Internal combustion engines are everywhere, yet they are not a common sight. They power most cars and motorcycles by combusting a fossil fuel like petroleum (although these vehicles are slowly being ...

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 ...

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) ...

This combustion concept is characterised by the injection of air-fuel mixtures into the combustion chamber in the form of jets with high flow velocities. The arrangement of the jets results in a ...
