hot gases which convert water to steam. The steam drives the steam turbine to produce useful power. On the other hand‚ internal combustion engines usually burn gasoline or diesel fuel inside the engine itself. If they use gasoline‚ they are called spark-ignition engines‚ since the spark from a spark plug ignites a mixture of air and gasoline trapped in the cylinder of the engine. The spark ignition (SI) engine operates ideally on the Otto cycle. The diesel engine‚ also called the combustion ignition

Even so‚ 2013 stands as the third most expensive year for gasoline prices in U.S. history. Looking forward‚ the experts predict that while gas prices will rise and fall from month to month‚ yet the overall trend is for prices to keep retreating in 2014. GasBuddy analysts say that thanks to increases in crude oil production

Cars of Today vs. Cars of Yesterday The cars of today and the cars of yesterday have many similarities as well as many differences. Many of these similarities include; optimal handling‚ technology ahead of their time‚ basic parts such as a motor‚ wheels‚ a drivetrain and a body. Many of the practices used when (automobiles first originated in 1672) are being used even to this day. According to the United States Automobile Association‚ (cars are a vital part of today’s society and play a large

dependency on foreign oil and ethanol has been an option. Ethanol is nothing new; in fact‚ it was first used in a motor built by Samuel Morey in 1826 (Ethanol History). Since the 1980s‚ the government started having oil companies add ethanol into gasoline to replace the previous lead additives to cut the carbon footprint it was creating. However‚ ethanol has brought on several debates regarding whether or not it is affecting our environment and economy negatively. One topic that has been discussed

internal combustion engine is useful‚ it expresses the fuel efficiency in brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) which differs with each combination of torque and speed. The most commonly used category of internal combustion engines are the piston-type gasoline engines used in automobiles. And in portable machineries for movable propulsion. Since‚ it provides with high power-to-weight ratios together with brilliant fuel energy density‚ they are tend to be quite advantageous. These engines can be found in
