Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a drop-in replacement for conventional jet fuel, offering a significantly reduced carbon footprint. It's crafted from a diverse range of renewable sources, ensuring a greener future for air travel andsustainability in shipping. SAF's production process involves di...
Sustainable aviation fuel – what is it and why is it important? Andreea Moyes, Air bp’s global aviation sustainability director, gives the low down on sustainable aviation fuel. The use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is on the rise, but what is it exactly?
Compressed air is a gas or mixture of gases that is pressurized to a degree greater than that of its surrounding environment. When used as a tool for the maintenance of computers (as well as other electronic devices) it is typically put into a container with a narrow output valve, which ...
There are no suitable substitutes for DEF. DEF is a specific mixture of urea and deionized water, and it is the only fluid that can trigger a chemical reaction in the system. Using a different liquid can damage the engine and SCR components. What Happens When You Run Out of Diesel Exhaust...
When the engineinlet valves open, they fill the cylinder with a fresh air or air-fuel mixture (charge). The engine cylinder sucks the charge (or just the air in case of diesel andgasoline direct injectionengines) because of the atmospheric pressure and the vacuum created by the descending pi...
However, as is all too common, what was initially supposed to be a temporary surcharge has become permanent. Even when the price of oil decreased, airlines kept these surcharges around. Nowadays you’ll find that in many markets, fuel surcharges make up a majority of the fare. For exampl...
Due to the wear and tear of the piston rings and cylinders, theair-fuel mixtureand the burned gases from the combustion chambers leak past the piston rings into the crankcase. This seepage of gases from the rings or the cylinders is called ‘Blow-by’. It generally appears as contamination...
What is simulation? Any process that contains a flow of events, from air temperatures in a crowded room to the manufacture of aninjection molded plasticpart, can be simulated and tested visually. Simulations can be used to optimize a design, test a theory, train or improve safety, and even...
When the brakes are applied or the electric vehicle is decelerating, the motor transforms into an alternator and generates power, which is then returned to the battery. 2. Working Principles of HEV It has a fuel tank similar to a regular car that supplies gas to the engine. A set of batt...
Montgomery has also been organising the catering and items needed for the flight. ‘In the case of a VIP flight like this everything has to be shipped in. This is very involved: the Hong Kong menu and equipment teams come to support this as well,’ he says. ...
