fuel powers

A random sample of the daily amount of fuel (in litres) used for running power and heating systems in a manufacturing unit is listed here. Estimate the mean fuel consumption with 90% confidence. => 974.6 < μ < 1233.7 or 1084.8 < μ < 1123.6 or 900 <..

An internal combustion engine works with a system of pistons. A mixture of air and petrol vapor, is drawn from the carburetor into the cylinder in the down-stroke of the piston. In the upstroke phase, the mixture is compressed. The ratio of the initial volume to final volume is called the compress..

Large amount of fossil fuels are burnt everyday in power stations to heat up water, to produce steam which further runs the turbines to generate electricity. The transmission of electricity is more efficient than transporting coal or petroleum over the same distance. Theref..

This pollutant is released into the atmosphere from the combustion of high-ash fossil fuels, such as those used in thermal power stations, smelters and mining operations. It contains burnt particles of the fuels..

Coal is mainly used, As an industrial fuel in steel, power generation plants etc. It is also a domestic fuel to a limited extent. For manufacture of producer gas and water gas, which are used as fuel gases. For manufacturing coal tar, coke and coal g..

Radioactive Waste - Waste products from nuclear power stations etc. are becoming a serious problem. They should be put where the radiation can do no harm. Unfortunately, there is no way of stopping a radioactive nucleus from emitting radiation. Nuclear energy has some advantages over foss..
