How is diesel energy produced?
Diesel is made by refining crude oil. It's a non-renewable, fossil fuel.
What is oil thermal power plant?
The oil thermal plant refers to the chemical energy that is stored in the fossil fuel like the natural gas, oil shale, fuel oil, and coal. They are usually successively converted into thermal energy, mechanical energy, and electrical energy.
Advantages of steam power plant over diesel power plant?
1. Can be made in much greater output plants 2. Steam plants can use a variety of fuel sources including nuclear fuel, whilst diesel fuel is more expensive and best reserved for transport use.
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.
How diesel index of a given oil sample is calculated?
The Diesel Index indicates the ignition quality of the fuel. It is found to correlate, approximately, to the cetane number of commercial fuels. It is obtained by the following equation
Variation in density of diesel due to temperature variation?
The density of diesel fuel decreases as temperature increases because the fuel expands and becomes less dense. This is due to the thermal expansion properties of the fuel molecules. As a result, diesel fuel may have different densities at different temperatures, which can affect its performance in engines.
What source of thermal energy does a car's engine use?
The combustion of gasoline or diesel fuel
What is the thermal expansion coefficient for JET A1?
The thermal expansion coefficient for Jet A1 fuel is typically around 0.0008 per degree Celsius. This means that for every degree increase in temperature, the fuel will expand by about 0.08% of its original volume.
What is the advantage of Diesel engines?
One of the main advantage of using a Diesel engine as opposed to a regular is that a Diesel engine tends to burn less fuel. They also have very high thermal efficiency.
What are examples of thermal expansion of a liquid?
Examples of thermal expansion of a liquid include water expanding as it is heated, causing liquids like mercury in a thermometer to rise when exposed to heat, and gasoline expanding in a fuel tank on a hot day.
How much does diesel fuel expand in volume in relation to ambient temperature?
Diesel fuel typically expands by about 0.1% for every 10°F (5.5°C) increase in temperature. This expansion can lead to increased pressure within fuel storage tanks and systems, which should be accounted for in system design and operation. Expansion can also affect accuracy when measuring fuel volumes.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of thermal electric generating plants?
it is more economical than diesel power generator but like diesel it is using fossilized fuel and creates pollution in the air
Does diesel engines run on diesel fuel or gasoline fuel?
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
How does the ignited mixture of gasoline and air in a car's engine use thermal expansion to move a piston?
motor conected to fuel tank
How does the ignite mixture of gasoline and air in a cars engine use thermal expansion to move a piston?
motor conected to fuel tank
What is η?
It is the thermal regeneration factor. It is greater than one. It is ratio of neutrons generated in the fuel to the absorbed neutrons.
Which is the engine that gives max mileage either diesel or petrol engine?
Diesel will always give you better fuel mileage as diesel fuel itself contains more BTU (the measure of thermal energy) in a given quantity than compared to gas.So therefore a diesel engine can extract more mileage out of a gallon of diesel fuel as there is more energy to extract out of that gallon as compared to a gallon of gas.Considering this, this is why diesel fuel prices would have to rise considerably over gas before the two would be equal on a cost per mile basis.
