Combustion instability sustained by unsteady vortex combustion [PDF]
The determination of an internal feedback mechanism which leads to combustion instability inside a small scale laboratory combustor is presented in this paper. During combustion instability, the experimental findings show that a large vortical structure

Investigation into background levels of small organic samples at the NERC Radiocarbon Laboratory [PDF]
Recent progress in preparation/combustion of submilligram organic samples at our laboratories is presented. Routine methods had to be modified/refined to achieve acceptable and consistent procedural blanks for organic samples smaller than 1000 g C.

Combustion of Fractal Distributions [PDF]
The advantages of introducing a fractal viewpoint in the field of combustion is emphasized. It is shown that the condition for perfect combustion of a collection of drops is the self-similarity of the distribution.

Chaotic Combustion in Spark Ignition Engines [PDF]
We analyse the combustion process in a spark ignition engine using the experimental data of an internal pressure during the combustion process and show that the system can be driven to chaotic behaviour. Our conclusion is based on the observation of unperiodicity in the time series, suitable stroboscopic maps and a complex structure of a reconstructed ...

European Shock-Tube for High-Enthalpy Research Combustion Driver Qualification [PDF]
The ESTHER shock tube is a new state-of-the-art facility at Instituto Superior T\'ecnico designed to support future ESA planetary exploration missions. Its driver is a high-pressure combustion chamber using a mixture of He:H2:O2 ignited by a high-power Nd:YAG laser.

This research utilizes selective reduction laser sintering (SRLS) to engineer In2O3 NPs for flexible NO2 sensors. The introduction of oxygen vacancy defects enhances sensor performance, offering excellent responsiveness, rapid response/recovery, superior selectivity, low detection limit, and long‐term stability.

Free Energy and Internal Combustion Engine Cycles [PDF]
The performance of one type (Carnot) of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) cycle is analyzed within the framework of thermodynamic free energies. ICE performance is different from that of an External Combustion Engine (ECE) which is dictated by Carnot's rule.

Optical Hydrogen Sensing Materials for Applications at Sub‐Zero Temperatures
This study demonstrates the viability of optical hydrogen sensors at temperatures as low as −60°C. Using advanced metal hydride materials, the sensors detect hydrogen with high sensitivity, speed, and stability across a wide range of concentrations. These findings open doors for safe hydrogen detection in extreme cold, enabling applications in aviation,
