Whether it operates on natural gas, propane, heating oil or electricity, a forced-air furnace warms up a heating element orheat exchangerinside the furnace when the home thermostat signals a need for heat. An internal blower or fan pulls air into the furnace where it absorbs heating energy ...
Where air-source heat pumps use electricity to heat (and cool),furnacescreate heat by burning a fuel source like natural gas or propane. They then distribute that heat throughout your home, to increase the indoor temperature. Furnaces are available in single-stage, two-stage, and modulating sy...
The syngas is then converted into a liquid using a Fischer Tropsch process (originally in the presence of an iron or cobalt catalyst) or an oxygenation method (mixing syngas with Transporting the gas energy as a chemical commodity The components in natural gas, methane, ethane, propane, n- ...
Last year I took a look at the question "Should Natural Gas Be Used To Power New Zealand ?", after reading an article from NZ PEPA executive John Pfahlert arguing that New Zealand should be building new gas fired power stations instead of trying to become carbon neutral, and concluded that...

Generators come in lots of different sizes, and can be powered by either natural gas or liquid propane (LP). A common mistake is to get the largest unit available to power the entire house. And that’s certainly one option. But a more sensible—and affordable—approach is to buy a gen...
and water has no mass exchange with the hydrocarbon, (3) the effect of gas (mainly CO2) on the aqueous viscosity is not considered because it was found to be very small, and (4) aqueous phase properties, such as the formation volume factor, water com- pressibility, and water viscos...
To be a little more scientific about it: Burning fuel (usually gas, oil, or propane) releases the chemical energy stored in its molecular bonds, and it comes out as heat. It's the same deal with wood stoves. "Regular" electric heat, or electric-resistance heat, is another variation of...
Calculate your total household electricity consumptionin kilowatt-hours based on how long you want to run each appliance without refuelling or recharging during a power outage. For standalone fossil fuel generators that run on propane, gas, fuel oil, etc., ensure that you have enough storage and...
Any of a group of hydrocarbons whose carbon atoms form chains linked by single bonds. Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2and include propane and butane. The American Heritage® Student Science Dictionary, Second Edition. Copyright © 2014 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company. Pub...
