1Fuel economy-maximizing behaviors — (also known as green driving) describe techniques that drivers can use to optimize their automobile fuel economy. The energy in fuel consumed in driving is lost in many ways, including engine inefficiency, aerodynamic drag, rolling friction, and… …
2Fuel injection — Fuel rail connected to the injectors that are mounted just above the intake manifold on a four cylinder engine. Fuel injection …
3Fuel cell — For other uses, see Fuel cell (disambiguation). Demonstration model of a direct methanol fuel cell. The actual fuel cell stack is the layered cube shape in the center of the image A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a… …
4Fuel efficiency in transportation — This page describes fuel efficiency in means of transportation. For the environmental impact assessment of a given product or service throughout its lifespan, see life cycle assessment. Caveats Comparing Fuel efficiency in transportation is a bit …
5Performance per watt — In computing, performance per watt is a measure of the energy efficiency of a particular computer architecture or computer hardware. Literally, it measures the rate of computation that can be delivered by a computer for every watt of power… …
6number one diesel fuel — Used in cold climates; sometimes blended with number two diesel fuel to increase number one s energy and two s cold weather performance …
7Nuclear fuel — Process …
8octane rating/number — An indicator of a fuel’s ability to burn at a controlled rate at high temperatures and pressures without causing a detonation (very rapid burning or exploding). This number is expressed as a percentage by volume of iso octane in a mixture with a… …
9Jet engine performance — This article describes how jet engine performance is estimated during the design phase. Similar techniques are used once the engine has been built and is being tested, except the performance of individual components, rather than being assumed, is …
10Jet fuel — An Airbus A310 being fueled at Prague Airport Jet fuel is a type of aviation fuel designed for use in aircraft powered by gas turbine engines. It is clear to straw colored in appearance. The most commonly used fuels for commercial aviation are… …
