TL;DR: In this article, a brief review of the characteristics of the dual fuel engine of the compression ignition type and the combustion phenomena that bring about such characteristics is presented, operating with liquefied natural gas and under low intake temperature is also considered.

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic principles of detailed modeling as applied to combustion systems are discussed. But the authors do not discuss the application of detailed modelling to the simulation of reactive flow systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the relevance of data on laminar burning velocities, both from their value to industry and related research areas, and for the validation of theoretical chemical kinetic models, is discussed, as are certain fundamental problems associated with the measurement of this intrinsic property.

TL;DR: Soot formation is undesirable when it leads to environmental pollution or damages the performance of combustion equipment as mentioned in this paper, and the prevention of soot emission is an important constraint in the design and operation of combustion systems.

TL;DR: The main way of producing NOx in flames (the so-called Zel'dovich mechanism x) is relatively slow, the interaction between turbulence and chemical kinetics can be important as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the characteristics of hazardous material release and hazardous vapour generation for both refrigerated and pressurized liquid containment situations in both semi-refrigerated and refrigerated liquid containment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss how knowledge of fundamental mechanisms in coal combustion will aid in the design of p.f. combustion systems that allow for fuel variability and low pollutant emissions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a characteristic time model has been formulated to predict gaseous emissions and efficiency in terms of combustor inlet conditions and geometry for operating conditions where the fuel evaporation rate is fast compared to the fuel vapor/air mixing rate.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of stack gas treatment methods for the control of NOx emissions is presented, with particular emphasis on status of development and factors affecting the performance of the processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dual function of heat and fuel storage in hydrides is described for application in cars as well as for stationary use, and it is shown that hydride can act as electrochemically reversible storage electrodes in alkaline accumulators and as a means for isotope separation.

TL;DR: The importance of hydropyrolysis as a coal-to-liquid route is considered in this article, where yields of up to 15% w/w have been obtained from bituminous coal and lignite by using very rapid heating (∼ 1000 Ksec −1 ) to 1000-1100 K in hydrogen pressures in the range 100-200 bar at optimum vapour residence times.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the problem of estimating the ratio of the plane of the tilted collector to the insolation on the horizontal surface of the collector, where the ratio is defined as a function of the number of reflections on the collector's surface.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of definitions of types of fuel releases are given, followed by a description of the history of unconfined vapour cloud explosions and a predictive method for the estimated loss by explosion and fire from possible releases of fuel is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, Richardson et al. measured the number of air entrained per unit time in a plume and the relative relative air velocity relative to surrounding air to estimate the amount of entrained air in the plume.
