The combustion chamber is first precooled by the methane flowing through it. This causes humidity in the air to condense and ice to form on the combustion chamber. The cooling starts in the nozzle ...

This novel design allows for the even mixing of oxygen and methane and provides time for the combustion to occur before crosswinds can affect it. This design is key to the burner's efficiency.

The idea seems counterintuitive: after all, methane, the major component of natural gas, has been demonized by environmentalists for being a potent greenhouse gas. But a synthetic version could ...

Methane hydrates occur in five geographic settings ... of the intermediate waters that impinge on the upper continental slope leads to complete dissociation of the gas hydrate zone, originally ...
