DUAL-FUEL™ TECHNOLOGY Current Dual-Fuel™ Technology Dual-Fuel™ is fitted onto a standard diesel engine‚ which operates unchanged‚ except power is generated by mostly clean natural gas. A measured quantity of natural gas is mixed with the air just before it enters the cylinder and compressed to the same levels as the diesel engine to maintain efficiency. The natural gas mixture does not ignite spontaneously under compression‚ so the Dual-Fuel™ engine uses a small injection of diesel fuel‚ around

Article Diesel Fuel Injection One big difference between a diesel engine and a gas engine is in the injection process. Most car engines use port injection or a carburetor. A port injection system injects fuel just prior to the intake stroke (outside the cylinder). A carburetor mixes air and fuel long before the air enters the cylinder. In a car engine‚ therefore‚ all of the fuel is loaded into the cylinder during the intake stroke and then compressed. The compression of the fuel/air mixture limits

Bill Kozel Ms. Livingston English Comp 2 18 September 2012 Alternative Fuels in America On a national average the world uses 87.8 million barrels of crude oil on a daily basis. In 2000 it was estimated that the US alone consumed nearly 20 million barrels of oil a day‚ which is about 5% more than similar nations (Friedman 195). Oil consumption is only going to increase until it peaks‚ then it will steadily decrease as oil supply goes down. It is predicted that oil consumption will peak by the year

High Fuel Prices and its Effect on the U.S. Economy ACC 202-02 Managerial Accounting Professor Jackie Lewis North Carolina Wesleyan University High Fuel Prices and its Effect on the U.S. Economy The United States economy as a whole has been rapidly dwindling down of late‚ from its all time high marks in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. Many Americans believe that the cause for this large downswing in the economy is due to the fact of the cost

DIGITAL FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR ABSTRACT Imagine this. You are on a highway and suddenly your vehicle stops. To your horror‚ you find that you are out of fuel. You check the fuel indicator and find that it has gone repair and is pointing to a higher value on the scale. This is a major shortcoming of the ANALOG FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR. This drawback can be redressed by simply switching the indicator to DIGITAL type. Our project deals on this mechanism and helps to explain the process which can be

Disadvantages of alternate fuels The truth about the manufacturing and use of alternate fuels‚ as with everything else in life‚ is a mix of benefits and cost. Electricity is one of the alternate fuels that made it to production. The Chevy Volt is one such vehicle. The problem with this car is that it cost $41‚000 to buy one‚ and the battery life for a charge is only 37 miles. There would be no value for us to use electric cars. (Courture‚2011). Ethanol

As we know‚ the sun is the source of most of the energy on our planet. Photosynthesis occurs all around us and is essentially the building block of life. The weight of the earth above the decaying material has provided the environment with the means to convert that material into fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels is more

CIRCUIT IDEAS FUEL RESERVE INDICATOR FOR VEHICLES D. MOHAN KUMAR ere is a simple circuit for monitoring the fuel level in vehicles. It gives an audiovisual indication when the fuel level drops alarmingly below the reserve level‚ helping you to avoid running out of petrol on the way. Nowadays vehicles come with a dash-mounted fuel gauge meter that indicates the fuel levels on an analogue display. The ‘reserve’ level is indicated by a red marking in some vehicles‚ but the needle movement through
