Metal particles are attractive candidate fuels for various propulsion and energy-conversion
applications, primarily due to their high energy densities. Micron-sized particles present …

Metal fuels, as recyclable carriers of clean energy, are promising alternatives to fossil fuels
in a future low-carbon economy. Fossil fuels are a convenient and widely-available source …

Nanofluids are described as a relatively new kind of colloidal solutions with a particle size
smaller than one billionth of a meter (1–100 nm) suspended in the base fluid so as to …

A general theory of ignition and combustion of nano-and micron-sized aluminum particles is
developed. The oxidation process is divided into several stages based on phase …

Nano aluminum particles have received considerable attention in the combustion
community; their physicochemical properties are quite favorable as compared with those of …

The combustion of molten metals is an important area of study with applications ranging
from solid aluminized rocket propellants to fireworks displays. This work uses digital in-line …

Thermogravimetry was used to study the oxidation of aluminum powders at elevated
temperatures. Aluminum powders of various particle sizes and surface morphologies were …

The combustion of aluminum particle dust in a laminar air flow is theoretically studied under
fuel-lean conditions. A wide range of particle sizes at nano and micron scales is explored …

To evaluate the inhibition capacity of NaHCO 3 and NH 4 H 2 PO 4 on the flame in
aluminum dust explosions, the inhibition of 5 μm and 30 μm aluminum dust explosions by …

Several aluminum nanopowders were examined and compared with the final goal to
evaluate their application in solid rocket propulsion. A detailed investigation of pre-burning …
