Some fuels are better than others at releasing energy during combustion reactions. The energy released (sometimes called enthalpy) is calculated using the following equation: \({E_h} = cm\Delta T ...

Through a series if small steps, free energy is released from sugar and stored in carrier molecules in the cell (ATP and NADH, not shown). On the right, the direct burning of sugar requires a ...

The Deuterium (D) – Tritium (T) reaction has the largest cross section (in other words, the probability of a reaction to take place) and also the largest Q-value (the released energy of a reaction) of ...
