Results of primary use for gasoline‚ gasoline prices rising to all-time highs and environmental programs are the reason why consumers are complaining about driving their automobiles today. The primary use for gasoline is in automobiles and light trucks. Fuel produced all year round‚ and is delivered from oil refineries through pipelines to a massive distribution chain serving 167‚000 retail stations throughout the United States ("EIA Brochures"‚ 2004). Refineries produce millions of barrels of gas a day;

Bill Kozel Ms. Livingston English Comp 2 18 September 2012 Alternative Fuels in America On a national average the world uses 87.8 million barrels of crude oil on a daily basis. In 2000 it was estimated that the US alone consumed nearly 20 million barrels of oil a day‚ which is about 5% more than similar nations (Friedman 195). Oil consumption is only going to increase until it peaks‚ then it will steadily decrease as oil supply goes down. It is predicted that oil consumption will peak by the year

Diesel engines are commonly found in commercial vehicles‚ but these engines are also frequently used in passenger cars. Individuals that have recently purchased their first diesel engine vehicle may not be sure of the steps for properly caring for this type of automobile. Fortunately‚ you can use these tips to help make sure that your car’s diesel engine avoids some potentially serious malfunctions.

Parts of the marine diesel engine Below is a cross-sectional view of a Sulzer Main Diesel Engine and the names of the component parts. The starting air valve is used to lead highly compressed air to push the piston for turning the engine when starting. In this 2-stroke engine‚ the air intake and exhaust are taken into the engine cylinder liner through scavenging ports and exhaust ports. The cylinder head covers the top of the cylinder and houses the starting air valve‚ fuel valve or injector

1. INTRODUCTION A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition to burn the fuel‚ which is injected into the combustion chamber during the final stage of compression. Diesel engines have wide range of utilization for automobiles‚ locomotives & marines and co-generation systems. However‚ large problem is still related to undesirable emission. The six-stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine based on the four-stroke

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. Some examples of biomass fuels are wood‚ crops‚ manure‚ and some garbage. When burned‚ the chemical energy in biomass is released as heat. If you have a fireplace‚ the wood you burn in it is a biomass fuel. Wood waste or garbage can be burned to produce steam for making electricity‚ or

reaction of a fuel‚ typically with oxygen from the air (though it is possible to inject nitrous oxide in order to do more of the same thing and gain a power boost). The combustion process typically results in the production of a great quantity of heat‚ as well as the production of steam and carbon dioxide and other chemicals at very high temperature; the temperature reached is determined by the chemical make up of the fuel and oxidisers (see stoichiometry). The most common modern fuels are made up
