PURPOSE:To obtain the title additive which is easily soluble in gas oil, does not crystallize out the identifying agent in cold weather and can be produced readily at room temperature by dissolving an aromatic identifying agent in a specific alkylbenzene. CONSTITUTION:The title additive is prepared...
Adding an anti-freeze additive will help (Photo Source: 24auto) To avoid the freezing of the gas line, make sure the line is fresh and free of leaks. Any crack or hole lets in moisture, causing the line to ice up when the temperature gets cold. Another effective measure is to avoid...
Both base oil stocks and additive combinations are critical in balancing the performance needs, but in absence of any industry standards or widely accepted specifications for selecting lubricants for gas engines based on performance requirements, most OEMs have their own lubrication specifications (Pirro...
We find that, if the mixture components and ultimately the mixture itself behave as an ideal gas, then all extensive properties are additive and the partial specific properties reduce to the component specific properties. This produces simple working equations for all the intensive properties (v, u...
stated above, engines are grossly inefficient when cold. Start-ups are hard on the car and drastically cut into fuel mileage for the first few miles -- all the more so in cold weather. If you have at your disposal a vehicle whose engine isn't stone-cold, consider that one for your ...
aThe additive used in this study has been developed in Korea in the last few years and some pavement trials have been successfully constructed to assess the properties of the final mixture. It comprises a wax-based composition including crystal controller and adhesion promoter that adjust the wax ...
Top Tier, introduced in 2004 by automakers, is a detergent gasoline additive that helps prevent buildups that can negatively affect vehicle performance and fuel economy. Dozens of licensed retail brands provide it, including Citgo, Costco, Mobil and Shell. Loading......
"Our model provides a physical explanation for the recent striking discovery by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of a plume 1,400 meters high at the seafloor off the Northern California Margin," said Juanes. This plume, which was recorded for five minutes before disappearing, is...
For the most part, the semi-annual switch from winter- to summer-blend gas and vice versa happens seamlessly and goes unnoticed by drivers. Lowest additive concentration Whether it’s summer-blend gas or not, gasoline contains detergent additives designed to keep fuel injectors and other fuel-sys...
Gasifier converts a mixture of fuel, the oxygen supplied by air separation unit, and recycle solids, and/or liquid water and/or steam, and/or a slag additive into an output of syngas for use by gas turbine engine as fuel. Although gasifier may use any fuel, in some embodiments, gasifier...
