MECHANIZATION AND TRACTORIZATION AND THEIR DIFFERENCES INTRODUCTION MECHANIZATION AND TRACTORIZATION Mechanization encompasses a wide range of technologies‚ using human and or motor power. Hence‚ mechanization involves the use of tools‚ implements and machines to improve the efficiency of human‚ time and labour. The areas of application include; land development‚ crop production‚ harvesting‚ storage and processing. Mechanization is said to provide human operators with machinery that assist them

types of fuel in place of oil and gasoline to preserve our fossil fuels and make them last longer. One of the fuels that they are looking into is ethanol or CH3CH2OH which is the chemical make up of ethanol. Ethanol is a clear colorless liquid that at low levels has a sweet taste‚ but at levels needed for fuel use it has a burning taste. Since 1990‚ when the government decided that gasoline burned had unsafe levels of carbon monoxide‚ ethanol has been added to gasoline in order to make it a higher octane

Tuba –tuba (Jatropha curcas) fruits as a source of biogas CHAPTER I BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Gasoline oils are very much in demand in the Philippines‚ especially in the transports companies and local oil companies. These companies heavily depend on foreign gasoline oils or imported oils for adequate supply and are spending not only billions but trillions of dollars for the import of gasoline oils. The Philippines rank___among the oil importing countries‚ garnering 0.77% of the world’s import

Israel in the conflict. Among the few countries that were effected‚ the United States suffered greatly. The impact of the embargo was drastic and had an immediate effect on the economy. In the United States‚ the retail price of a gallon of gasoline rose from a national average of 38.5 cents in May of 1973 to 55.1 cents in June of 1974. Meanwhile‚ The New York Stock Exchange shares lost $97 billion dollars in value in six weeks. With the onset of the embargo‚ U.S. imports of oil from the Arab

Gasoline vs. Diesel You’re in the market for a new truck; you have an idea about what you want but not quite sure if you want a gasoline or a diesel engine. Well‚ gas and diesel engines are very similar yet different in quite a few ways. At first glance‚ someone who doesn’t know much about either of the two engines might ask‚ “What’s the difference?” To the untrained eye they might look exactly alike‚ but don’t judge the engine by its exterior look. Gas engines are mainly used by the individual

Regarding the emissions‚ advanced diesel technologies will have to focus mainly on NOx reduction. New combustion system concepts in combination with advanced airhandling/boosting and control systems offer a promising potential. The focus for future gasoline engine development will be on fuel economy improvements through improved combustion systems and reduced throttle losses at part load operation. This can be achieved through e.g. direct fuel injection with stratified lean part load operation. Downsizing
