Gasoline tanks

The atmosphere in gasoline tanks is too rich in hydrocarbons, and in kerosene tanks is too lean in hydrocarbons, so that theoretically, both mixtures of air and vapor are outside the explosivity range. [Pg.277]

When he was about to replace the cap on the end of the filler pipe, a spark jumped from the cap to the pipe, and a flame appeared on the end of the pipe. It was soon extinguished. The flame could not travel back into the gasoline tank. The mixture of vapor and air in the tank was too rich to explode. [Pg.297]

The problem is that hydrogen, even at 10,000 psi (or 690 bar), requires five to ten times the volume of today s gasoline tank, depending on the fuel cell vehicle s real world efficiency. Packaging volume is compromised even further because pressurized tanks require thick carbon fiber walls and are, therefore, nonconformable. Moreover, they may cost several thousand dollars more than a conventional gasoline tank. [Pg.532]

Fig. 2.4.7 Profile of a PE gasoline tank wall. T-, and T2 were measured across the sample, and uniform values of about 90 ms and 300 ps, respectively, were obtained, except for EVOH where T2 drops to 30 [is. The profile amplitude is the coefficient at zero frequency of the FT of the signal obtained as the direct addition of the first 8 echoes generated with a solid-echo train.

Sometimes, part design requires multiple polymer layers. For example, an automotive gasoline tank can consist of both nylon and crosslinked polyethylene to provide combined chemical [-, resistance and strength, To produce multilayered parts, the first polymer, which will form... [Pg.263]

Cycle life, or the ability to maintain consistent performance over many refueling cycles, is clearly another requirement for the storage system. Customers expect the fuel system to be comparable with a gasoline tank (which requires little if any maintenance in current... [Pg.334]

Liquid hydrogen may be a better choice. The GM liquid-fueled HydroGen3 gets about 250 miles on a tank about twice the size of a typical gasoline tank. [Pg.29]

Current tank costs are still in the range of 2500-3000/kg hydrogen ( 75-90/kWh). Costs of gasoline tanks are around... [Pg.312]

In energy terms, a 50 litre gasoline tank is equivalent to a 560 litre tank of compressed hydrogen at 350 bar, or a 330 litre tank of hydrogen at 700 bar, or a 190 litre tank of liquid hydrogen. [Pg.329]

The soil around an old gasoline tank buried in the ground is analyzed for benzene. If 10.00 g of soil shows the concentration of benzene in 100.0 mL of soil extract to be 75.0 ppm, what is the concentration of benzene in the soil in parts per million ... [Pg.178]

Source Comprised 0.1 vol % of total evaporated hydrocarbons from gasoline tank (quoted, Verschueren, 1983). [Pg.471]

Source Comprised 1.6 to 2.6 vol % of total evaporated hydrocarbons from gasoline tank (quoted, Verschueren, 1983). Schauer et al. (1999) reported 2,3-dimethylbutane in a diesel-powered medium-duty truck exhaust at an emission rate of 570 pg/km. [Pg.474]

Service station gasoline tanks contain water with a chemical composition (Mg and Ca) similar to sea water. Iron (rust) and sodium were also found. [Pg.4]

Special devices were attached to gasoline tanks of airplanes by means of which the airplane could be quickly destroyed in case it was forced down in enemy territory... [Pg.342]

One is reminded of the gasoline tank that some would call half full and others half empty. The electroanalytical chemists like the term reversibility and when reality forces a departure from it, they still remain near it. Conversely, physical electrochemists like irreversibility—it shows properties they want to measure. [Pg.703]

A charge of ca 15g of HE was required for ejecting each cylinder from the proj and to impart to it a velocity of lOQOm/sec. Each of these cylinders burned in flight and if one of them hit a combustible object (such as a gasoline tank of an airplane) a fire, or even expin could take piace Refs 1) O.W.
