issue is becoming significant all over the world due to increasing power demand‚ instability of the rising oil prices and environmental problems caused by humans. Among the various renewable energy sources‚ fuel cell technology has received great attention as an alternative to the conventional way of getting energy due to its high efficiency‚ clean operation and cost efficient supply of power demanded by the consumers. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells technology plays a leading role for many

Fossil Fuels Have you ever thought about where your electricity comes from? What the petroleum your car runs on is made of? What produces all the energy you see? Coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas make up the list of major fossil fuels. Almost all energy produced in the United States comes from burning these highly important fuels. That energy powers almost all of our electricity and all of our transportation. We as the people of this very planet are currently in a crisis because fossil fuels are non-renewable;

Energy and Fossil Fuels January 30‚ 2012 I will be covering different types of energy and how they are converted into other forms of energy. I will also discuss what fossil fuels are‚ alternatives to fossil fuels and the advantages and disadvantages of alternatives. There are several different forms of energy and how it can be converted from one type to another. According to The Law of Conservation of Energy; energy can neither be created or destroyed‚ only transferred

FUEL CELL CARS Fuel Cell cars are a major part of the fleet of Zero-Emission Vehicles. The fuel cells are fueled with pure hydrogen and hence they are considered to be zero emission vehicles. Fuel cells have been used on spacecraft for many years to power electric equipment. These are fueled with liquid hydrogen from the spacecraft ’s rocket fuel tanks. Basic Mechanics Fuel cell vehicles turn hydrogen fuel and oxygen into electricity. The electricity then powers an electric motor‚ just like

FUEL OIL BURNERS By Mark Butterfield March 09 INTRODUCTION The history of burners dates back to the early shipping days‚ when fuel oil first started replacing coal as the ships’ primary fuel source. Since then‚ burner designs and construction have come a long way‚ but the principles behind their operation has remained the same. All makes and types of burners have two things in common They need to atomise the fuel They need to mix the fuel with the air needed for combustion

evaluate ethanol as a fuel‚ the experiments are Fermentation and Calorimetry. Fermentation will find the best combination of sugar and yeast for optimum ethanol production and the Calorimetry experiments test ethanol against other alcohols and fuels to see how it matches up in terms of energy production. Fermentation shows glucose and baker’s yeast as the fastest producers of ethanol and the calorimetry proves that ethanol and other alcohols produce more heat energy than other fuels. Introduction
