Ok someone slap me. Diesal explodes when you compress it right? Too lazy to google for it now. Someone just answer me and slap me crazy.

QUOTE(soulshadow @ Sep 30, 2005 - 10:19 PM) Ok someone slap me. Diesal explodes when you compress it right? Too lazy to google for it now. Someone just answer me and slap me crazy. ![]() [right][snapback]340075[/snapback][/right] the diesel fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and it ignites spontaneously because the air was adiabatically compressed (quick compression where thermal losses to the environment are neglible and therefore W=nCvT) on the upwards stroke. The high compression of diesel engines means that the air becomes very hot. and in fact, early diesel prototypes did operate with coal dust, no water though ![]() i find it funny when people, usually ignorant, believe these conspiracy theories. water in itself can not be used as a source of energy (although there is a proposal that involve releasing energy through catalytic quantum cascading in atomic hydrogen that has niether been proved nor disproved to my knowledge, in fact NIAC tested the concept with promising results), i cant be the only person in here that has taken chemistry and thermodynamics. energy isnt free, of course you can break down water into h2 and o2 through a number of processes such as electrolysis, steam-methane reformation, even photolysis, but none of these processes creates energy. in fact energy is lost. oil is nice because its just sitting there. -------------------- ![]() I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |
