maintenance for the engine similar but less than the conventional cars. However, the electric motor and the battery need some checks. 3.4- Advantages and disadvantages: Both cars are known to be a good eco-friendly or in other words green cars, but every car has some advantages and disadvantage. Electric and hybrid are quiet and smooth cars, especially the electric, because it has only an electric motor which nearly make no sound. Harmful emissions are reduced in the hybrid. However, the electric
There are three main types of fuel that powers a combustion engine diesel, gas, and propane. The first engine that was made is the gas engine. There are four main processes that a gas engine has to go through in order to run properly. The first is intake, the piston is pulled down into the cylinder by the crankshaft. This is when a car is running the pistons are always moving up and down. The inlet valve opens which lets a mixture of air and fuel into the cylinder. The next process to make a gas
Mixing the aluminum soap powder with gasoline produced a brownish sticky syrup that burned more slowly than raw gasoline, and hence was much more effective at igniting a target. Compared to previous incendiary weapons, napalm spread further, stuck to the target, burned longer, and was safer to its dispenser because it was dropped and detonated far below the airplane. It was also cheap to manufacture. Modern day napalm uses no
(c) Industrial activities world-wide contributes much to air pollution. Production of such things like motor vehicle, engine of all kinds, equipment like war weapons and which a times call for testing them at open places cause air pollution. The heavy duty engine use in manufactory companies which aid in the work of production of other machines pollutes the air often and thereby cause serious environmental issue that cause a lot of ill-health to human beings. The failure of Nigeria Government
The Internal Combustion Engine What exactly is an internal combustion engine? An internal combustion is “any type of machine that obtains mechanical energy directly from the expenditure of the chemical energy of fuel burned in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the engine”(Funk & Wagnalls). Most internal combustion engines are used to power automobiles, trucks, and motorcycles for transportation while other engines are used to power generators and tools. The first successful engine
The environmental effects due to increasing consumption levels of fuels like coal; lignite, oil and nuclear etc. are of growing concern to various researchers. The combustion of these fuels in industries has been a major source of pollution. Coal production through open cast mining; its supply to and consumption in power stations and industrial
