Combustion

Tipos de gases producidos en la combustión y sus consecuencias. Energias renovables. Energías contaminantes. Combustibles. Los gases emitidos por un motor de combustión interna de gasolina son, principalmente, de dos tipos: inofensivos y contaminantes. Los primeros están formados, fundamentalmente, por Nitrógeno, Oxígeno, Dióxido de Carbono, vapor de agua e Hidrógeno. Los segundos o contam

The research will focus on providing new insights into interactions

Dual-mode combustion engine for enhanced flexibility :While cruising range is a significant consideration to consumers in any car, BMW recognizes that it is of critical importance in a hydrogen-powered vehicle, because there is not yet a full network of hydrogen filling stations in the United States. For precisely this reason, the BMW Hydrogen 7 features dual-mode drive technology and a combustion engine capable of running on both hydrogen and gasoline. The cruising range in the hydrogen mode is more than 125 miles, with another 300 miles in the gasoline mode. Thus, the driver of a BMW Hydrogen 7 is able to use the vehicle without problem even when the nearest hydrogen filling station is far away. The BMW Hydrogen 7 clearly proves that liquid hydrogen may by all means be used as a source o

Homeowners are continuing to look for ways to burn down the home before it gets foreclosed on. The best way is to make it look as much like an accident as possible but insurance companies are not dumb. This report from CNN shows the consequences of solving late payments with a match. As the report states, [...]

In Arlington, Texas, they put wood chips under the play equipment at the school. Well, now they are going to have to replace it with pea gravel because the wood chips seem to be prone to spontaneous combustion. You heard me, spontaneous combustion! I don't know about you, but just the idea of spontaneous combustion in itself is enough to give me the giggles. It always has and I suppose it always will because it seems I have yet to grow up. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Who wants to grow up? But getting back to my point… Apparently, all of the rain we have had this year caused the wood chips to start decomposing and the hot dry weather we are having now caused them to go "poof!" up in smoke. If you are interested in seeing the fire, here is a link to the surveillance video that caught the whole thing. “Officials say” that compost that hasn’t been turned is also prone to spontaneous combustion. Who knew you could have your very own spontaneous combustion

A 61-year-old mentally handicapped woman burst into flames in her kitchen. "Her father, who was seated at a nearby table, said he saw a flash of light out of the corner of his eye and turned ... to find that she was enveloped in flames, mainly around her face and hands." The fire was put out with water by Mr. Saffin and his son-in-law. No cause of the fire was found.The father and son-in-law claim the fire lasted only a minute or two. Spontaneous human combustion (SHC) is the alleged process of a human body catching fire as a result of heat generated by internal chemical or nuclear action. Theories about Spontaneous Human Combustion- Alchoholism - many Spontaneous Human Combustion vicitms have been alcoholics. But experiments in the 19th century demonstrated that flesh impregnated with alcohol will not burn with the intense heat associated with Spontaneous Human Combustion.- Deposits of flammable body fat - Many victims have been overweight - yet others have been skinny.- Devine Interv

Turbulent CombustionBy Norbert Peters * Publisher: Cambridge University Press * Number Of Pages: 304 * Publication Date: 2000-01-15 * Sales Rank: 468965 * ISBN / ASIN: 0521660823 * EAN: 9780521660822 * Binding: Hardcover * Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press * Studio: Cambridge University Press * Average Rating: * Total Reviews:Book Description:The combustion of fossil fuels remains a key technology for the foreseeable future. It is therefore important to understand combustion mechanisms, in particular, the role of turbulence within this process. This monograph presents a thorough introduction to the field of turbulent combustion. After an overview of modeling approaches, Peters considers the three distinct cases of premixed, nonpremixed, and partially premixed combustion, respectively. By demonstrating the current theories of turbulent combustion within a cohesive presentation, this book makes a unified contribution to engineering and applied mathe

International Combustion Became Debt Free, Margins ImprovedThe revenues of International Combustion India Ltd (ICIL) grew by 15.6% year on year (yoy) to Rs24.1 crore in Q4FY2007. The revenues of the heavy engineering division (HED) grew by 24.8% yoy to Rs18.4 crore while that of the geared motor and geared box division (GMGBD) declined by 5.1% yoy to Rs5.9 crore. However, on a sequential basis the GMGBD's top line grew by 61.2%.The operating profit margin (OPM) of the company improved by 280 basis points yoy to 20.3% in Q4FY2007, in line with our estimates. The margin expansion was driven by a lower raw material cost as the raw material cost as a percentage of sales ratio declined to 51% from 56.3% yoy. Consequently, the operating profit grew by 34.6% to Rs4.9 crore.The margin of the HED improved by a whopping 1,340 basis points yoy to 32.6% while that of the GMGBD declined by 1,800 basis points to 14.7%. The GMGBD's margin declined largely because the company started manufacturing t

How Spontaneous Human Combustion WorksSpontaneous human combustion (SHC) is the alleged burning of a person's body without a readily apparent, identifiable external source of ignition. The combustion may result in simple burns and blisters to the skin, smoking, or a complete incineration of the body. The latter is the form most often 'recognized' as SHC. There is much speculation and controversy over SHC. It is not a proven natural occurrence, but many theories have attempted to explain SHC's existence and how it may occur. The two most common explanations offered to account for apparent SHC are the non-spontaneous "wick effect" fire, and the rare discharge called static flash fires. Although mathematically it can be shown that the human body contains enough energy stored in the form of fat and other tissues to consume it completely, in normal circumstances bodies will not sustain a flame on their own.History of Spontaneous Human CombustionMany people believe that Spontaneous Human

Book Description This second edition of the classic on the thermochemistry of combustion now features five new chapters and updated coverage of significant recent developments in the field. Addressing both experimental as well as theoretical aspects, the book covers the thermochemical and combustion characteristics of all important types of energetic materials, such as explosives, propellants,

Book Description In the past several decades, combustion has evolved from a scientific discipline that was largely empirical to one that is quantitative and predictive. These advances are characterized by the canonical formulation of the theoretical foundation, the strong interplay between theory, experiment, and computation, and the unified description of the roles of fluid mechanics and

Green Car Congress reports on a recent test of the Merritt Unthrottled Spark Ignition Combustion (MUSIC) engine by Powertrain Technologies. "MUSIC is an un-throttled, high thermal efficiency, lean-burn, spark ignition system that uses an indirect combustion chamber to produce charge stratification by means of controlled air management" the unelected reporters reveal.
