Essay On Diesel Fuel

The other additives that showed great decrease in aging are Solprene 1205 and Calprene 6120. Solprene 1205 seemed to be working well with the 64-22 binder and Calprene 6120 showed high reduction in aging with 67-22 binder. Frequency sweep tests were performed on the binders modified with antioxidant additives to learn about the impact of these additives on linear viscoelastic properties of the binders. The testing was done on both unaged and PAV aged samples. The frequency sweep test was done at 7 temperatures: 10,20,30, 40, 50, 60 and 70ºC and 10 frequencies at each temperature.

Cetane Number The cetane number of a diesel fuel is the numerical result of engine test designed to evaluate fuel ignition delay. It is defined as the whole number nearest to the value determined by calculation from percentage by volume of normal cetane (cetane No. = 100) in a blend with heptamethylnonane (cetane No. = 15) which matches the ignition quality of the test fuel when compared by this method. High cetane number fuels generally cause lower combustion noise, improved control of combustion, resulting in increased engine efficiency and power output.

Oxygenated compounds Oxygenated fuel is a compound that has a chemical compound containing oxygen. It helps to burn fuel more efficiently so reduces some type of atmospheric pollution. It reduces carbon mono oxide emission and smog formation. Oxygenated fuel allows fuel in vehicles to burn more efficiently because more of fuel is burning so there are fewer chemical pollutants released. Oxygenated fuel also help to cut down renewable fossil fuel consumption.

Once everyone figured out it was a good fuel to use a man named Martin Mittelbach furthered the development of diesel fuel to lower the price. In the further future someone is going to have to redevelop diesel fuel due to the U.S emissions. To burn this good efficient fuel someone had to redevelop an engine to burn the fuel easier and more efficient. The engines had to get fuel and easier and quicker way to burn the fuel without wasting any and still get the amount of horsepower it can make with the least amount of fuel.

While non renewable energy is energy that comes from resources that will be ending at the end. Petroleum, coal, and natural gas are example of energy non-renewable energy. So that, as alternative to replace petroleum, the biodiesel from seaweed is used which it comes from sources of renewable energy. Besides that, when use petroleum, it will give many disadvantages such as greenhouse effect, global warning and increase composition of carbon dioxide (CO2) in atmosphere. An atmospheric pollution comes from petroleum diesel when their combustion gives a primer or source for GHG (Sharif et al., 2008).

3. Evaluation of Biomass Energy Biomass energy is created when the biomass is collected and burned slowly to create steam. Generators then use the steam to turn it into heat and energy. It is believed that this is a very clean type of natural gas as it requires the plants to absorb the carbon dioxide from the environment before it can be used as a viable

“In 2010 diesel vehicles were required to use DEF” (“Diesel Exhaust Fluid,” Renner Petroleum). Vehicles that do not use DEF produce a chemical nitrogen oxide (NOx). After DEF is injected into the exhaust and the nitrogen oxide has made it to the end of the exhaust it has now become just nitrogen and water vapor, which is harmless. By this system being used it makes the air a lot cleaner and easier to breathe. DEF is a very pure solution (“Diesel Exhaust Fluid,” Coleman Oil).

The extracted organic layer was steam bathed to vaporize light petroleum which has low boiling point at 30-40˚C. Chromic acid is a more commonly used reagent for the oxidation of alcohols, it is a suspected carcinogen and generates hazardous waste. In green chemistry, innocuous chemical such as hypochlorous acid, HOCl will be used in oxidation, as to reduce the harmful waste. Green chemistry is the name given to modifications implemented in chemical manufacturing processes that ensure a safer and cleaner

Introduction: Internal combustion engines play a dominant role in transportation and energy production. Even a slight improvement will translate into considerable reductions in pollutant emissions and impact on the environment. The two major types of internal combustion engines are the Otto and the Diesel engine. The former relies on an ignition source to start combustion, the latter works in auto ignition mode. An ignition system is a system for igniting a fuel-air mixture.

Power plants give us the light every day, but it creates lots nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide. Scientist has found how to reduce sulphur in different types of ways. One of the ways is to use coal that has less sulphur. Because nitrogen dioxide is produce by burning coal, fossil fuels etc. power plants are changing the way to produce less nitrogen dioxide.
