Researchers from Skoltech have published a paper in the journal Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena presenting an analysis of steady propagating combustion waves—from slow flames to supersonic detonation ...

A method to successfully predict pressure-dependent chemical reaction rates has been demonstrated by scientists for the first time. It’s an important breakthrough in combustion and atmospheric ...

The Christmas tree, that staple of holiday merriment, seems like it would be a prime source of home fires. For instance, Christmas trees contain some flammable compounds, as well as plenty of organic ...

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

This module connects ideas across topics in a first semester introductory chemistry course to explore the impacts of combustion reactions. By motivating students to understand the relationship between ...

When a combustion reaction takes place energy is released to the combustion products. If no heat is lost in this process, the temperature of the combustion products is known as the "Adiabatic Flame ...

Chemours senior chemist Leo Lech used lycopodium powder to create a combustion reaction during a Washington Works Fun with Science presentation Friday at Madison Elementary School in Parkersburg.

If the reaction takes place at constant volume, no work is done and application of the first law indicates that the energy release, Q v, is the change in the internal energy of the system: Q v = (DU) ...

C &EN recently invited bloggers to write posts about their favorite chemical reactions. We received some two dozen posts from seasoned chemistry bloggers and fledgling writers alike, singing the ...
