Corrosion and abrasion of rings and liners from marine diesel engines using residual fuel
… from marine diesel engines using high sulphur residual fuels. Pure corrosion effects were simulated in a sealed vessel containing emulsified lubricant and acid. Graphite was found to stimulate corrosion of ferrite but phosphide eutectic and iron carbide remained unattacked. A reciprocating test …

An investigation of residual fuel oil ash deposit formation and removal in cooled gas turbine nozzles
… combustion turbine engine burning a heavy residual fuel oil. The tests were carried out in a turbine simulator device, consisting of a combustion chamber and a turbine first-stage nozzle cascade sector. Both film, air-cooled and closed-circuit, water-cooled nozzle sectors were tested. These …

Cold start fuel management of port-fuel-injected internal combustion engines
… of this study is to investigate how changes in fueling strategy in the second cycle of engine operation influence the delivered charge fuel mass and engine out hydrocarbon (EOHC) emissions in that and subsequent cycles. Close attention will be paid to cycle-to-cycle interaction of the fueling …

Sustainable Spacefaring: Exploration of scrap metal powder metallurgy on the lunar surface
… in orbit, mostly because of the potential for residual fuel to explode. Given the mass, frequency of use, relative simplicity of design and structure compared with the intricacies of satellites, and material composition, upper stage rocket bodies are the targeted scrap metal source for this …

METAL AND WOODEN SHIPWRECKS: UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEAVY METALS, ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS, AND MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES
… years and could be leaching contaminants from residual fuel and ship materials. This study examines how the wrecks, environmental factors of the estuary, and the microbial community interact and ultimately may impact the surrounding ecosystem. Sediment samples were collected in three distinct …

Modeling of biofuel-diesel multi-component fuel effects on vaporization, micro-explosion and combustion
In the effort to reduce air pollution and fossil fuel dependence in automotive and related sectors, internal combustion engine (ICE) designs are optimized for high efficiency and low pollutant emissions, and alternative biofuels are used in ICE mixing with conventional petroleum based fuels. One …

An Empirical Study of Selected Causes and Effects of Semirigid Prices in the Petroleum Refining Industry with Emphasis on the Period 1963 through 1972
… product prices low. (2) Import restrictions on residual fuel oil were frequently reduced to maintain low prices, increasing import dependency. (3) The wholesale gasoline price was attacked from the two following sources when a disproportionate percentage of crude oil was allowed to marginal …
