Metin GUMUS et al.,[1]. In this study, hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) kernel oil was tested and studied as an alternative fuel in diesel engines. The hazelnut kernel oil is made to undergo transesterfication process for reducing the viscosity of the oil. The processed hazelnut kernel oil possesses all the properties of biodiesel used in the diesel engine. The suitable transesterification reaction conditions for hazelnut kernel oil are volumetric ratio of the reactants in the ratio 1:5, reaction…

How do speedometers work? A: A speedometer is a gauge that measures the instantaneous speed of a vehicle. Speedometers became standard in all motor vehicles in 1910 Speedometers were created by the Croatian engineer Josip Belušić in 1855 Uses the rotation of the wheels to work When the cars engine turns over the drive shaft spins to turn the wheels The speedometer cable which is powered by the driveshaft also spins A magnet located inside the speed cup (made of aluminum) of the car spins at the…

CHAPTER 5 PROPERTIES OF MAHUA METHYL ESTER AND THEIR BLENDS WITH DIESEL 5.1 INTRODUCTION In this work, characteristic fuel properties of mixture of Mahua methyl ester and their blends with diesel in the proportions of 10:90, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25 and 100:0 respectively were studied. The characteristics fuel properties of Mahua methyl ester blends were found to be those of diesel oil. 5.2 MATERIAL AND METHODS The Mahua oil methyl ester was prepared by using three stage transesterification…

Factors Influencing the Growth of Electric Car 1. Cost Factors: - a. Batteries and Fuel: The cost of the Plug-in Electric vehicle is comparatively higher than that of the conventional vehicles. The main reason for high cost is the cost of its batteries. There is uncertainty in the resale value of plug-in electric vehicle because of its battery deterioration. However, the operational cost of plug in vehicle is much lower than its counterparts. The cost of charging electric vehicles is…

Introduction There has been a lot of controversy if the use of electric cars will stand the test of time and be able to become the newest coming trend in the transportation sector. With all of the technological advances, environmentally, healthily and economically electric cars do benefit the entire population and also help reduce the toxicity that the planet is now having to deal with because of all the pollution man-kind has created. Ecological Factors The use of an electric car allows to…
