Yellow Bell Seeds (Allamanda cathartica L.) Crude Extract as Fuel
Project Proposal
I. Problem:
This study aims to determine the possibility of using yellow bell seeds crude extract as fuel.
Specifically this aims to answer the following:
1. What is the effect of the Yellow Bell Seeds Crude Extract when used as fuel?
2. What is the difference between the yellow bell seeds crude extract as fuel and the commercial fuel?
II. Title:
Yellow Bell Seeds (Allamanda cathartica L.) Crude Extract as Fuel
III. Rationale:
Nowadays, fuels play an important role in our everyday life because they are used in homes, transport and industry for providing energy. Fuels serve as a major part of our energy requirement. They are the concentrated store of energy, which is related as heat when fuels are burnt. Fuels are combustible substances of organic origin or artificially obtained substances, which are used for producing heat and energy.
So the researcher was looking into the possibility of tapping other energy sources. The researcher made this “Yellow Bell Seeds (Allamanda cathartica L.) Crude Extract as Fuel.” Yellow bell (Allamanda ca-thartica L.) is a shrub cultivated as an ornamental plant for its beautiful, yellow bell-shaped flowers. Yellow bell seeds contain triolein, tripalmitin, and stearin.

IV. Materials
1. 300 mature Yellow Bell Seeds 5. Basin 9. Alcohol Lamp
2. Knife 6. Frying Pan
3. Strainer 7. Sterilized Bottle
4. Evaporating Dish 8. Mortar And Pestle
V. Procedures:
First, collect all the materials. Then, prepare all of it. To prepare the extract, gather, clean, and weigh the mature yellow bell fruits. Remove the pulps or outer coverings of the fruits to obtain the seeds. Open the shells of the seeds by means of cutting them through the center linings, thus separating the kernels or flesh from the shells. Ground the kernels by mechanical pressing, which originally contained moisture. Add water to the ground seeds. Strain the ground seeds with water using fine sieve cloth to separate the milk of the

    1.0 IntroductionBiodiesel is defined as mono-alky esters of long -chain fatty acid. It is a fuel that derived from the vegetable oils, animal fats, which is similar to the diesel fuel except that it is made from the crops. It is produced from domestically grown, renewable sources, such as crop oils or animal fats which are then chemically converted into biodiesel (Habmigren, 2003). Unlike diesel, biodiesel contains no petroleum products and free of sulfur compounds and aromatics (Habmigren, 2003). Until today, it is still the only alternative fuel for motor vehicle. The biodiesel blends have ranged from 2/98% (B2), 20/80% (B20), to 100% (B100) (Hafman, 2003). The reasons biodiesel is a viable alternative to diesel from fossil fuels for trucks and buses are it can reduce the pollution, it can enhance the country's economy, and it is renewable sources and can produce almost same energy as diesel fuels.…

    In the initial testing, it germinated three seeds within two days. Glucose also achieved these same results; however it was decided that hydrogen peroxide was more successful as the sprouts from its seeds, were longer and healthier. All other chemicals (Citric acid, Isopropyl alcohol, Hydrochloric acid) yielded no sprouts from the seeds. A 2% concentration of hydrogen peroxide was the most efficacious concentration where it germinated three seeds within two days. The least effective concentration of hydrogen peroxide was 6% which resulted in no sprouts from the…

    The purpose of this experiment was to compare biodiesel to other fuels. The ecotoxicity of biodiesel was estimated, along with that of other biofuels through the germination of seeds in the presence of different concentrations of fuels. This resulted in biodiesel having an average of 79.4% germinated seeds in a 10% solution of fuel, compared to other fuels whose percentage of germinated seeds decreased with higher concentrations of fuel. In addition, biodiesel was also synthesized and its heat of combustion was found through the use of calorimetry. The heat capacity for the calorimeter was based on the heat of combustion for ethanol, which was then used to determine the heat of combustion for biodiesel. The average heat of combustion for biodiesel was ∆Hcomb= -13090.83 kJ/mole, as opposed to the theoretical value of -11496.6 kJ/mole, which resulted in a 13.9% difference. Furthermore, taking into consideration the ecotoxicity of biodiesel, its effect on the environment, and fuel efficiency, biodiesel proved to be the more favorable fuel relative to the other fuels tested. The goal of the experiment was to compare and determine the advantages of using biodiesel as a fuel as opposed to other fuels.…

    Recently I have discovered an interesting fuel which humans use. It is a sludgy, black, gloopy liquid like fuel called “crude oil”. They have found it in many of the earth’s oceans and I believe it has come from many dead animals piling on top of each other but didn’t decay properly because of the anaerobic conditions making layers of rock. The heat of the rocks and the increased pressure turned the dead animals into crude oil. I have found out that they put crude oil into a machine and separate using an interesting method called fractional distillation.…
