Detailed analysis of iso-Pentanol combustion chemistry in flames
, 2013 In this study, two flames of iso-pentanol were stabilized on a 60-mm flat flame burner at a low pressure of 15 Torr and analyzed by a flame-sampling molecular-beam setup coupled to a mass spectrometer (MBMS).

Application of the first combustion model to spray combustion
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2004 Liquid fuel is of interest to apply to gas turbines. The large advantage is that liquids are easily storable as compared to gaseous fuels. Disadvantage is that liquid fuel has to be sprayed, vaporized and mixed with air. Combustion occurs at some stage of mixing and ignition.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We developed a new series of monomeric (MY) and dimeric acceptors incorporating unfused (DY1) and fused (DY2) linkers, which establish a controlled self‐aggregation trend of MY > DY2 > DY1. The DY2‐based system yields a bulk‐heterojunction nanoparticle morphology that appears to balance phase separation and interfacial accessibility, consistent with ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by the octopus and the golden wheel spider, soft robots with liquid crystal elastomer arc fibers as appendages are fabricated to transcend surface constraints through an elevated center of mass and minimal contact footprints. By leveraging curvature‐encoded deformation‐recovery cycles, these robots exhibit contractile, torsional, and flexural ...

Comparison of spray combustion for Jet-A and diesel in a constant volume chamber
, 2013 This work investigates the effect of ambient conditions on jet-A spray combustion in an optical constant volume combustion chamber. Based on the data of jet-A and diesel fuel data obtained from previous experiments, a comparison between jet-A and diesel ...

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.The gas‐phase decomposition of Al(acac)3 is investigated under inert, oxygen, and water‐containing conditions. Water is found to promote selective ligand removal and suppress hydrocarbon formation, while oxygen induces faster, less selective decomposition pathways.

Influence of Carbon Nanoparticles on Electrically Induced Wear of Grease‐Lubricated Steels
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.When an electric current enters a pair of rubbing surfaces, enormous damage takes place. In this research, how such damage occurs in the presence of protective grease and the mitigation with added carbon nanoparticles, were investigated. It was discovered that those particles regulate transport and interfacial electrical stability of the grease ...
