Flame Stabilisation Mechanism for Under-Expanded Hydrogen Jets

Fire
A hydrogen under-expanded jet released from a high-pressure vessel or equipment into the atmosphere through a 0.53 mm diameter orifice results in a sustained lifted flame for pressures above 4 MPa and flame blow-out at pressures below 3 MPa. Knowledge of

A New Paradigm for Understanding the Rheology and Processability of Poly(p‐Phenylene Terephthalamide) Liquid‐Crystalline Solutions

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 34, September 10, 2026.
Kevlar is traditionally modeled as a rigid‐rod polymer, yet rheological behavior deviates from this assumption. The review introduces a novel “twist‐tie” entanglement theory for aramid polymer chains in the nematic liquid crystal state, providing a molecular explanation for deviations from rigid‐rod models. Understanding twist‐tie entanglement dynamics

A Review of Flow Field and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Jet Impingement From Special‐Shaped Holes

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Special‐shaped nozzles and nanofluid integration enhance jet impingement cooling by improving heat transfer and thermal uniformity. However, gains are constrained by increased pressure drop and stability challenges, highlighting the need for optimized designs and multiscale modeling to achieve efficient, scalable thermal management.

Hydrogen‐Enriched Tri‐Fuel Combustion for Low‐Carbon Engines at Medium Engine Load: A Comprehensive CFD Analysis

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 4130-4151, September 2026.
CFD analysis of a diesel–CH4–H2 tri‐fuel engine shows that increasing hydrogen energy share (HES) enhances mixing and accelerates combustion, improving pressure, efficiency, and reducing CO and soot. At 60% HES, ISFC improves 26.2%, soot drops 95%, while NOx increases due to higher temperatures. ABSTRACT The global commitment to achieve net‐zero carbon
