    Dimethyl furan a potential candidate for gasoline Biofuels are an essential commodity when it comes to reducing carbon emissions from transportation. The production of biofuels produced from raw materials will ensure the availability of biofuels to maintain the biofuel industry What are biofuels? A biofuel is a liquid, solid or any gaseous fuel derived from organic matter such as waste plant and animal matter. (Biofuels Assosiation Australia , 2014) Did you know wood was the first form of

    future. Really? How so? Ethanol will solve the energy crisis. That sounds a little far fetched. Ethanol stimulates time travel. Alright, that’s just a flat-out lie. It seems that these days everybody and their brother thinks that ethanol is the magic key to the future of powering automobiles and solving the problem of dependence on foreign oil. Well, that is not the case. Ethanol is not the energy source of the future; in fact ethanol only creates more energy problems. When Nicolaus Otto built his famous

    As a result, the majority of food consumed by people of a lower socioeconomic status is cheaper, higher in energy and calories, and therefore results in a greater calorie intake. An alternative hypothesis to this claim, however, states that people of a higher socioeconomic status have more money to spend on food, and therefore are more susceptible to obesity

    comparable to fossil fuels, the scientific investigate society has never ceased to look for renewable biofuel alternative. Used for the transportation sector, a useful biofuel must: • be formed cheaply and proficiently • have a comparatively high energy density, in both volume and weight, in order to reach good mileage • be simple to store and dispense • have enough reserves, which do not make threats in ecosystem • Sourced from a range of bio-mass or bio-waste • Should possess appropriate properties

    powered vehicles of comparable weight. The relative merits of different ZEV technologies must also be evaluated on considerations (must) other than performance such as environmental friendliness(less emission ) and commuting utility. While the specific energy of liquid nitrogen LN2 or batteries is far below that of hydrocarbon fuels, the internal combustion engine cars cannot operate without polluting emissions and this thus should not be compared with ZEVs. ADVANTAGES Studies indicate or shows

    In our world today diesel engines have become a substantial part of the society, being used in buses, trucks, locomotives, tractors, and so on. Scientist has been seeking ways of improving the efficiency of diesel engines by developing and testing alternative fuels. Recent studies explore the use of diesohol as a substitute to diesel. Diesohol are classified as “a mixture of diesel fuel and anhydrous alcohol blended using a chemical emulsifier,” (Environmental Protection Agency, 2003).However a major

    These factors would lead to biobutanol being considerably more efficient economically. In addition to that, compared to gasoline or other motor fuel, (methanol, ethanol etc.) biobutanol has an increased energy content and burning efficiency, which is advantageous as it can be useful for longer travels, which would be beneficial economically speaking (Liu, Wang and Zhang, 2013). According to Table 1 below from “The Promising Biofuel” report, Butanol has

    slow at slower scan rates.40 The CV curves reveal that the maximum current density and an enhanced capacitive area were observed for the nanocomposites ZnSnO2@G. This observation can be explained based on the fact that graphene with its 2D structures exhibits enhanced conductivity, higher surface area, and better capacitive behavior as compared to CNT. However, the Zn-doped nanocomposites have enhanced current densities as compared to SnO2-based nanocomposites, probably because of two reasons viz
