Determination of the Calorific Value of Fuels Aim: To quantify the amount of energy produced by different fuels and to determine which fuel is more efficient (has a higher calorific value). Introduction: The easiest way to achieve our aim is by heating a substance with a known specific heat capacity and using the energy released from burning our fuels. This will give us the value of the heat energy released by the combustion of our two fuels. The chemical reaction for combustion: FUEL

heat capacity‚ and thermochemical reactions‚ all of which were necessary for us to understand to complete the task. Paraffin wax produces more energy per gram than Ethanol based on our test results‚ and simply by the molecule comparison itself. Since Ethanol is an oxygenated molecule and already contains oxygen‚ it cannot burn at the same intensity as Paraffin does‚ since Paraffin is

Luke Fancy Pro/Con Paper: Pros of Ethanol Due: 12/07/11 Ethanol was first used in 1908 on Henry Ford’s Model T. The Model T was designed so that it could be run on either gasoline or pure alcohol. When asked why he wanted to run the Model T on alcohol‚ Henry Ford replied by saying‚ “It is the fuel of the future.” The use of ethanol continued through the 1920’s and 1930’s in an effort to keep a United States ethanol program alive. Although the effort was unsuccessful‚ oil supply problems

Ethanol Ethanol is easily soluble in water in all proportions with a slight overall decrease in volume when the two are mixed. Absolute ethanol and 95% ethanol are themselves good solvents‚ somewhat less polar than water and used in perfumes‚ paints and tinctures. Other proportions of ethanol with water or other solvents can also be used as a solvent. Alcoholic drinks have a large variety of tastes because various flavor compounds are dissolved during brewing. When ethanol is produced as a mixing

USA over a Barrel The cost of a barrel of oil this summer reached a record high of nearly $100. How has this happened and how much higher could oil go? The United States dependence on foreign oil is at an all time high. Nations supplying this oil are pumping at a record pace and maximum capacity. If any of these nations fail to supply the U.S. because of a terror attack or bad relations‚ the economy would be negatively impacted. How can the U.S. reduce dependence on imported fuels and diversify

Ethanol What is Ethanol? Ethanol‚ which is sometimes called ethyl alcohol‚ pure alcohol‚ or grain alcohol is defined as‚ “a high octane‚ clean burning‚ American- made renewable fuels.” Ethanol is an increasing important aspect of our society and its popularity is becoming more widespread on a daily basis. Ethanol‚ a substance made out of Sugar-cane‚ maize‚ sorghum‚ wheat ‚ and other grains‚ has become one of the main viable source of energy in the world. In countries like South
