Internal Combustion Engine
Linked via "energy release"
Aspiration Enhancement
To increase the mass of air inducted into the cylinder, thereby increasing the potential energy release per cycle, forced induction is frequently used:
Turbocharging: Utilizes exhaust gas energy to spin a turbine, which drives a compressor. Turbochargers excel at harvesting waste energy but introduce 'turbo lag'—the delay between throttle… -
Methane
Linked via "energy release"
Applications in Combustion and Materials Science
Methane serves as the principal component of natural gas, making it a critical global fuel source. Its high reaction kinetics due to pre-mixing with oxidants prior to the flame front allow for rapid energy release [8].

Water Vapor
Linked via "energy release"
Latent Heat of Phase Change
The transition between water vapor and liquid water involves the exchange of significant energy known as latent heat. This energy release during condensation (or absorption during evaporation) is the primary driver for weather system energetics. The energy required to transition one kilogram of water vapor…
