combustion equation
Study of the combustion equation for the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon applied to engine pollution control. Find out more: forum on combustion We start from the generic formula for complete combustion of Alkanes: CnH (2n + 2) + (3n + 1) / 2 * (O2 + 3.76N2) -> nCO2 + (n + 1) H2O + (3n + 1 ) /2*3.76N2 1) Volume study of the complete combustion equation: Considering the exhaust gases […]
The Arctic is melting ... and this worries the Senate
At a recent meeting of the Arctic Council, it was found that, in relation to a significant increase in winter temperatures (nearly 4ºC for Alaska, western Canada and eastern Russia) , the Arctic thaw is proving to be very pronounced. It is thus now feared by scientists that the continuation of […]
Wastewater as a source of energy
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University successfully tested a bacterial fuel cell that produced 72 watts per square meter of current from wastewater. Similar in design to the hydrogen fuel cell (two electrodes separated by a proton exchange membrane), the device […]
Aeolian and local climate impact
Scientists have used the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) atmospheric model to assess the impact that a large number of wind turbines could have on the climate of the Great Plains. Somnath Baidya Roy, of Princeton University (New Jersey), and his colleagues simulated the presence of a park of 10000 giant wind turbines with blades of 50 meters […]

The technology building official
The US Green Building Council has set up - with some success - a program called LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), intended to label building professionals using new materials and technologies to meet certain energy and environmental criteria. Since its launch at the start of the year, this initiative has seen accreditation […]
Mondial auto, green communication, complacent press and… nothing in fact!
Mondial auto, green communication, complacent press and… nothing in fact! - by Zorro on 14/11/2004 / 18:58 At the bi-annual big mass of the Paris Auto World 2004, all the specialized press (or not!) Were there: 1 visitors in slight increase and especially 460 journalists including 803% foreign) […]
Pantone project: let us unite!
Because without real means of development an engine R&D project cannot move forward, why not unite in order to make it move faster? This is the idea that I recently launched among the “Pantone” community: pooling our material and financial resources, knowledge and skills to obtain real resources […]
Caring about the Pantone
Because without real means of development, an engine R&D project cannot advance rapidly, why not unite in order to make it evolve more quickly? This is the idea that I recently launched among the “Pantone” community: to pool our knowledge and skills, our material resources, and why not financial, for […]
