Fuel and energy-Why are fuel and energy important? I chose this topic because I think; it plays an important role in our life. Without fuel and energy‚ I wouldn’t be able to arrive to school on time‚ because I need to come to school by car‚ which would not work if there is no fuel. I wouldn’t be able to use Air Conditioner‚ because it need electricity to works….and many more example. The point is without fuel and energy‚ most part of our life would be meaningless. So it is important for us‚ that

case of America’s Natural Gas Highway‚ the companies Clean Energy Fuels Corporation and Navistar International formed a strategic partnership in order to overcome the dilemma of consumers being unable to purchase cars that ran on eco-friendly fuels such as natural gas‚ electric‚ or biofuel because of a lack of fueling stations that supplied these fuels. There was a lack of these fuel stations because there were no customers for the fuels. To

Abstract In this paper I will explore the use of ethanol as an alternative fuel source. Ethanol is considered a renewable energy resource; as it is derived from crops such as: corn‚ sugarcane‚ beets‚ as well as‚ other organic materials. The use of ethanol could decrease our dependence on ever depleting supplies of fossil fuels; such as oil. In this paper‚ I will briefly review how ethanol is produced in different parts of the world. I will also review several of the advantages of using ethanol

The most common kind fuel for boiler The most common kind fuel for gas fired boilers in North America is natural gas. The reason why natural gas is used in boilers is obvious in most areas it is the cheapest heating fuel available. The main reason why natural gas is so cheap is that it is normally pumped directly to homes and business through buried pipes. In most areas these pipes serve most homes and businesses. All a person normally has to do to get natural gas delivered to their home is

AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEM The Purpose of a Fuel System 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. As everyone knows‚ an internal combustion engine needs fuel to operate. Fuel is delivered to the engine by means of the fuel system. The fuel system must be self-contained and efficient so that it will properly energize

Alternative fuels‚ also known as non- renewable sources‚ are substances that can be used as fuels‚ other than conventional fuels. Conventional fuels include: fossil fuels (petroleum (oil)‚ coal‚ propane‚ and natural gas)‚ and nuclear materials such as uranium. [ 1] The fuels we use now are finite‚ meaning they have a limited life expectancy. This along with the toxic waste they produce has made environmentalist and government officials alike take precautionary steps so that we do not

Dependency of Fossil Fuels The flip of a switch‚ turn of a key‚ or the press of a button is all it takes to power up almost everything today. One simple motion holds the key to our future and unlocks our past‚ but at what price? With sources that were once thought to be endless‚ energy consumption and its byproducts has now become a front runner among debates. A far sight from the campfire and miles away from its full potential what does tomorrow hold for energy consumption and its

various renewable energy sources‚ fuel cell technology has received great attention as an alternative to the conventional way of getting energy due to its high efficiency‚ clean operation and cost efficient supply of power demanded by the consumers. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells technology plays a leading role for many applications when comparing with other competitive types of fuel cells. The world is in high demand for clean alternative fuel source and PEM fuel cells could be that change with

Energy and Fossil Fuels January 30‚ 2012 I will be covering different types of energy and how they are converted into other forms of energy. I will also discuss what fossil fuels are‚ alternatives to fossil fuels and the advantages and disadvantages of alternatives. There are several different forms of energy and how it can be converted from one type to another. According to The Law of Conservation of Energy; energy can neither be created or destroyed‚ only transferred
