Recently, a research group led by Prof. Gao Xiaoming and Prof. Liu Kun from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), developed a concentration-independent ...

In the face of ever-tightening emissions regulations, the world's car manufacturers are finding innovative ways to cut fuel consumption. In its quest for greater fuel efficiency, Audi has developed a ...

A new X-ray technique to measure temperatures in combustion flames could lead to cleaner biofuels. Understanding the dynamics of combustion of biofuels—fuels made from plants, algae or animal waste—is ...

To determine the total protein content in food materials, it is typically necessary to determine a measurement of the total nitrogen content in the sample first, and calculate protein using a factor ...

This figure illustrates the "scale-free" nature of the turbulence network during spray combustion instability. (A) The spatial distribution of node strength reveals highly connected hubs (red regions) ...

Although car manufacturers are embracing alternative power sources, they haven't given up on internal combustion just yet. Along with a push towards downsized turbo power, some of the smartest ...

Researchers have developed a new method for capturing the complex behavior of turbulent flames produced during combustion. Insights provided by this high-speed 3D imaging approach could be used to ...
