Internal Combustion Engine Reformulated Gasoline
2,401 wordsAs time approaches the 21 st century, the automobile has become our major source of mass transportation. Everything about our culture and society has developed around this necessary form of travel. However, along with this necessity comes the issue of pollution to the environment. These great gasoline powered vehicles have contributed greatly to the impurity of our environment. The two prominent alternative fueled vehicles yet brought up are the Electric car (EV) and the Hybrid electric car (HEV...

Combustion Chamber Spark Plug
856 wordsEngines are found all around our very day lives. They are found in our cars, trucks, vans and motorcycles. Almost all vehicles run on the basic combustion engine. An internal- combustion engine is any type of machine that gets mechanical energy from the expenditure of the chemical energy of fuel burned in a combustion chamber. There are four main types of internal- combustion engines, they are: the Otto - cycle engine, the diesel engine, the rotary engine and the gas turbine. The Otto-cycle engi...

Web Web Web Web Web Web Web Gas
667 wordsCompressed Natural Gas or CNG is becoming and increasingly attractive fuel for many transportation uses. One reason for the increase in interest in CNG is that the emissions of a CNG vehicle are far less than that of a gas powered engine. Other factors that make the production of CNG vehicles is that the gas prices have risen in the past couple years. Natural gas is, well, natural gas -- the same stuff that heats your stove or your house. It is largely produced domestically in the United States;...

Liquid Fueled Rockets Liquid Fueled Rocket Fuel
901 wordsA rocket is a device that does not need atmospheric oxygen to burn its fuel, since it carries its own, either separately or in chemical combination with fuel. Rockets are propelled forward by gas or liquid being expelled backwards. Rockets work on a fundamental law of motion by Sir Isaac Newton that states, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This helps explain how rockets fly on earth and in space. For example, the rocket fuel is exploded in a controlled way so that the ex...

Nuclear Energy Uranium Fission
1,199 wordsThousands of years ago human beings learned to make fire. By collecting and burning wood they were able to warm themselves, cook food, and manufacture primitive tools. Later, the Egyptians discovered the principal of the sail. Even more recent was the invention of the water wheel. All of these activities utilize various forms of energy-biological, chemical, solar, and hydraulic. Energy, the ability to do work, is essential for meeting basic human needs, extending the life expectancy, and providi...

Break Even Analysis Fuel Tank
1,326 words... fe working of the engine. This was manufactured in house by the fabrication unit. o The fuel tank of the car was very big in size. Therefore a fuel tank was required for holding compressed hydrogen, which would consume less volume and space. This was possible by making the fuel tank of special alloy metal, which was made in the fabrication workshop itself. o The fuel stations had to be set up across the country. This required Volkswagen to set up hydrogen stations, which would attract more s...

During the early morning hours of the twenty-sixth, operators had been running an ill-conceived experiment on reactor unit number four, during which a spike in the operating level of the core caused a catastrophic explosion. The resulting eruption of radionuclides, both from the initial explosion and from the subsequent fires, t...

Nuclear Waste Waste Disposal
2,656 wordsThe General Problem The generation of energy from nuclear fuel reactors has been a highly controversial issue for the better part of the last century. At one point in the 1960 s, nuclear power was thought to be the energy source of the future because it was considered cleaner than carbon or coal, and much more efficient. After incidents such as the near fatal meltdown at Three Mile Island and the disastrous incident at Chernobyl, many people have been vehemently opposed to nuclear fuel generated...

Solar Panels Fossil Fuel
657 wordsThe first question, which I must ask in order to write this essay, is, what is energy? Energy gives us the ability to do thing. Everything in the world needs a supply of energy, and so energy is used to make things work. The word energy is taken from the Greeks and means the work within and nearly all energy originally came from the sun. The main type of energy used in the world is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are called non-renewable because they are the remains of plants and small dead animals, w...

Carbon Monoxide Carbon Dioxide
4,029 wordsThe Exhaust Systems Exhaust Systems The exhaust system on a car is the most important device to keep our environment clean. Many exhaust emissions from the engine such as water, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, are of little concern. Others, such as hydrocarbons (HC), oxides of nitrogen (NO), and carbon monoxide (CO), can cause environmental and health problems if not controlled. Hydrocarbon emissions react with sunlight, which cause photochemical smog. The exhaust system controls these the...

Hydrogen Bomb Nuclear Fusion
2,740 wordsFusion reactions are inhibited by the electrical repulsive force that acts between two positively charged nuclei. For fusion to occur, the two nuclei must approach each other at high speed to overcome the electrical repulsion and attain a sufficiently small separation (less than one-trillionth of a centimeter) that the short-range strong nuclear force dominates. For the production of useful amounts of energy, a large number of nuclei must under go fusion: that is to say, a gas of fusing nuclei m...

The changes are small, so far, but they are expected to grow and speed up. Within the next fifty to one hundred years, the earth may be hotter than it has been in the past million years. As oceans warm and glaciers melt, land and cities along coasts may be flooded. Heat and drought may cause forests to die and food crops to fail. Global wa...
