As to your question, there is a volume entitled "Excel for Dummies" (there's a "___ for Dummies" on just about every software package, I think, and they're actually pretty good. I've never used the Excel version, but I have used them for other packages). On Excel, I generally n...
The ambient temps during that time was in the mid 90° F...and in both vehicles the IHKA was set at 70°F. In both vehicles after a while (since the trip was approx 6 hours each direction) it would get a little chilly and I was tempted to turn the stratified air dials toward the...
Larger, more powerful engines don't see as much of a drop in gas mileage when towing as smaller ones do. They simply don't have to work as hard because they're designed for that extra load. So even though large vehicles never get excellent mileage, when compared to small or medium-...
Electric vehicles (EVs) are widely promoted as clean alternatives to conventional vehicles for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ground transportation. However, the battery undergoes a sophisticated degradation process during EV operations and its effects on EV energy consumption and GHG emissio...
Despite the push for EVs, most Americans drive gasoline fueled vehicles and visit the gas station every week. Are they better off compared to four years ago? According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, gas is currently per gallon $3.84 compared to $2.62 four years ago, about a...
The focus is on freight vehicles in the Australian on-road fleet, which have a few unique characteristics such as lifetime mileage compared with other major jurisdictions, as will be discussed later. There are a few additional differences with other LCA studies. For instance, this study is more...
Of particular interest is the global move to electric vehicles with the aim to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from road transport. Various studies have compared GHG life-cycle emissions of fossil-fueled internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) for either (plug-in) hybrid electric ...
Figure 5 describes the comparison chart of net load of electric vehicles connected to the power grid in order and disorder. Table 3 shows the different costs when only electric vehicles are connected to the gas network of the power grid. Compared with Case 1.1, Case 1.2 increases the load du...
For instance, households were asked to report their annual car mileage and expenditures for their car. In the food section, household representatives were asked to fill in their weekly use of a certain food item in kg. As not all types of foods were prompted, we introduced a fixed value ...
