Diesel

Torgov, V.G. ; Tatarchuk, V.V. ; Druzhinina, I.A. ; Korda, T.M. Cine film started out expensive, but as it became cheaper the format started the craze of home recording. So far neither a pilot plant or full scale plant has been constructed to recover palladium, rhodium or ruthenium from nuclear wastes created by the use of nuclear fuel. Cine started the expanding revolution of 'play at home' movies, with the most famous of the early films being the classic 'Eat The Pie' by the legendary Harry Darwin. This extraction operates by a solvation mechanism. Cine film literally means 'moving' film; deriving from the Greek 'kinema' for motion; it also has roots in the Anglo-French word Cinematograph, meaning moving picture. In this solvent extraction system the hydrocarbons of the diesel act as the diluent while the dialkyl sulfides act as the extractant. It is not generally used to refer to video formats or professional formats.

This has been proposed as a means of separating the fission product palladium from PUREX raffinate which comes from used nuclear fuel. Ciné (sometimes Cine) is usually used to refer to one or more of the home movie formats including 8 mm, 9.5mm, 16mm film, and Super 8. Bad quality (high sulfur) diesel fuel has been used as a palladium extraction agent for the liquid-liquid extraction of this metal from nitric acid mixtures. This is the first time a maker has competed for the overall prize with a Diesel-fueled vehicle. Audi will fight for the overall win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2006 with the Diesel-powered R10.

Westport claims to have invented a process called Westport-Cycle ^[5] with comparable efficiency using natural gas and petrodiesel. That car and a later Cummins Diesel Special are on display at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum^[4]. The following year Dave Evans drove his Cummins Diesel Special to a nonstop finish in the Indianapolis 500, the first time a car had completed the race without a pit stop. This feat helped to prove the usefulness of the internal combustion engine.

The trip was from Indianapolis to New York City - a distance of nearly 800 miles (1300 km). The very first diesel-engine automobile trip was completed on January 6, 1930. In 1931, Walter Lees and Fredrick Brossy set the nonstop flight record flying a Bellanca powered by a Packard Diesel for 84h 32m. Woolson was fitted to a Stinson X7654, and in 1929 it was flown 1000 km non-stop from Detroit to Langley, Virginia (near Washington, D.C.).

A Packard diesel motor designed by L.M. Packard diesel motors were used in aircraft as early as 1927, and Charles Lindbergh flew a Stinson SM1B with a Packard Diesel in 1928. Diesel engines are used in cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and locomotives. Rudolf Diesel originally designed the diesel engine to use coal dust as a fuel, but oil proved more effective.

Diesel is used in diesel engines, a type of internal combustion engine. In India, taxes on diesel fuel are lower than on gasoline as majority of the transportation, that transports grains and other essential commodities across the country, runs on diesel. The term DERV (short for "diesel engined road vehicle") is also used in the UK as a synonym for diesel fuel. Diesel fuel, or Marked Gas Oil is dyed green in the Republic of Ireland.

Also, in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland it is known as red diesel, and is also used by agricultural vehicles. This untaxed diesel is also dyed red for identification purposes, and should a person be found to be using this untaxed diesel fuel for a typically taxed purpose (such as "over-the-road", or driving use), the user can be fined $10,000 USD on the spot. Similarly, "untaxed" diesel is available in the United States, which is available for use primarily in agricultural applications such as for tractor fuel. In Europe, the United States and Canada, taxes on diesel fuel are higher than on heating oil due to the fuel tax, and in those areas, heating oil is marked with fuel dyes and trace chemicals to prevent and detect tax fraud.

Diesel fuel is very similar to heating oil which is used in central heating. Due to the purity of the source, it has a higher quality than petrodiesel. Paraffin biodiesel also exists. However, biodiesel has combustion properties very similar to regular diesel, including combustion energy and cetane ratings.

Chemically, most biodiesel consists of alkyl (usually methyl) esters instead of the alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons of petroleum derived diesel. A small percentage of biodiesel can be used as an additive in low-sulfur formulations of diesel to increase the lubricating ability that is lost when the sulfur is removed. There have been reports that a diesel-biodiesel mix results in lower emissions than either can achieve alone. This can be overcome by using a biodiesel/petrodiesel blend, or by installing a small heater in your fuel system, but this is only nessecary during the colder months.

Biodiesel has a lower gel point than regular diesel, but is comparable to diesel #2. It can also be mixed with petrodiesel in any amount in modern engines, though when first using it , the solvent properties of the fuel tend to clear out all the garbage that has built up from the petrodiesel and can clog fuel filters. Biodiesel is a non-fossil fuel alternative to petrodiesel. Biodiesel can be obtained from vegetable oil and animal fats (bio-lipids, using transesterification).

Such synthetic diesel has 30% less particulate emissions than conventional diesel (US- California) ^[3]. Synthetic diesel may also be produced out of natural gas in the GTL process. ^[2] Other attempts use enzymatic processes and are also economic in case of high oil prices. After purification the so called Fischer Tropsch process is used to produce synthetic diesel.

Wood, straw, corn, garbage, and sewage-sludge may be dried and gasified. C₁₀H₂₂ to C₁₅H₃₂. Petroleum derived diesel is composed of about 75% saturated hydrocarbons (primarily paraffins including n, iso, and cycloparaffins), and 25% aromatic hydrocarbons (including naphthalenes and alkylbenzenes).^[1] The average chemical formula for common diesel fuel is C₁₂H₂₆, ranging from approx. In the maritime field various grades of diesel fuel are used.

Diesel contains approximately 18% more energy per unit of volume than gasoline, which, along with the greater efficiency of diesel engines, contributes to fuel economy (distance traveled per volume of fuel consumed). Biodiesel is an effective lubricity additive. However, lowering sulfur also reduces the lubricity of the fuel, meaning that additives must be put into the fuel to help lubricate engines. It prevents the use of catalytic diesel particulate filters to control diesel particulate emissions, as well as more advanced technologies, such as nitrogen oxide (NOx) adsorbers (still under development), to reduce emissions.

High levels of sulfur in diesel are harmful for the environment. diesel fuel typically also has a lower cetane number (a measure of ignition quality) than European diesel, resulting in worse cold weather performance and some increase in emissions. U.S. In contrast, the United States has long had "dirtier" diesel, although more stringent emission standards have been adopted with the transition to ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) occurring in 2006 (see also diesel exhaust).

In Europe, emission standards and preferential taxation have both forced oil refineries to dramatically reduce the level of sulfur in diesel fuels. Diesel fuel, however, often contains higher quantities of sulfur. Diesel is generally simpler to refine than gasoline and often costs less (although price fluctuations often mean that the inverse is true; for example, the cost of diesel traditionally rises during colder months as demand for heating oil, which is refined much the same way, rises). When burnt diesel typically releases about 147,000 British thermal units (BTU) per US gal (40.9 megajoules (MJ) per liter), whereas gasoline releases 125,000 BTUs per US gal (34.8 MJ/l), also about 15% less.

Diesel typically weighs about 7.1 pounds (lb) per US gallon (gal) (850 grams per liter (g/l)), whereas gasoline weighs about 6.0 lb per US gal (720 g/l), or about 15% less. Petro Diesel is considered to be a fuel oil and is about 18% denser than gasoline. As a hydrocarbon mixture, it is obtained in the fractional distillation of crude oil between 250 °C and 350 °C at atmospheric pressure. Diesel is produced from petroleum, and is sometimes called petrodiesel (or, less seriously, dinodiesel) when there is a need to distinguish it from diesel obtained from other sources.

. The term typically refers to fuel that has been processed from petroleum, but increasingly, alternatives such as biodiesel or biomass to liquid (BTL) or gas to liquid (GTL) diesel that are not derived from petroleum are being developed. Diesel or Diesel fuel is a specific fractional distillate of fuel oil (mostly petroleum) that is used as fuel in a diesel engine invented by German engineer Rudolf Diesel.
