ME 496ALT‚ L. S. Caretto‚ Spring 2009 Page 1 1. Problem 7.2 in text. Estimate the rate at which energy flows from a gasoline pump to a motor vehicle during a “fill-up”. Express your answer in kW. If this rate of energy delivery were electric power‚ roughly how many people would it serve assuming a typical US residential community? Assume: the HHV of 1 gallon of gasoline is 145‚000 Btu; 5 minutes for filling up a 16 gallon tank; and a 1 GW(e) electrical plant serves a residential community

Introduction - The most important part of any car is the engine‚ I don’t care what any of those novelty mud flap enthusiasts say. If your engine isn’t giving you the performance you want‚ or if filling up on gas every day is stretching your budget‚ you should consider picking up some gas additives. What Are Gas Additives? - If‚ like me‚ you did not do so great in high school chemistry‚ you might be a little bit nervous about making the move to gas additives. Thankfully‚ understanding and mastering

Classification of Various Power Sources for a Car: Gas‚ Diesel‚ and Electricity Most people today fill up their car with different qualities of gasoline‚ because that’s what the average car takes. They don’t usually consider alternative sources to‚ fill up their cars with. Although gasoline is widely used‚ it is not the only source of power. Diesel and electricity are other choices you have. Diesel is a more concentrated type of fuel that is usually used by big automobiles

I would have to adjust my budget to either lower it or cut something out that isn’t necessary. Instead of pizza every Friday‚ I would have to cut back to every other week or none at all. Not many consumers have the luxury of not using gasoline at all. Gasoline is used in many different gas powered tools‚ and in the farming industry. I would suggest he start off with opening one gas station with a convenience store in a high population and

production immediately would have a negative impact on profits and on countries that have not made the transition yet from leaded to unleaded gasoline for their cars and machinery. Outside the industrialized world‚ there are not enough refineries capable of producing unleaded gas‚ many cars had no catalytic converters‚ and if the cars ran on lower-octane unleaded gasoline‚ it would create more pollutants. The best option is for us is to aggressively phase out of the market place with a five year

The truck can also go alot faster and has a higher torque and a lot higher carrying capacity the car goes 20 miles per hour slower than the truck and the truck can carry more and is higher off the ground. Although diesel has many pros gasoline and electric do as well if you live in a more urban environment electric and gas will do just fine but when you live out in the country electric does not have enough power so diesel is better to drive. Diesel burns dirty but is powerful they can

on gasoline and recycling. First solution is that we should diminish the amount of gasoline since gasoline is the most dangerous one. We have a choice to choose a hybrid car t reduces using gasoline. Besides‚ petrol price are increasing. If a person everyday drives to work they need to pump petrol after 3 days and causes carbon dioxide. Another way to reduce gasoline is take public transport or carpool to work. It can help reduce carbon dioxide and save cost. In order to reducing gasoline‚ we

Crude Distillation Unit (Unit 1100) The purpose of the Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) is to produce a long residue‚ which is a feedstock of downstream RFCC unit‚ from a mixture of long residue and Oman Export Blend Crude (hereinafter referred to as Mixed Crude). CDU is designed to process 116‚400 BPSD of Mixed Crude‚ consists of 40‚000 BPSD of long residue and 76‚400 BPSD of Oman Export Blend Crude and is supplied from the Mina Al-Fahal refinery. CDU also produces LPG‚ naphtha‚ kerosene and gas

temporarily. It prompted denunciation by politicians of greedy refiners and gasoline dealers‚ and proposals for federal legislation prohibiting "unconscionably excessive" gasoline price increases. Many states have an anti-gouging law set in place during disasters. But yet just a year before all of this occurred the price of gas was around nearly a dollar eighty. Now gas is almost a dollar and fifty cents more. That is why gasoline price gougers should be punished. It is already the law and it causes the

AIRCRAFT PISTON ENGINE EMISSIONS SUMMARY REPORT Purpose of this paper: This paper aims to inform interested parties about the development of aircraft piston engine emission factors. These have been measured and are provided by Swiss FOCA for the primary purpose of emission inventory calculations. Furthermore‚ FOCA presents findings about emissions performance and in-flight operation of aircraft piston engines and recommendations for emissions reduction. 33-05-003 Piston Engine Emissions_Swiss
