There is currently a substantial market for hydrogen in a variety of industrial applications. It is a raw material to produce chemicals such as ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, it is used as a reducing agent in various processes such as steel refining and float glass production, and it is even used in food processing such as the hydrogenation of vegetable oils. A particularly large consumer of hydrogen is the petroleum sector as demand for low sulfur fuels increases. This market for hydrogen is increasing as these industries grow, particularly in high growth economies.…

3. How can hydrogen gas be used as a fuel source and why is it considered to be a clean fuel?…
Today, science is everywhere in our world. From backyard science projects to launching rockets into space, science is a hard thing to avoid. Today, science is used in many important things, but the periodic table of elements is among one of the most important discoveries yet. It proves that our earth and galaxy are made of elements and that they aren't just piles of nothing. Without the elements there would literally be nothing and the galaxy wouldn't exist. Also, science helps us figure out and solve complex problems like preventing accidents such as the Hindenburg blimp accident. Overall, science is everywhere and in this essay I am going to discuss hydrogen and the Hindenburg blimp accident.…
Calories: The name calorie is used for two units of energy. Although these units are part of the metric system, they have been superseded in the International System of Units by the joule. One small calorie is approximately 4.2 joules. Calories are also most known to be used in foods and diet, which is key to athletes.…
The search for a renewable energy source has been a top priority to us a human race in the past decade. Many ideas have come in the form of wind, solar, and nuclear power, all having their own drawbacks. But, the one that will be focused upon in this analysis is hydrogen as a source of fuel, and the technology leading the way to making it a reality. This technology would affect everyone in one way or another if correctly used. So we must ask if this technology is beneficial to us, how it might hurt us, and whether it is worth pursuing from an ethical stance.…
Even though fuel oil is classified as a flammable liquid, most fuels will not burn easily in a liquid state. If you were to drop a lit match in a container of fuel oil, it would PROBABLY go out almost immediately (don’t try this!). In order for fuel oil to burn, it must first be transformed from a liquid to a vaporised state ~ atomised. Atomisation increases the exposure of the fuel to the oxygen in the air; this promotes combustion.…

The idea of shifting world dependence from oil to an alternative fuel source is not new, but the ability to actually succeed on a large scale has only recently developed. For over a decade small groups of researchers around the globe, but especially in the United States, have been working meticulously to find a readily available natural resource that could be turned into a fuel source. Much of the research of this time period has led to the conclusion that, using hydrogen, a system could be developed that would produce the needed energy with little to no emissions (Wakefield 36).…

A fuel system purpose is to store, transfer, and then to mix the fuel with air. The function of the fuel system is to store and supply fuel to the cylinder chamber where it can be mixed with air, vaporized, and burned to produce energy.…

The purpose of this experiment is to derive the universal gas constant for gases experimentally by collecting gases from the neutralization reaction and determining the volume and pressure of the gas and then the partial pressure of the gas formed. The single displacement reaction between magnesium metal and hydrochloric acid will be used to generate the hydrogen gas:…
