An article by Oliver Welz, Judit Zádor, John D. Savee, Leonid Sheps, David L. Osborn, and Craig A. Taatjes, “Low-temperature combustion chemistry of n-butanol: Principal oxidation pathways of hydroxybutyl radicals,” was among the top 20 most-cited articles for the Journal of Physical Chemistry A for the month of July. In this paper, the CRF researchers…
Tom Settersten, manager of the Combustion Chemistry and Diagnostics Department, chaired the biennial Laser Diagnostics in Combustion Gordon Research Conference, held August 11–16 in New Hampshire. Former CRF manager, Mark Linne (now director of the Combustion Engine Research Center at Chalmers University, Gothenburg, Sweden), who was vice-Chair for this meeting, will chair the next conference…
by Magnus Sjöberg Given their potential to address issues related to limited petroleum reserves and accelerating global climate change, renewable fuels and improved engine efficiency are receiving significant research attention. Specifically, researchers are exploring the challenges of developing engines that can operate efficiently on alternative fuels, while offering high performance and low emissions. At Sandia’s…
