Man’s Dependence on Fossil Fuels Before the occurrence of the Industrial Revolution‚ fossil fuels were considered as temporary source of energy. They were only used to compensate for the lack of firewood and charcoal supplies that were the primary energy supplier back in the day. Although the first combustible fuel used widely which remained useful for a long period of time was wood. Advancement by both technological and social demanded a source that could provide a higher energy output. These sources

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars: Worth the Investment? Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe‚ but only recently have people been able to harness this resource and turn it into energy. Hydrogen fuel cell cars are one such advancement made in the effort to turn hydrogen gas into electricity. Fuel cells in the car are used to convert hydrogen into an electrical current‚ and thus power the vehicle. Fuel cells convert hydrogen and oxygen into water while producing electricity. Hydrogen fuel cell

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
