Science answers: Spent fuel is more dangerous because it contains a mixture of fission products, some of which can be long - lived radioactive waste, and also plutonium which is highly toxic.

These include a cleaning solvent called 1 - bromopropane, a wood preservative mixture known as pentachlorophenol and cumene, which can be found in fuel products and even tobacco smoke.

Conventional cars use an air - fuel mixture in which all the oxygen and fuel is burned during combustion.

The image this approach evokes for me is that of designing a car in which the driver has to twist dozens of individual knobs to control the fuel mixture, spark advance and valve clearances, among other things — when all he wants to do is go from one place to another.

It will focus on catalyst development for four applications: proton exchange membrane fuel cells to convert stored energy in non-fossil fuels into electricity; electrolysers for splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen — a potential clean fuel cell source; syngas, a mixture of CO and H2, which is generated from coal, gas and biomass, and widely used as a key intermediate in the chemical industry; and lithium - air batteries.

Effectively, you need to approach this problem the other way» round: run at a lower heart rate to make you body better at running with a more fat - oriented mixture of metabolic fuel (which will allow it to produce and burn more fuel at higher rates while maintaining the same ratios).

On the other hand, a spark plug which is too cold, will tend to not burn all of the air fuel mixture within the cylinder, which also means worse gas mileage and sub-par performance as well.

This is because it will have a race camshaft which opens the inlet valves very early, it may hold the inlet and exhuast valves open at the same time to improve chamber filling using the negative pressure in the exhaust (i.e. scavange it's inlet plenum) and it will keep the valves open for as long as possible to let the maximum about of air / fuel mixture into the cylinders.

The Colortune isn't to determine the color of the spark, but for the color of the combustion itself, which is useful for tuning fuel / timing (leaner mixtures will be bluer in color, where richer mixtures are redder.

The piston goes down in the cylinder, which creates a vacuum, which is filled by the air / fuel mixture.

It could possibly be that your fuel - air mixture is too lean, which means there's no excess fuel to evaporate and cool the engine.

Due to the behavior of the working fluid (air and fuel mixture) before and after combustion, which have physical limitations on their flow, as well as their interaction with the ignition spark, the optimal valve timing, lift and duration settings under low RPM engine operations are very different from those under high RPM.

Portion of the engine where the air / fuel mixture is ignited and converted to mechanical energy; includes all the space above the piston at top - dead - center (TDC), including the cylinder head, which forms the top of the combustion chamber.

This induces swirl of the intake charge which improves air / fuel atomization in the cylinder and allows for a leaner fuel mixture to be used.

At this year's IAA, Opel displays the Flexpower, a Vectra sedan which appears unchanged from the outside, yet has a two - liter turbo engine that can run on E85 bioethanol fuel, conventional gasoline or any mixture of the two.

It forces a denser mixture of fuel and air into the engine, which increases power while only marginally affecting fuel mileage.

The turbocharger pressurizes each cylinder with a denser mixture of fuel and air, which increases power.

The air - fuel mixture in an engine's cylinders has a certain electrical conductivity, which varies — especially as «knock,» or detonation, occurs in a cylinder.

With the aid of simulations for the fuel mixture and the combustion process, the pistons have been designed with special piston bowl geometry which concentrates the lean mixture in the area around the spark plug and prevents it from spreading out towards the cylinder wall.

The additional 90 horsepower in this Sport Supercharged comes from just that, a supercharger, which is essentially a fan that pumps a fuel and air mixture into the engine under pressure.

That, Stephan Reil, Head of Technical Development for Audi Sport, says was done for a number of reasons many of which would only appeal to hardcore engineers, but it basically comes down to burning a better mixture of air and injected fuel in the combustion chambers.

The 2.3 - liter inline - four gas engine is optimized for efficiency with the Atkinson combustion cycle, which lowers the effective displacement of the engine by letting a bit of the fuel - air mixture out through the intake valves at the beginning of compression.

SKYACTIV - X is the world's first commercial gasoline engine to use compression ignition, in which the fuel - air mixture ignites spontaneously when compressed by the piston

It innovatively controls combustion of the fuel and air mixture, which leads to the improvement in efficiency of up to 10 %.

This new combustion method does not merely use spark ignition to assist compression ignition, but delivers an all - encompassing combustion control system which includes control of in - cylinder temperature and pressure and control of the fuel injection's air - fuel mixture distribution density and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).

Many of these small internal combustion engines used for yardwork can release as much as 30 % of the fuel / oil mixture as unburned pollutants into the atmosphere due to incomplete combustion, which not only wastes fuel and money, but also contributes to air pollution.

Then add to that flexible - fuel cars, which have a special chip and fuel line that enable them to burn alcohol (ethanol or methanol), gasoline or any mixture of the two.

Your house explodes in a fireball from a toxic mixture of methane gas and natural gas (due to the location of the toilet waste tank and the fuel tank which are situated side - by - side at the rear of your house, right under your rock»em - sock»em bed).
