@siddharth3 Add this to the xkcd satire too - use of lakhs/crores with scientific quantities, eg 3 lakh Pascals as opposed to 300,000 Pascals or 0.3 MPa. It takes me a while to get my bearings right

@FxLabStanford @wt_chung This is awesome! Quick question before I email this to my lab members - do prospective participants need to pay anything?

🤢It identified a culture where Tessier-Lavigne “tended to reward the ‘winners’ (that is, postdocs who could generate favorable results) and marginalize or diminish the ‘losers’ (that is, postdocs who were unable or struggled to generate such data).”

@tlieuwen1 @EPRINews With MW-scale Internal Comb. Engines it is very hard to get NOx below 1 g/kWh (or 278 ng/J) without cat. converters. This paper's results imply that GT emissions are an order of mag. below ICE! Its nice that the paper plots in units that enables such a comparison

@ProfessorTanvir This is strange indeed and I fully emphasize with you. The rejections I have experienced and heard of are typically because “its too broad”. The problem here is that people who reject don’t offer the real reason but randomly seem to choose from a roster of boilerplates

This is puzzling at the very least. For CH4 to end up as C6H6 you need some serious fuel upgrading chemistry going on, with uncharacteristically fuel rich flames, implying gross fuel waste. In which case the stoves can simply be tuned (change the hole sizes)

"With one burner on high or the oven at 350°, benzene levels in a house can be worse than average levels for second-hand tobacco smoke. And they found the toxin doesn't just stay in the kitchen, it can migrate to other places, such as bedrooms."

Its amazing when peer reviewed research influences policy makers and legislation! The other example I can immediately think of is Lina Khan’s anti-trust paper on Amazon in 2017. She is the chair of the FTC in the US now

The European Union officially adopts a clean hydrogen definition, grounded on the "Three Pillars" assessed in @wilson_ricks & my paper (https://t.co/tl2et2jcqV):

1. New supply
2. Deliverability
3. Hourly matching.

The US must follow suit and adopt rules at least as stringent.

Spinning space flames! 🔥

This SoFIE-GEL experiment run shows a flame appearing to spin itself into extinction. Scientists speculate this is because it's the most effective way the flame can consume oxygen in a low-oxygen environment. https://t.co/yoLO3bKFd6

@A_J_Higgins @Andercot @junopropulsion For air breathing applications, Sousa, Paniagua and Morata in 2017 showed that the pressure gain benefits are not that sustainable when other system components are included

The problem is even worse than you think because when HVAC people say “BTU” they actually meant “BTU/hr” which drove me nuts for a while

[slinky vagabond 🌲🔩☕️🦉🌻 @83dollaroring]

engineers tell me what are some weird freakass units extremely particular to your specific field? american jet propulsion still does a lot of thermodynamics in english units like BTU and slugs, i think HVAC homies also use BTU

@AddisonKStark Not only do these endeavors not provide any value, they sometimes make it worse. eg. morons who bring in generating ‘bitcoin’ to energy/climate solutions

@GuillermoRein Add to this list that their gross margins are higher than Apple, Microsoft etc, for simply generating a PDF. Its practically extortion..

@KeithDPatch @TFIE1 @cleantechnica @enginexyz @GreentownLabs @ElectronComm @AndreasenJack @BrosForDecarb @ANativeAngeleno @chemical_ben @Jared_TH2 @DickWinchester @GutoOwenH2 Nice and informative article ! I would nuance the red flag around‘starting with product.. vs market’. The whole point of product market fit is to find the right market when one is in a technology-push setting. So sometimes its okay to start with a product
