模擬燃料

????燃料燃燒背后的公式很難從微觀層面理解。研究燃燒的科學(xué)家必須依靠猜測,。借助泰坦,，科學(xué)家們可以模擬酒精和丁醇等相對簡單的燃料燃燒的化學(xué)反應(yīng)。但是,，由于汽油和生物柴油是復(fù)雜的燃料——它們內(nèi)部分子結(jié)構(gòu)更長,，因此較難模擬——將需要越來越強大的超級計算機來分析它們。

Future fuel

????The equations behind burning fuel are extremely difficult to understand on the micro-scale. Scientists studying combustion must rely on guesswork. With Titan, scientists can model the chemical reactions for combustion of relatively simple fuels like alcohol and butanol. But because gasoline and biodiesels are complex fuels -- the molecules inside are longer and thus trickier to model -- more and more powerful supercomputers will be required to parse them.
