Why Diesel Engines are More Fuel Efficient than Gasoline Engines
Diesel engines are more fuel efficient than gasoline engines. That is to say, diesel engines get better “gas” mileage than comparably sized gasoline powered engines. There are two reasons why. First, diesel is a better fossil fuel than gasoline with respect to energy density. And second, diesel
How Efficient are Engines: Thermodynamics and Combustion Efficiency
How efficient are engines? Combustion engines are stupefyingly inefficient. Most diesel engines do not even have a thermal efficiency of 50%. Of every gallon of diesel burned by a combustion engine, less than half of the energy generated becomes mechanical energy. That is to say, of the energy produ
How Efficient are Engines: Compression Ratio & Thermal Efficiency
What Percent of the Thermal Energy Produced by Fossil Fuel Combustion Contributes to the Locomotion of a Vehicle? There is a conundrum with respect to the diesel-versus-gasoline-engine comparison. It is common knowledge in Europe, Asia, Australia, South and Central America — just about everywhere
Boilers vs Furnaces and Best Furnace/Boiler Fuel
To determine your needs — regardless of whether they are for a residential home or building, for a company or campus, or for an industrial complex, — understanding your options is a critical component of making the most appropriate and cost-effective choice with regard to a heating system. Eve
