TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of spray combustion in rocket engine, gas turbine, diesel engine and industrial furnace applications, highlighting the need for improved injector characterization methods, more information of droplet transport characteristics in turbulent flow and continued development of more complete two-phase turbulent models.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is demonstrated that perturbation to the flame by sampling probes that permit detection of highly reactive species can be made acceptably small by using molecular beam sampling techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, the Boltzmann constant upper level / absorbing or emitting path length lower level lower level K constant m mass M transition moment was used to calculate the transition probability in absorption.

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized model for a flame propagating in laminar, premixed particle-gas mixtures was formulated, assuming particlegas dynamic equilibrium and uniform pressure, and the unsteady state equations were solved numerically using finite-difference techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental techniques that have been devised for measuring drop size distributions in sprays are reviewed and the limitations of each technique are identified in order to assess which are potentially useful in the high density sprays produced by large oil burner atomisers.

TL;DR: The search for geothermal fluids draws on techniques from hydrogeology, geochemistry and geophysics, the same techniques as applied to the search for cold waters, together with some specific methods connected with the underground thermal conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the characteristics of the combustion reactions with special attention to the unusual properties of cool flames, and investigated such kinetic and thermochemical data as were available on alkyl radical-oxygen reactions.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of temperature change in sampling probes on particle formation and chemical analysis of samples are discussed, taking into account sampling methods, the effect of sampling probes, and the chemical analyses of samples.

TL;DR: In this article, the main combustion problem is the increasing difficulty of avoiding the emission of soot, and the relative ability of power plants to completely burn out the soot formed in the early stages of combustion will be an important selection criterion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the most attractive approaches for improved preparation and distribution of the fuel-air mixture with respect to future fuels such as alcohol/gasoline blends and other alcohol fuels are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the fundamentals of combustion relevant to the burning of natural gas and describe the stability of laminar diffusion flames and aerated flames, and the normal burning velocity is a useful combustion parameter characterizing the overall reaction rate.
