Unveiling the Toll of Fossil Fuel Combustion on Children’s Health and Subsequent Human Capital Loss
This paper summarizes the health effects of fossil fuel-driven air pollution and climate change on children and the consequent effect on human capital stemming from these early health damages.
Radar measurements can vastly improve a key technology for the energy and process industries
Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a high-frequency radar technique that can measure exactly what is happening inside a fluidized bed with unrivalled precision.
Fuel Flow, Heat Fluctuations Drive Dangerous Oscillations in Rocket Engines
Combustion engines can develop high frequency oscillations, leading to structural damage to and unsafe operating conditions. In Physics of Fluids, research clarifies the feedback processes that give rise to these oscillations. The investigators studied simulated combustion events in a computational model of a rocket combustor and their analysis involved sophisticated techniques, including symbolic dynamics and the use of complex networks to understand the transition into oscillatory behavior.
Key to Carbon-Free Cars? Look to the Stars
In a decade-long quest, scientists at Berkeley Lab, the University of Hawaii, and Florida International University uncover new clues to the origins of the universe – and land new chemistry for cleaner combustion engines
Argonne senior chemist Robert Tranter named fellow of the Combustion Institute
Argonne senior chemist Robert Tranter, a shockwave chemist, was named a fellow of the Combustion Institute.
Oregon State University wildfire expert available for interviews about wildfires in U.S. West
David Blunck, an associate professor of mechanical engineering Oregon State University, is an expert on the burning of live fuels, such as live trees and bushes. Blunck and his colleagues use a combination of lab work, modeling, and field studies…
Bacteria Can Defuse Dangerous Chemical In Passaic River
Bacteria that can help defuse highly toxic dioxin in sediments in the Passaic River – a Superfund hazardous waste site – could eventually aid cleanup efforts at other dioxin-contaminated sites around the world, according to Rutgers scientists. Their research, published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, needs further work to realize the full potential of the beneficial bottom-dwelling microbes.
