Where do you get the re factor for explosives?
The RE factor (relative effectiveness) compares a given explosive's energy to TNT, with TNT being assigned a value of 1.0. Composition C4 is about 1.4- pound for pound, it has 40% more energy than TNT. The RE rating of a product would be listed in the manufacturer's information sheet, or taken from a data table for military explosives.
Is diesel fuel the same as distillate?
No, 'distillate' is not the same as diesel fuel. It is more like kerosene and is used in engines that have spark plugs for ignition rather than high compression to ignite the (injected) fuel. Distillate engines often have a small gasoline tank so they will start col on gasoline and you switch it to distillate after it warms up.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of CNG and LPG gases?
The Advantages of Compressed Natural GasThe Environmentally Clean Advantage Compressed natural gas is the cleanest burning fuel operating today. This means less vehicle maintenance and longer engine life. CNG vehicles produce the fewest emissions of any motor fuel. Dedicated Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV) have little or no emissions during fueling. In gasoline vehicles, fueling emissions account for at least 50% of a vehicle's total hydrocarbon emissions. CNG produces significantly less pollutants than gasoline. Tailpipe emissions from gasoline operated cars release carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming. This is greatly reduced with natural gas. The Maintenance Advantage Some fleet operators have reduced maintenance costs by as much as 40% by converting their vehicles to CNG. Intervals between tune-ups for natural gas vehicles are extended 30,000 to 50,000 miles. Intervals between oil changes for natural gas vehicles are dramatically extended--anywhere from 10,000 to 25,000 additional miles depending on how the vehicle is used. Natural gas does not react to metals the way gasoline does, so pipes and mufflers last much longer. The Performance Advantage Natural gas gives the same mileage as gasoline in a converted vehicle. Dedicated CNG engines are superior in performance to gasoline engines. CNG has an octane rating of 130 and has a slight efficiency advantage over gasoline. Because CNG is already in a gaseous state, NGVs have superior starting and driveability, even under severe hot and cold weather conditions. NGVs experience less knocking and no vapor locking. The CNG Cost Advantage Natural gas is cheaper per equivalent gallon than gasoline (an average of 15% to 50% less than gasoline)
What is difference between MS rods and TMT bars?
TMT Bars - High strength deformed steel bars used for concrete reinforcement. The surface has many short ribs to allow the concrete to adhere better than if the bars had a smooth surface.MS Rods - Mild Steel rods are used to construct many things (such as scaffold construction), but are not the best choice for concrete. The surface of the rod is smooth, so it does not allow the concrete to adhere as well as if the surface had a texture.
Is aluminum more durable then iron?
aluminum is more durable than iron.
Why is net calorific value is less than gross calorific value?
The lower calorific value or Net calorific value (NCV) which supposes that the products of combustion contain the water of combustion to the vapor state. The heat contained in this water is not recovered.The higher calorific value or Gross calorific value (GCV) which supposes that the water of combustion is entirely condensed. The heat contained in this water is recovered.sayed karar waris
Why do chipped potatoes have a higher energy value than mashed or baked potatoes?
Potato chips are deep fried and have high calorific value with more energy than boiled or baked potatoes that have no added hydrocarbons in fried oil.
What is calorific value of pigments?
Pigments themselves do not have a calorific value as they are not macronutrients that provide energy when consumed. Calorific value refers to the amount of energy produced from the combustion of a substance, typically measured in calories or joules. Pigments are primarily used for their color properties in various applications, including food, cosmetics, and art, rather than as a source of energy.
What has the government done to encourage people to switch from petrol to LPG?
since, petrol releases more smoke than LPG,LPG has high calorific value and burns without smoke
How does the calorific value of pellets compare with oil and gas?
The calorific value of one litre of extra light oil amounts to 10 kWh, as does the calorific value of 1m3 of gas. It is therefore true that: 2kg pellets ~ 1 litre extra light oil ~ 1m3 gas. In terms of price pellets do significantly better than oil and LPG.
What has the highest calorific value?
Pure fat, such as oils and butter, has the highest calorific value at 9 calories per gram. This is more than double the calories per gram of carbohydrates and proteins, which each provide 4 calories per gram.
How does water gas compare to methane in terms of thermal energy produced?
Water gas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen produced by passing steam over hot carbon) has a lower thermal energy content compared to methane. Methane produces more heat energy per unit volume when burned due to its higher carbon-hydrogen ratio and higher calorific value.
Is cooked rice more calorific than raw?
No.
Why bituminous shows higher calorific value although anthracite is best quality of coal?
i think because sometimes anthracite has more ash and vm than bituminous
What the calorific value of coal?
The calorific value of coal varies depending on the type of coal, but on average it is around 24-35 million joules per kilogram (MJ/kg). This means that coal can release a significant amount of heat energy when burned, making it a valuable source of energy for power generation and heating.
Is methane lighter than air?
Yes methane is lighter than air because it is less dense than air.
Which produces more Methane gas A Grass Feed Cow or a Corn fed cow?
Cows that consume grass produce more methane than cows on a high-concentrate or high-grain diet. This is because more acetate is produced than proprionate, which gets converted by the methanogens in the rumen to methane gas, which must be expelled through eructation or belching.
