In most cases the difference of power output from diesel engines alone to diesel and turbine power combined is too large for controllable-pitch propellers to limit the rotations so that the diesels cannot continue to operate without changing the gear ratios of their transmissions. Because of that, special multi-speed gearboxes are needed.
Power-to-gas (often abbreviated P2G) is a technology that uses electric power to produce a gaseous fuel. [1]Most P2G systems use electrolysis to produce hydrogen.The hydrogen can be used directly, [2] or further steps (known as two-stage P2G systems) may convert the hydrogen into syngas, methane, [3] or LPG.

In September 1965, Air Force Space Systems Division announced the development of a new, low cost upper stage called Burner II, powered by Thiokol TE-M-364-2 engine. [2] It was intended as the smallest maneuverable upper stage in the Air Force inventory. In June 1967, the first Thor/Burner II vehicle successfully launched a pair of satellites to ...
The powdered coal from the pulverizer is directly blown to a burner in the boiler. The burner mixes the powdered coal in the air suspension with additional pre-heated combustion air and forces it out of a nozzle similar in action to fuel being atomized by a fuel injector in an internal combustion engine. Under operating conditions, there is ...
The Thor-Burner was an American expendable launch system, a member of the Thor rocket family. [1] [2] It consisted of a Thor missile, with one or two Burner upper stages.[1] [2] It was used between 1965 and 1976 to orbit a number of satellites, most commonly Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) weather satellites.
Flare stack at the Shell Haven refinery in England. A gas flare, alternatively known as a flare stack, flare boom, ground flare, or flare pit, is a gas combustion device used in places such as petroleum refineries, chemical plants and natural gas processing plants, oil or gas extraction sites having oil wells, gas wells, offshore oil and gas rigs and landfills.
Cold solutions of these organic compounds bind CO 2, but the binding is reversed at higher temperatures: CO 2 + 2 HOCH 2 CH 2 NH 2 ↔ HOCH 2 CH 2 NH + 3 + HOCH 2 CH 2 NHCO − 2. As of 2009, this technology has only been lightly implemented in coal-fired power plants because of capital costs of installing the facility and the operating costs ...
CD+G or CD+Graphics, a format of Compact Disc including both audio and video graphics; Card-driven game, a type of wargaming; CAIA Delay-Gradient, in computer networking, a congestion control algorithm
