Flow and combustion in disc and pent-roof SI engines [PDF]
, 2006 Reported in this thesis is a study of combustion in a disc-shaped combustion chamber spark ignition engine, and in-cylinder flow and combustion in an idealised pent-roof spark ignition engine. Both engines were skip fired, to remove residuals and ensure

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Managing wildfire risk requires consideration of complex and uncertain scientific evidence as well as trade‐offs between different values and goals. Conflicting perspectives on what values and goals are most important, what ought to be done and what trade‐offs are acceptable complicate those decisions.

Development of NMP‐001, A Nitromethane‐Based Green Propellant
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper discusses the development of a model monopropellant that is aimed at exploring the applicability of nitromethane‐based propellants as an alternative to hydrazine. This approach addresses the challenges faced by HAN‐, ADN‐based propulsion by being more cost‐effective while providing similar performance figures.
