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 …

This paper critically reviews the theoretical and experimental literature regarding the
fundamental aspects of flames in nonvolatile solid fuel suspensions. Unlike volatile fuels that …

It is becoming widely recognized that our society must transition to low-carbon energy
systems to combat global climate change, and renewable energy sources are needed to …

This paper presents the results of experimental measurements of the laminar burning
velocity of iron-air-flames in a model tube burner. Carbonyl iron powder with an average …

The free propagation of isobaric flames through aluminum dust clouds is investigated in an
extensive series of experiments using two facilities with different scales. In small-scale …

A review of the literature on the methods for activation of the combustion of metallic fuels,
mainly boron-containing ones, as the promising components of composite propellants for …

Solid rocket motor has been widely used in space exploration because of its advantages
such as high energy density, compact structure and fast response etc., in which aluminum …

Experiments were conducted to determine the typical magnesium particle size effects on the
Mg–CO 2 Martian ramjet combustion characteristic. It was carried out at a mainstream mass …

Nano-sized aluminum dust is quite attractive in the application scenarios with limited
residence time. This study simulated an aluminum nanoparticle-air jet flame in a burner that …
