	Fuel - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		More important, however, than the elements are the carbohydrates or compounds of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, which form the bulk of the natural fuels, wood, peat and coal, as well as of their liquid and gaseous derivativescoal-gas, coal-tar, pitch, oil, andc., which have high values as fuel.
		The common fuel of India and Egypt is derived from the dung of camels and oxen, moulded into thin cakes, and dried in the sun.
		The steam-pipe is connected at A, the oil-pipe at B, and the handwheels C and D are for the adjustment of the internal orifices according to the rate of combustion required.

	Fuel - WOI Encyclopedia Italia
		Fuel releases its energy either through chemical means, such as burning, or nuclear means, such as nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.
		An important property of a useful fuel is that its energy can be stored to be released only when needed, and that the release is controlled in such a way that the energy can be harnessed to produce work.
		In this case the hydrogen fuel does not occur naturally in usable amounts, and it must be made using other fuels or energy sources.

		Fuel moisture (FM) content is the quantity of water in a fuel particle expressed as a percent of the ovendry weight of the fuel particle.
		Fuel moistures are also strongly influenced by the aspect of the slope upon which they exist.
		Studying the behavior of fuels and their reaction times per weather changes over a period of time is perhaps the best means to truly learn how to forecast fuel moisture (just as a more experienced forecaster learning to forecast for extended periods).

		It is common knowledge that condensate is "valuable." When you look at the details, one of the components that stands out is the thermal value of condensate.
		With fuel costs rising, every aspect of a steam plant operation has to be reconsidered for thermal efficiency.
		Fuel cost is based upon the amount of energy it takes to heat makeup water up to the temperature of the unrecovered condensate.

		Let's assume the value of condensate is based upon 1,000 gallons (e.g., $16.81/1,000 gallons condensate) as a basis for both current and future recovery projects.
		In Figure 1, fuel is the largest contributor at 54 percent, followed by sewer at 18 percent and then blowdown.
		As expected, fuel is the major contributor at 75 percent, followed by sewer at 12 percent.

		The burning of the fuel should release heat in a controlled manner so that the fire neither dies nor explodes.
		Some fuels have all the characteristics of an ideal fuel like high calorific value, low pollution causing gases, etc. but these fuels can be very expensive.
		Fuels are extracted and purified in factories and have to be transported to either homes for domestic use or to industries for industrial use.

		Fuel values allow comparisons based on mass - a unit of measurement that most people are familiar with and one that is easily measured.
		A fuel value is converted to molar enthalpy by multiplying by molar mass.
		The energy content of a typical serving is calculated by multiplying the fuel value by the mass of the serving.

	Annex III - Measuring cooking fuel economy
		Fuel consumption should be measured by weight rather than by volume since it is difficult to measure accurately the volume of a nonuniform fuel such as wood.
		For this measurement, the fuel available to the cook is pre-weighed and the fuel remaining upon the completion of the meal (or the day's meals) is weighed in order to obtain the consumption during cooking.
		Fuel consumption and cooking efficiency tests in the field require the surveyor or researcher to interfere with cooking to some extent.

	Fuel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The method of conversion used for a particular type of fuel depends on the molecular structure of the fuel.
		In this process known as combustion, fuel reacts with oxygen and releases energy as heat.

	Engine & fuel engineering - Value of Engine Efficiency??
		Fuel economony be damned, we consumers want to be able to turn fuel into "go" as quickly as possible.
		If the fuel economy trade barrier was the only factor in the economics of car production, and of course it isn't by a long way, the winners would be the nations with the tightest fuel economy legislation.
		I would actually sooner have single fuel with the engine optimised to LPG so as to get the best result, but then it would require a substantial increase in tank size, twin tanks being the optimum, so you only carry the extra fuel load when going to areas where supply might be an issue.

	Methane Digesters for Fuel Gas and Fertilizer - Chapter 5-6
		The fuel value of bio-gas is directly proportional to the amount of methane it contains (the more methane, the more combustible the bio-gas).
		Since tables of "Fuel Values of Bio-Gas" may not show how much combustible methane is in the gas, different tables show a wide variety of fuel values for the same kind of gas, depending on the amount of methane in the gas of each individual table.
		As an example, suppose we had 100 chickens which were allowed to forage during the day, but were cooped at night, so that only about half of their manure was collectable.

		These organisms are potentially valuable for commercial production of natural carotenoids from agricultural residues, and the general method for multiple gene cloning will have broad applications for producing new bioproducts in recombinant microorganisms and transgenic crops.
		Using genetically-improved fermentation strains, the valuable carotenoid astaxanthin was produced from unamended fuel ethanol thin stillage.
		Fuel ethanol stillage byproducts were successfully fermented to produce astaxanthin, a carotenoid employed in aquaculture and poultry diets.

	How GM Electronic Fuel Injection
		In open loop mode, this term takes on different values depending on coolant temperature, MAP, cranking status, clear flood condition, throttle position sensor, etc. When this term is other than 1, the closed loop term is held to 1 so that the two terms will not be fighting one another.
		Since the BLM settles at a value indicating how much more fuel is needed beyond what the VE table is delivering, you can use the BLM value to adjust the VE tables manually, i.e.
		The problem with the Integrator is that its value cannot be used to determine how far away from 14.7 AFR you are.

	Energy density - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In some cases it is obvious from context which quantity is most useful: for example, in rocketry, energy per unit mass is the most important parameter, but when studying pressurized gas or magnetohydrodynamics the energy per unit volume is more appropriate.
		In a few applications (comparing, for example, the effectiveness of hydrogen fuel to gasoline) both figures are appropriate and should be called out explicitly (hydrogen has a higher energy density per unit mass than does gasoline, but a much lower energy density per unit volume in most applications).
		Typical values of food energy density for high energy-density foods, such as a hamburger, would be 2.5 kcal/g.

		The Waukesha 525kw generator is started on straight well-head gas with a fuel heating value of 850 btu per cu/ft. Once the compression and refrigeration process begins, liquefied field gas is then passed thru a heat exchanger to slightly raise its temperature to release some impurities.
		The problem in the past had been that the changes in fuel heating value caused the engine to run rich or lean depending on the fuel value at the time.
		This closed loop operation precisely controls the fuel mixture and when used with a catalytic converter minimizes emissions.

		The fuel value, H (kcal/g), is determined by dividing the heat of combustion, H (kcal/mol), by the molar mass (g/mol) of the fuel using Equation 4:
		The negative sign of the fuel value indicates the exothermic nature of the reaction.
		The more negative the value is, the more energy is released per gram of the fuel, and the "higher" the fuel value is.

	Ford Foundation: Potential Fuel Effectiveness in Industry - 59 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Depending upon how one accounts for the fuel value of certain waste products that result from pulping operations, two values can be calculated for the average fuel consumption.
		Since burning of the waste products represents consumption of fuel resources that could be used for a variety of purposes other than paper manufacturing, it is reasonable to charge the paper industry with this added fuel consumption.
		The data reveal that in 1967 paper-making processes were relatively effective in conserving scarce fuels such as gas and petroleum.

	Orange peel fuel - Vincent Corporation
		The energy value of citrus waste, when used as a fuel, is sufficient to operate a citrus juicing and concentrating plant.
		That is, when burned in a steam generator, the BTU value of the peel is sufficient to prepare the peel for burning and to generate the steam required for process needs.
		The economic feasibility depends, most of all, on the relative value of dried citrus peel that can be sold as livestock feed, as compared to the cost of energy (fuel and electricity) purchased by the citrus processor.

		Density must also be determined for selecting the correct size gravity disc for the purifiers and for the determination of calorific value of fuel.
		High viscosity fuels are generally less expensive than lower viscosity fuels; however, high viscosity fuels will require pre-heating prior to centrifuging and fuel injection in order to lower the viscosity.
		The fuel is burned during the test, and the mass of the fuel sample is measured before and after burning to determine the percentage of carbon residue remaining.
