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

Topic Canada should subsidize renewable energy options such as wind and solar power in order to increase the share of renewables in Canada’s energy balance. Introduction Canada government subsidizes a number of socially beneficial services‚ including health care‚ education and energy services. Subsidies to the energy sector mainly are for oil and gas production‚ however‚ they are not all socially beneficial[figure 1]. In fact‚ they have negative impact for the environment and hinder

Informative Speech April 24‚ 2011 Energy Efficiency There are various sources of energy available for use. However‚ energy is a limited and sparse resource that is not in abundance at all places. There is an ever rising need for more energy‚ but the energy supply and resources are limited. As a result‚ people have to develop means that can enable them to survive with the small amount of energy that is available. The proper and sustainable use of energy is known as energy efficiency. Efficiency is attained

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

Energy Production Controversy Imagine the U.S. without cars‚ motorcycles‚ planes‚ or boats. The daily lives of U.S. citizens would be completely different. The common denominator for all those modes of transportation is that they run on gas‚ which is made from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels such as oil‚ coal‚ and natural gas are nonrenewable resources. They will run out one day and that’s what the U.S. relies on for gas and electricity. Renewable energy such as solar‚ wind‚ and hydropower are infinite

you can understand‚ these technological devices are in a voracious hunger of energy. People use those devices happily and comfortably at the same time count themselves lucky to have them. However‚ they rarely think about what gives them energy to run. They often think our energy resources are unlimited and never come to an end. Unfortunately‚ the reality is not that good. Our current energy resources are mainly fossil fuels ‚such as oil‚ gas‚ coal‚ are completely finite and they started to deplete
