resources are part of our natural environment and form our eco-system. * Ethanol fuel is ethanol (ethyl alcohol)‚ the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. It is most often used as a motor fuel‚ mainly as a biofuel additive for gasoline. 2. What potential is there to use ethanol as an alternative car fuel? * Ethanol can be used in internal combustion engines if it can be economically produced from renewable resources or subsidized as a fuel to reduce air pollution

Impact of Fuel Price Deregulation in India Introduction Empowered group of Ministers on Friday‚ 25th June 2010‚ took a decision to decontrol the petrol prices increasing it by 3.50 per litre & that of kerosene by Rs 3 a litre. While petrol is mainly used by the middle class for cars‚ kerosene is used by the poor for power. Diesel prices rose by Rs 2 per litre and might be freed up in the future. Cooking gas prices were raised by Rs 35 a cylinder. Govt. has indeed taken a bold step by deciding

Introduction: An oxygen sensor‚ or lambda sensor‚ is an electronic device that measures the proportion of oxygen (O2) in the gas or liquid being analyzed. It was developed by Robert Bosch GmbH during the late 1960s under supervision by Dr. Günter Bauman. The original sensing element is made with a thimble-shaped zirconia ceramic coated on both the exhaust and reference sides with a thin layer of platinum and comes in both heated and unheated forms. The most common application is to measure the

2014). Oil scarcity is one of the main external aspects that affect the rise in oil prices. High petrol prices have reduced the consumer purchasing power and spending pattern for gasoline cars since it’s more fuel consuming compared to hybrid cars. This is because hybrid cars maximize fuel efficiency compared to gasoline cars. By purchasing hybrid cars‚ it offers consumer chances to reduce cost on fuel consumption. The fuel efficiency provided by hybrid cars protects businesses and individual from

designed so that it could be run on either gasoline or pure alcohol. When asked why he wanted to run the Model T on alcohol‚ Henry Ford replied by saying‚ “It is the fuel of the future.” The use of ethanol continued through the 1920’s and 1930’s in an effort to keep a United States ethanol program alive. Although the effort was unsuccessful‚ oil supply problems in the Middle East and environmental issues and concerns on the use of lead as an octane booster in gasoline brought focus back on to ethanol in

automobile. Fortunately‚ you can use these tips to help make sure that your car’s diesel engine avoids some potentially serious malfunctions. Have The Glow Plugs Inspected Before Each Winter Serviced One of the differences between diesel fuel and regular gasoline is that it must be far hotter to ignite. Unfortunately‚ there can be instances where the engine may not produce enough heat to actually ignite to diesel fuel. To compensate for this‚ manufacturers include glow plugs that are

Oil price hike is one of the major problems in the country. To get rid of this problem‚ the researchers tried to increase the sources of oil to lower its price. The researchers used Jackfruit seeds as alternative source of oil. It is because jackfruit was available in the market. It also has the properties and substances oil has. The researchers gathered the seeds and extracted liquid from it‚ and it was heated. After 5 minutes‚ the researchers removed it from heat. The materials used are Jackfruit

produces three grades of gasoline Regular‚ Premium‚ and Super. All of these are produced by blending two types of crude oil Crude A and Crude B. The two types of crude contain specific ingredients which help in determining the octane rating of gasoline. The important ingredients and the costs are contained in the following table: [pic] .:. In order to achieve the desired octane ratings‚ at least 41% of Regular gasoline should be Ingredient 1; at least 44% of Premium gasoline must be Ingredient 1‚
