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) ...

Rocket combustion and heat transfer dynamics encompass a range of interlinked phenomena critical to the design and operation of modern rocket engines. The combustion process involves rapidly reacting ...

Two-dimensional computations of premixedcharge engine combustion were made using the KIVA-II code. The purpose of the study was to assess the influence of heat transfer and turbulence model boundary ...

In this video from PASC18, Saumil Patel from Argonne describes his poster: A low-Mach simulation of flow and heat transfer in a motored internal combustion engine using the spectral element method. A ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 113, Section 3: JOURNAL OF ENGINES (2004), pp. 1790-1798 (9 pages) The effect of local lubricant viscosity on the temperature and thickness of oil film on a piston ring in a ...

Flow velocity in the fuel/oxidizer injectors and combustion chamber during combustion oscillations in a model of a rocket engine. (Courtesy: Hiroshi Gotoda) Researchers in Japan have identified a ...

Out of the 8.9 million barrels of gasoline consumed daily in the U.S. on average, only 1.8 million gallons, or approximately 20 percent, actually propel an internal combustion vehicle forward. The ...
