gasoline gallon equivalent = amount of alternative fuel it takes to equal the energy content of one liquid gallon of gasoline.
for diesel = 1.136 GGE
for biodiesel = 1.122 GGE
for ethanol = 0.731 GGE
2) What is the gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE)? Find the GGE for Diesel Fuel 02 (D2),...
In an engine performance test, two types of fuel are being used.They are diesel (D2) and biodiesel (B20).Tests were performed at 2500 rpm by using a four cylinder diesel engine with a diameter of 82.2 mm and 94.0 mm stroke size.Tests data are tabulated in Table 1 Table 1 Properties & test data Diesel (D2) Biodiesel (B20) Calorific value, (MJ/kg) 45.609 44.197 Viscosity @ 40°C, (mPa.s) 3.743 4.299 Density, (kg/m³) 838 850 Tourque, (Nm) 230 221 Fuel flowrate, (kg/hr) 12.89...
What is volatility? Which fuel is more volatile, gasoline or diesel
Problem 3: Land footprint of biofuels You are attempting to create transportation fuel in Tempe, AZ on one acre (4,047 m2) of land. You have the option to grow corn, safflower (an oil seed crop that can be dry farmed), or switchgrass. The corn can be used to produce ethanol, the safflower to produce biodiesel and the switchgrass could be used to produce ethanol, diesel or electricity. The yields for the crops and each conversion process is given in the...
ECON5028 PPAIC 1) You are faced with a choice of buying a diesel engined car or its petrol equivalent. The Diesel version costs £17,000 and the petrol equivalent £15,500. The diesel car has a fuel consumption of 40 miles per gallon and the petrol version 30 miles per gallon. A litre of diesel costs £1.40 and a litre of petrol £1.35. Assume there are 4.5 litres per gallon. The mileage driven is forecast as being 12,000 miles per year and...
The corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standard for mileage is currently 26.5 miles per gallon of gasoline (the defender) for passenger cars. To conserve fuel and reduce air pollution, suppose the u.s Congress sets the CAFE standard at 35 miles per gallon(the challenger) in 2010. An auto will emit on average 0.8 pounds of carbon dioxide(c02) per mile driven at 26.5 miles per gallon, and will emit 0.65 pounds of CO2 per mile driven at 35 miles per gallon. A....
Diesel fuel has a density of 0.839g/mL. What is the volume, in gallons, of 2.3 kg of diesel? [ 1 gallon = 3.79 L]
Concern: Have the diesel trucks proven to be cost saving? Information: Diesel fuel is 12 cents per gallon cheaper than gasoline Average Truck gets 10 miles per gallon Diesel trucks cost more to repair and maintain than gasoline trucks. Data has been collected on 20 trucks with the following information: age, miles driven and type. “Tony,” said Mike as he put the data in Table 1 in front of Sanchez, “this data shows that, on average the 6 diesel trucks...

!. An on-farm diesel fuel tank is on a stand 4 feet above the ground. The tank is vented to the atmosphere (the air in the tank is at atmospheric pressure). If the diesel level in the tank is 4 feet above the release point. If the density of diesel is 6.98 pounds/gallon, what is the gauge pressure of the fuel at the nozzle? What is the absolute pressure? Gauge Pressure = ________ psi Absolute Pressure = __________ psi 2....
