  2. Miscibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscibility

    Diesel fuel is immiscible in water.The bright rainbow pattern is the result of thin-film interference.. Miscibility (/ ˌ m ɪ s ɪ ˈ b ɪ l ɪ t i /) is the property of two substances to mix in all proportions (that is, to fully dissolve in each other at any concentration), forming a homogeneous mixture (a solution).

  3. Crankcase dilution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_dilution

    The job of the piston compression ring is to keep the oil and the exhaust gases from entering the crankcase, but when there is too much wear it can no longer do its job. Other than the piston rings, “blow-by” gases can push the fuel oil past the rings and into the crankcase. [1] “Blow-by” gases are a mix of fuel oil and exhaust gases ...

  4. Hydrogen fuel enhancement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_fuel_enhancement

    Arvin Meritor, a Tier 1 supplier of automotive technology, at one time, was experimenting with a plasma reformer technology which would use hydrogen produced from the fuel to enhance engine combustion efficiency and reduce emissions of NO x. [26] This reference states that a 20% to 30% increase in engine thermal efficiency is possible. However ...

  5. Motor oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

    The International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) also has standards for motor oil. Introduced in 2004, GF-4 [27] applies to SAE 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, and 10W-30 viscosity grade oils. In general, ILSAC works with API in creating the newest gasoline oil specification, with ILSAC adding an extra requirement of fuel ...

  6. Gas blending - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_blending

    A breathing gas is a mixture of gaseous chemical elements and compounds used for respiration. The essential component for any breathing gas is a partial pressure of oxygen of between roughly 0.16 and 1.60 bar at the ambient pressure. The oxygen is usually the only metabolically active component unless the gas is an anaesthetic mixture.

  7. Fuel homogenizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_homogenizer

    A fuel homogenizer is a mechanical device used to improve the quality and combustion efficiency of various fuels by reducing particle size and ensuring a uniform mixture. By applying mechanical shear forces, fuel homogenizers break down larger fuel droplets into smaller, more uniform sizes, promoting better atomization during combustion.

  8. Petroleum product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_product

    The largest share of oil products is used as "energy carriers", i.e. various grades of fuel oil and gasoline. These fuels include or can be blended to give gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel, heating oil, and heavier fuel oils. Heavier (less volatile) fractions can also be used to produce asphalt, tar, paraffin wax, lubricating and

  9. Two-stroke oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_oil

    The oil is dyed blue to make it easier to recognize in the gasoline. It appears black in this bottle because it is not diluted. Two-stroke oil (also referred to as two-cycle oil, 2-cycle oil, 2T oil, or 2-stroke oil) is a special type of motor oil intended for use in crankcase compression two-stroke engines, typical of small gasoline-powered ...
