fuels as the theme to connect the organic concepts of hydrocarbon structure, intramolecular forces and physical properties to green and sustainable chemistry. The ...

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 ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 251, No. 1265 (May 26, 1959), pp. 265-273 (9 pages) Studies have been made of the extent and mechanism of ...

When we burn fuels like petroleum during combustion to power our cars, we produce carbon dioxide as a waste product that is released into the atmosphere. But what if we could reverse the process, and ...

THE publication in NATURE of July 7, p. 19, of Mr. A. C. Egerton's recent Royal Institution discourse on “Engine Knock and Related Problems,” following upon Prof. H. L. Callendar's paper on the same ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have discovered a method to selectively burn a single molecule within a mixture of hydrocarbons—compounds composed of ...

Flares are open combustion devices for burning off waste and unwanted gas, crucial for emergency pressure relief across petroleum processes across upstream and downstream sectors. The purpose of ...

A research team has developed one of the world's fastest single-shot laser cameras, which is at least a thousand times faster than today's most modern equipment for combustion diagnostics. The ...

We talk increasingly about “critical minerals,” sources for elements spanning the periodic table that are vital, considered to be strategically important, and for which substitutes are very difficult ...

(Beyond Pesticides, May 21, 2025) An assessment of the fire hazards of four herbicide products in Science of The Total Environment finds high fire and toxic gas emission risk, particularly in ...
