and vaporizes a small amount of fuel‚ the wax. Once vaporized‚ the fuel combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to form a flame. This flame provides sufficient heat to keep the candle burning via a self-sustaining chain of events: the heat of the flame melts the top of the mass of solid fuel‚ the liquefied fuel then moves upward through the wick via capillary action‚ and the liquefied fuel is then vaporized to burn within the candle’s flame. The burning of the fuel occurs in several distinct regions

It will involve the trucking industry and explain how the rising of gas prices has effected trucking company. Crude Oil prices have passing over one hundred dollars a barrel. This has effected many independent owners-operators. This article will dicuss why some independent owners have decided that it is no longer profitable to drive a truck. Some owners

Coking Coal A Coking coal is that coal which when heated in absence of air leaves a solid coherent residue possessing metallic grayish luster & which possesses all the physical & chemical properties in the coke when manufactured commercially. Coking coal are those coals which after heating in absence of air leaves a residual coke. This coke when satisfies all the physical & chemical characteristics such as CSR‚ CRI‚ Shutter Index‚ Micum 10 & 40 & Porosity‚ are accepted by the steel plants. The coal

report we are going to talk about the fuel cell cars and the issues with burning gasoline and its causing global warming. Iwill cover how we have alturnatives in transportation and the pros and cons of each of them. Global warming is a serious problem that the world is facing. Did you know that global warming increases the average tempature of the earths surface? This is due to the burning of fossil fules like coal‚ natural gases‚ and oil. These fossil fuels are what we burn in gasoline engines

Take a look at the following diagram called the “Fire Triangle”. Oxygen‚ heat‚ and fuel are frequently referred to as the "fire triangle." Add in the fourth element‚ the chemical reaction‚ and you actually have a fire "tetrahedron." The important thing

Fuel cells have become a favorable future power source because they can convert chemical energy directly into electricity in a highly efficient‚ environmentally friendly manner. Although fuel cells were invented one and a half centuries ago‚ only recently has it become feasible for them to compete with existing energy production systems. Among the various types of fuel cells‚ proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells promise to become a viable power source for transportation as well as a distributed

The study was conducted to construct a Rechargeable Charcoal/Wood-Feed Stove; a time-saver and a cost efficient appliance. It aims to compare the efficiency of the said stove to other commonly types of stove such as LPG Stove and Charcoal/Wood Clay Stove regarding with the time consumed when boiling‚ the watts consumed and the volume of fuel needed.
