TL;DR: In this article, a metal-fuelled zero-carbon heat engine is proposed for power generation in which metal fuels are burned with air in a combustor to provide clean, high-grade heat.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the current state of knowledge of both low-temperature and high-tremeperature metal-water reactions and propose several applications of high temperature metal water combustion that allow the full chemical energy within the metal fuel to be harnessed, including high speed air-breathing engines and high power, compact, low emissions power generation systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified Bunsen burner with two different oxidizing environments was used to study flame structures and particle combustion regimes in hybrid fuel mixtures of methane and iron using laser attenuation.

TL;DR: In this article, a premixed methane-air Bunsen flame is seeded with increasing concentrations of micron-size aluminum powder, and scanning emission spectroscopy is used to determine the flame temperature via both the continuous and aluminum monoxide spectra.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple thermophysical approach that considers ideal, nonvolatile fuel particles undergoing heterogeneous reaction controlled by a combination of diffusion and kinetic rates is used to describe the combustion behavior in suspensions of refractory metal-fuel particles.
