Flame temperature measurement is a cornerstone in the study of combustion processes, with significant implications for both efficiency optimisation and environmental impact reduction. Recent ...

A new X-ray technique to measure temperatures in combustion flames could lead to cleaner biofuels. Understanding the dynamics of combustion of biofuels — fuels made from plants, algae or animal waste ...

In the petrochemical and mining sectors, combustible gases create hazards of fire and explosion. Flame arresters, to prevent such disasters rely on heat loss or radical quenching to function. Channel ...

The answer could be a few different reasons. Your breath has a lot of carbon dioxide. When you blow, the carbon dioxide pushes oxygen out of the way and the flame goes out. Your breath blows away some ...
