Thermochemical Analysis of Hypergolic Propellants Based on Triethylaluminum/Nitrous Oxide by Stephen M. Davis, Nadir Yilmaz

“…The vacuum specific impulse of neat TEA with N2O is comparable to that of nitric acid with the same, but the N2O formulation will produce slightly less solid products during combustion. Additionally, N2O-TEA propellants have vacuum specific impulses and density vacuum specific impulses within 92.9% and 86.7% of traditional hydrazine propellant formulations under stoichiometric conditions.…”

Can economic policy be praised for its environmental policy in the field of transportation? by Rasto Ovin, Žarko Nestorović, Tomaž Geršak

“…According to EU documents, starting in 2035, the production of cars with internal combustion engines will cease. This has two main economic consequences for car users: firstly, they will be compelled to purchase electric vehicles, accepting higher entry costs for new vehicles with the same level of utility they have been accustomed to. …”

Production of pyrolytic carbon from waste of rubber-containing products for use in foundry by A. S. Panasyugin, V. S. Niss, N. P. Masherova

“…It was found that the concentration and temperature of the exhaust gases make it possible to neutralize them in an autocatalytic mode using the principle of filtration combustion. It is shown that the optimal temperature for obtaining a solid carbonaceous residue (target product) is 320–380 °C, an increase in temperature above 500 °C leads to a decrease in the mass fraction of pyrolytic carbon from 64.8 to 31.9 %, respectively, the proportion of exhaust gases increases from 5 to 8 %, and heating oil yield from 30.2 to 60.1 %.…”
