OMEGA: An Improved Gasoline Blending System for Texaco MGMT 372 Blending gasoline is a critical refinery operation. Texaco implemented the system‚ OMEGA‚ in 1980 on personal and large computer systems. Computers were being installed at Texaco refineries in 1960’s and were mostly used for accounting purposes‚ data acquisition‚ process control‚ and refinery modeling. At this time‚ compositions of gasoline blending were being developed by trial and error‚ experience‚ and average response tables

Electric cars look very different under the hood than a gasoline-powered car. For one thing‚ there is a lot less tubing. For another‚ if you look underneath the hood of an electric car‚ one of the first things you will probably notice is the controller‚ which takes energy from the battery and distributes it to the motor in controlled packets. And that’s pretty much it in a nutshell. Instead of a gas tank‚ the electric car keeps its fuel in a battery and relies on the controller‚ not the distributor

Why Are Gasoline Prices Going Up So High? If everyone else in the world is paying a lot more for gas‚ why shouldn’t Americans? Take your average spoiled American who blames the Arabs for raising the gas prices unfairly in order to make a bigger profit. It’s true‚ gas prices have gone up by a lot in the last few months‚ but is that unfair?

COMPARITIVE LIFE CYCLE COSTING FOR OF A GASOLINE AND A HYBRID CAR Digvesh khot ‚ Narendran Neelagandan ABSTRACT The depletion of the fossil fuels is emerging as a concern for the whole world. The major sources for the consumption of this fossil fuel are our vehicles that use much of the oil for their operation. The need has been felt to devise the alternative fuel for our vehicles which should be the sustainable option so that it does not contribute to the environmental impacts rigorously

the fever called ‘Living’/ Is conquered at last.” Here‚ Edgar says that life has become so unbearable it is comparable to a disease and the only way to be at peace again is to “conquer” life itself. Halsey also promotes these ideas in her song‚ “Gasoline”‚ when she said‚ “Benn in pain like me?/ Do the people whisper ‘bout you on the train like me?/ Well my heart is gold and my hands are cold” (Halsey 2‚ 8‚ 17). These lines show that the things people say and do can convince others that life is no

because of a liquid accelerant. The notion that a flammable or combustible liquid caused flames to reach higher temperatures had been repeated in court by arson sleuths for decades. Yet the theory was nonsense: experiments have proved that wood and gasoline-fuelled fires burn at essentially the same temperature. Vasquez and Fogg had cited as proof of arson the fact that the front door’s aluminum threshold had melted. “The only thing that can cause that to react is an accelerant‚” Vasquez said. Hurst

Hybrid vs. Gasoline In today’s fast paced modern world it would seem the only economical decision is to choose a hybrid. Gasoline is becoming twice as expensive‚ while electric power remains the same. Although standard gasoline vehicles do not get as many Miles Per Gallon (MPG) as a hybrid does‚ there are ways increase miles per gallon. Using electrical resources may simply be the best solution to our gas problem. Hybrid vehicle’s have made much progress from were they started. No longer
