It's now in the hands of a museum.I had a picture in my old files with that thing parked at Malaga, Spain with no drip pans under the engines and slobbering oil allover the ramp.Also personal witness to the Rainbow warrior «sailing» under power - using the «D - Sail» putting out an nice nasty cloud
of unburned hydrocarbons.....
The use of biodiesel in a conventional diesel engine results in substantial reduction
of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter compared to emissions from diesel fuel.
They do not have catalytic converters and their emissions
of unburned hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide are quite high.
Not exact matches
Alkane
hydrocarbons (propane, isobutane, and n - butane) from liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are present in major quantities throughout Mexico City air because
of leakage
of the
unburned gas from numerous urban sources.
But what is totally detrimental is the amount
of solvent chains (
unburned hydrocarbons, hex rings) and carbon abrasive particles that are now part
of this oil.
In particular, aircraft jet engines produce carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), oxides
of sulfur (SOx),
unburned or partially combusted
hydrocarbons (also known as volatile organic compounds, or VOCs), particulates, and other trace compounds.
Usually contains platinum, palladium and / or rhodium, which acts as a catalyst in a chemical reaction that converts
unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides
of nitrogen into water vapor, carbon dioxide and other gases that are less toxic than untreated exhaust fumes
Retarding the spark or cutting the throttle dumps
unburned hydrocarbons into the exhaust; too much
of it will overheat the catalytic converter, a filter attached to the exhaust system that reduces air pollution.
The included valve angle is 35 degrees, to decrease the surface - to - volume ratio
of the combustion chambers and help create a flatter, more compact combustion chamber that reduces
unburned hydrocarbon emissions.
One
of the hard parts about fighting CO2 emissions, vs. all the other emissions we have tackled in the past (NOx, SOx, soot / particulates,
unburned hydrocarbons, etc), is that we simply don't know how to combust fossil fuels without creating CO2 — CO2 is inherent to the base chemical reaction
of the combustion.
