Palm oil and derivatives: fuels or potential fuels?

The future of oil: unconventional fossil fuels.

Unconventional fossil hydrocarbons fall into two categories: resource plays and conversion-sourced hydrocarbons. Resource plays involve the production of accumulations of solid, liquid or gaseous hydro-carbons that have been generated over geological time from organic matter in source rocks. The character of these hydrocarbons may have been modified subsequently, especially in the case of solid...

Study of the performance in dual fuels 50% gasoline -50% NG and single original fuels and comparison in part load

One of the most efficient methods to reduce emissions and fuel costs of SI engines in petrol case, is the use of combined gasoline and NG. The ability of an engine is usually expressed with maximum power and maximum torque output of full-load state, but the operating time of the engines with full-load is less than that of part-load time. Therefore, studying the performance of the engine with a ...

Fuels and Furnaces

The subject matter of this paper, if treated in the general sense, covers an extremely wide field to which it is impossible to do justice in the time allocated. It is even difficult to cover the subject adequately if we confine ourselves only to the furnace design of bagasse fired sugar mill boilers. I therefore intend to give a short summary of past and present bagasse furnace designs and cove...
