key sources of energy means; fossil fuels are being depleted in a rapid mode which reflects that we need to concentrate over alternative sources of energy that could also prove to be eco-friendly. But‚ before discussing that it should be better to have an idea about the current scenario and where we are standing today in context of availability of energy resources. At present‚ approximately 80 percent of the energy used by us is supplied via fossil fuels which are called non-renewable energy sources

THE DEPLETION OF FOSSIL FUELS By Zoe Noonan Introduction As the world is becoming more advanced in technology‚ more energy is being used to keep up with the changing requirements. At the current rate at which energy is being used‚ the world will shortly come to an end of fossil fuels- the world’s primary energy resource. Abstract This research paper outlines the problems being faced by the shortage of fossil fuels‚ the effects they are having on the environment and the possible substitutes

What is Alternative Fuels Alternative Fuels come from resources other than petroleum. Alternative fuel uses sources like corn‚ vegetable oils‚ animal fats‚ natural gas‚ propane and hydrogen. Various Alternative Fuels are produced domestically‚ thus reducing our dependence on imported oils and some are derived from renewable sources. Alternative fuel produces less pollution than normal gasoline or diesel (U.S. Department of Energy‚ n.d. ). Alternative fuel is produce for a variety of vehicles

Great Impact of Rising Fuel Price Fuel is another transportation system component. Rising of fuel price is one of the major issues facing the transportation industry in Malaysia. Fuel may be gasoline‚ natural gas‚ diesel fuel‚ ethanol‚ methanol‚ coal‚ etc. The costs and efficiency of transportation fuels are considerable interest. (Joseph Sussman; Introduction to Transportation Systems; Transportation System Components; 2000). Fuel price volatility along with overall price increases has been an

Pre-heating Fuel for Charge Homogeneity to Improve Combustion Abstract – The idea of the automobile engine that people have is of one that is bygone. The automobile engine today is the pinnacle of engineering expertise‚ implementing the best of technologies and undergoing the best of manufacturing processes to make the closest possible achievement to perfection‚ from design to combustion. The art of perfection though starts much before the process itself. In case of the automobile engine

chemistry‚ an alcohol is an organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom. In particular‚ this carbon center should be saturated‚ having single bonds to three other atoms.[1] An important class of alcohols are the simple acyclic alcohols‚ the general formula for which is CnH2n+1OH. Of those‚ ethanol (C2H5OH) is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages‚ and in common speech the word alcohol refers specifically to ethanol. Other alcohols are usually

Assignment topic: DEMOCRACY OR DICTATORSHIP‚ WHICH IS BEST FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Economic Development: Economic Development refers to the increase in standard of living in a nation’s population with sustained growth from a simple‚ low-income economy to a modern‚ high-income economy. To see whether democracy or dictatorship is best for economic development‚ we have to see advantages and disadvantages of both of these individually. DEMOCRACY: The word ‘democracy’ means ‘popular government’

SEMINAR REPORT ON FUEL ENERGIZER Fuel energizer 2 www.techalone.com ABSTRACT In this era of increasing fuel prices‚ here a device called ‘FUEL ENERGIZER’ help us to Reduce Petrol /Diesel /Cooking gas consumption up to 28%‚ or in other words this would equal to buying the fuel up to 28% cheaper prices. When fuel flow through powerful magnetic field created by Magnetizer Fuel Energizer‚ The hydrocarbons change their orientation and molecules in them change their configuration. Result: Molecules

Fuel Systems PT- 264 By: Bobbie Day 3/28/2005 In this report I will explain the fuel systems in an automobile. I will cover different parts and how they work. First thing to do is explain how the fuel system works. The purpose of the fuel system is to store and supply fuel to the cylinder chamber where it can be mixed

Fossil Fuels which include Petroleum and Natural Gas were formed million years ago from the remains of plants and animals‚ are responsible 40% and 20% respectively for the world ’s energy. They were first discovered about 700-900 years ago‚ however since the first modern petroleum industry began in 1859‚ the demand for fossil fuels has escalated beyond our control. It had taken 50-300 million years to form‚ and yet we have managed to burn roughly half of all global oil reserves in merely 125 years
