Example of micro fibers produced with 20 wt % AB (ammonia borane) in water as core solution, showing smooth (nonporous) and cylindrical (noncollapsed) fibers; from a 2010 paper by the scientific team. It also protects the hydrides from oxygen and water, making it possible to handle it in air. Credit: ACS, Kurban et al.

Dearman-led consortium awarded $3.1M to develop waste-heat-recovery system using liquid air engine

Green Car Congress

The Dearman Engine process involves the heat being introduced to the cryogenic fluid (liquid air or nitrogen) through direct contact heat exchange with a heat exchange fluid (HEF) (water and glycol) inside the engine. The HEF facilitates extremely rapid rates of heat transfer within the engine. Earlier post. ).

A New Wildfire Watchdog

Cars That Think

Just thinking about the crew of people needed to tramp around to change all those batteries is exhausting, and to actually do it would be prohibitively expensive and impractical. Matthew Modoono/Northeastern University. At the University of Texas at Dallas , Siavash Pourkamali's group has taken a different approach.

Will an EV-Filled World Pass The Sulfuric Acid Test?

Cars That Think

In 1894, a German chemist named Herman Frasch plotted a process of tapping a sulfur-containing mineral deposit by pumping it with superheated water. By the 1950s, the world had exhausted the most easily available sulfur deposits. Jean-Michel Lavoie, University of Sherbrooke In swept the fossil fuel industry’s waste to save the day.

Study explores impact of alcohol-gasoline blends with early inlet valve closing at low and moderate loads on EGR tolerance

Green Car Congress

A team from Brunel University, MAHLE Powertrain and University College London studied the combined effects of different inlet valve operating strategies on combustion, performance and emissions with different ethanol and 1-butanol blends with gasoline in a single-cylinder spark-ignition research engine equipped with a fully variable valvetrain.
