Alkanes, an important component of fuels for combustion engines and an important class of urban trace gases, react via another reaction pathways than previously thought. These hydrocarbons ...

Complete combustion of alkenes produces carbon dioxide and water, provided there is a plentiful supply of oxygen. Incomplete combustion of alkenes occurs where oxygen is limited and produces water ...

Under combustion conditions, the team also observed alkanes that had undergone up to five sequential O2 additions, significantly higher than the three additions they observed previously.

Since the combustion efficiency of n-alkane gas differs from that of branched alkane gas, the compound developed by this study is expected to serve as a sensor material for purity of gasoline.

“The ability to enhance mechanical energy output from an internal combustion engine is groundbreaking,” said Mathew Zuckerman, president and CEO of Alkane. “The internal combustion engine of today ...
