51Algae fuel — might be an alternative to fossil fuel and uses algae as its source of natural deposits. Several companies and government agencies are funding efforts to reduce capital and operating costs and make algae fuel production commercially viable.[1]… …
52Conformal fuel tank — An F 15E Strike Eagle fitted with conformal fuel tanks under the wing roots …
53Alcohol fuel — Although fossil fuels have become the dominant energy resource for the modern world, alcohol has been used as a fuel throughout history. The first four aliphatic alcohols (methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol) are of interest as fuels because …
54Methanol fuel — This article is about methanol used as a fuel. For other alcohols used as fuels, see Alcohol fuel. Methanol is an alternative fuel for internal combustion and other engines, either in combination with gasoline or directly ( neat ). It is used in… …
55Butanol fuel — Butanol may be used as a fuel in an internal combustion engine. Because its longer hydrocarbon chain causes it to be fairly non polar, it is more similar to gasoline than is ethanol. Butanol has been demonstrated to work in some vehicles designed …
56Cold inflation pressure — is the inflation pressure of tires before the car is driven and the tires warmed up. Recommended cold inflation pressure is displayed on the owner s manual and on the placard (or sticker) attached to the vehicle door edge, pillar, glovebox door… …
57HP (high-pressure) cock — The cock(s) used to stop the engine by cutting off the fuel supply to the burners. These may be electrically or manually controlled and are usually incorporated into fuel control units to eliminate unnecessary pipe connections. Unlike the low… …
58variable-stroke fuel pump — A type of high pressure pump normally used in the fuel system and sometimes in the hydraulic system, whose output can be varied, as required. This is done by varying the stroke of the piston by altering the swash plate angle. Also known as a… …
59low-pressure cock — Generally referred to as LP cock. An on off cock located in the aircraft fuel system normally immediately after the main fuel supply tank. Once turned off, the fuel supply to the engine is stopped. The cock may be manually or electrically… …
60residual pressure — Fuel pressure maintained within the system after engine shutdown. Also, pressure remaining in a hydraulic circuit after the brakes have been released Pressure remaining in a hydraulic circuit after the brakes have been released …
