heated fuel
1Fuel control unit — is the generic term given to any of several types of control systems for gas turbine engines.Fundamentals of turbine engine controlGas turbine engines are primarily controlled by the amount of fuel supplied to the combustion chambers. With this… …
2Fuel oil — An oil tanker taking on bunker fuel. Fuel oil is a fraction obtained from petroleum distillation, either as a distillate or a residue. Broadly speaking, fuel oil is any liquid petroleum product that is burned in a furnace or boiler for the… …
3Heated air inlet — For other uses, see Warm air intake (disambiguation).A heated air inlet or warm air intake is a system commonly used on the original air cleaner assemblies of carburetted engines to increase the temperature of the air going into the engine for… …
4Fuel injection — Fuel rail connected to the injectors that are mounted just above the intake manifold on a four cylinder engine. Fuel injection …
5fuel cell — a device that produces a continuous electric current directly from the oxidation of a fuel, as that of hydrogen by oxygen. [1920 25] * * * Device that converts chemical energy of a fuel directly into electricity (see electrochemistry). Fuel cells …
6fuel-cooled oil cooler (FCOC)/fuel-oil cooler — A heat exchanger in the form of a radiator, in which the fuel passes through the cooler’s core while oil passes around the core. In this process, the heat of the lubricating oil is passed on to the fuel. A bypass valve (normally, a thermostatic… …
7fuel-air heat exchanger — A method of cooling the fuel that gets heated in prolonged supersonic flight. The heat exchanger is in the form of a radiator in which the fuel passes through the cores while cool air is outside the cores. See fuel heater …
8fuel vapor — [1] atomized air/fuel mixture heated in the engine, ready for combustion [2] fumes given off by gasoline …
9heated air inlet system — (HAI) a system that operates during cold weather and cold start. Brings warm, filtered air into the engine to control the volume of air entering the engine, vaporize the fuel better and reduce HC and CO emissions …
10Oxy-fuel combustion process — Oxyfuel CCS power plant operation Oxy fuel combustion is the process of burning a fuel using pure oxygen instead of air as the primary oxidant. Since the nitrogen component of air is not heated, fuel consumption is reduced, and higher flame… …
