Tech Assignment – Fossil Fuels 1. Describe in detail what fossil fuels are and how they are formed - Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, meaning they contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms. They are also the simplest form of organic compounds. These hydrocarbons include coal, crude oil and natural gas and they originate from pre existing organisms. Oil and gas are generally formed from the remains of marine organism whilst coal is formed from the remains of vegetation on land, usually in swampy or…

play key roles in contributing to the release of harmful chemical toxins and emittance of Green House Gasses. Sources may include personal vehicles, industrial waste, improper waste disposal, livestock, etc.. Utah’s excessive consumption of fossil fuel powered energy, i.e., cars and coal powered electricity, leads to the release of high amounts of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and fine PM 2.5 particles being released and trapped…

in the newspaper. It is in the air that people breathe every single day. However, many humans are still not aware of the harmful effects of global warming. Carbon is emitted into the air daily because of the burning of fossil fuels. Eventually, we will run out of fossil fuels. Then what happens? There are plenty of clean alternatives that put little to no greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. One small switch at a time could save a population of polar bears or even someone’s life. Global warming…

Meaning we either run out of fossil fuels, or we use so much that we end up killing the earth…

petrol and similar volatile fuels. The fuel mixing was done in carburettor in earlier days but now it is done using fuel injection. Petrol engines runs at higher speed than diesel engine, this is due to the small size of piston. Petrol engine has many applications like: 1) Motorcars 2) Motorcycles 3) Aircrafts 4) Motorboats Diesel engine: It is also called compression-ignition engine. It is an IC engine that uses of heat of compression for ignition and burning of fuels. It has highest…

total $40. This shocking experience not only scared me for life but also made me determined to find a cheaper way to fuel my truck. That is where I found ethanol. Ethanol is a biofuel derived from corn that can be used to fuel cars and trucks that are flex fuel compatible. “In 1908, Ford Motor Company’s first car, The Model T, used ethanol corn alcohol gasoline as fuel energy” (Fuel-Testers). So Ethanol…

Canada is still one of the top producers of fossil fuels and extracting natural oils in the world, supplying most of this not only to provide energy for Canadians and Canadian corporations but also transporting it around the world, including to countries like China (Energy, 2016). Canada is the…

Within the last decade, Fuel Cells have become more advanced and available to buy. The Fuel Cell was originally thought up in 1839, by a man named Sir William Grove, but a working model wasn 't made until 1959. After being used in one of NASA’s space programmes, the research and development on Fuel Cells died down and was put back in storage. In the 1900’s scientists decided to look at new ways to make these products available for commercialization. This has been successful as they are now used…

as a compression-ignition engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the compression to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber. This contrasts with spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline), which use a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture. The diesel engines have the highest thermal efficiency in any internal or external combustion engine because of its…

large deposits of fossil fuels are also obtained from earth. But these resources are continuously over exploited by human race. This over exploitation has lead to global warming air and water pollution,acid rain, deforestation,extinction of species and globalrise in average sea level. Some or the other way human racethe wish to improve the standard…
