Octane Rating Octane rating is a fuel’s ability to resist detonation and is classified by three main rating types. Octane rating is the measure of how resistant is gasoline and other fuels in the combustion engines to automatic ignition. It is the measure of a fuel’s burning characteristics. It is a standard measure of the performance of a motor or aviation fuel‚ the higher the octane number‚ the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating. In broad terms‚ fuels with a higher octane

Biofuels – Alternative and Renewable Sources of Energy - Modified from Source: http://biofuel.org.uk/ BIOMASS Biomass can be termed as organic material which is derived from living or more “recently deceased” organisms. The most important feature of biomass is that it is a renewable source of energy unlike other natural resources like coal‚ petroleum and even nuclear fuel. Biomass itself is a renewable energy source because we can always grow more trees and crops‚ and waste will always exist

P G student‚ 2 Assistant professor‚ Department of Mechanical Engineering‚ Oriental Institute Of science and technology‚ Bhopal‚ India ABSTRACT Crankshaft is one of the critical components for the effective and precise working of the internal combustion engine. In this paper a dynamic simulation is conducted on a crankshaft from a single cylinder 4- stroke diesel engine. A three-dimension model of diesel engine crankshaft is created using SOLID WORKS software. Finite element analysis (FEA) is

happen? RESEARCH Gasoline is obtained from petroleum in oil refineries‚ and used as fuel in combustion engines. It is made of over 250 types of hydrocarbons. Aromatic hydrocarbons like toluene and benzene are used to increase the octane rating of gasoline. Other additives are also added to improve engine performance and reduce the emission of harmful gasses formed as byproducts of the combustion process. Some hydrocarbons found in gasoline like benzene are carcinogenic. These hydrocarbons escape

Japan in 1997. Toyota and Honda introduced hybrid cars to the American markets in the beginning of 1999. Hybrid car are a combination of gasoline and electric powered car. Hybrid cars consist of a internal combustion engine that is small and fuel efficient. The hybrid cars internal combustion engine is assisted by the electric motor when the car is accelerating. The electric motor is generated by rechargeable batteries that automatically recharges when the car is being driven. The Toyota and Honda

Honda and Hybrid Electric Vehicles Honda was founded in Hamamatsu‚ Japan‚ by Soichiro Honda in 1946 as the Honda Technical Research Institute. The company began as a developer of engines for bicycles‚ but by 1949 it had produced its first motorcycle‚ called the Dream. In 1959‚ Honda entered the U.S. automobile and motorcycle market by opening the American Honda Motor Company. A few years later‚ in 1963‚ Honda released its first sports car‚ the S500‚ in Japan. Honda Motor Co. Inc. grew rapidly
