  2. Propane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane

    Propane is used as a feedstock for the production of base petrochemicals in steam cracking. Propane is the primary fuel for hot-air balloons. It is used in semiconductor manufacture to deposit silicon carbide. Propane is commonly used in theme parks and in movie production as an inexpensive, high-energy fuel for explosions and other special ...

  3. Homogeneous charge compression ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneous_charge...

    Advancements in fuel modelling—HCCI combustion is driven mainly by chemical kinetics rather than turbulent mixing or injection, reducing the complexity of simulating the chemistry, which results in fuel oxidation and emissions formation. This has led to increasing interest and development of chemical kinetics that describe hydrocarbon oxidation.

  5. Fuel injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_injection

    The only thing all fuel injection systems have in common is the absence of carburetion. There are two main functional principles of mixture formation systems for internal combustion engines: internal and external. A fuel injection system that uses external mixture formation is called a manifold injection system.

  6. Autogas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogas

    The different autogas systems generally use the same type of filler, tanks, lines and fittings but use different components in the engine bay. Liquid injection systems use special tanks with circulation pumps and return lines similar to petrol fuel injection systems. There are three basic types of autogas system.

  7. Liquefied petroleum gas - Wikipedia

    However, in many European countries, this tax break is often compensated by a much higher annual tax on cars using LPG than on cars using petrol or fuel-oil. Propane is the third most widely used motor fuel in the world. 2013 estimates are that over 24.9 million vehicles are fueled by propane gas worldwide.

  8. Liquid-propellant rocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-propellant_rocket

    Liquid rocket engines have tankage and pipes to store and transfer propellant, an injector system and one or more combustion chambers with associated nozzles.. Typical liquid propellants have densities roughly similar to water, approximately 0.7 to 1.4 g/cm 3 (0.025 to 0.051 lb/cu in).

  9. MAPP gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAPP_gas

    A set of MAPP and oxygen cylinders is used for oxy-fuel welding and cutting.. MAPP gas was a trademarked name, belonging to The Linde Group, a division of the former global chemical giant Union Carbide, for a fuel gas based on a stabilized mixture of methylacetylene (propyne), propadiene and propane.
