  2. Marine diesel oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_diesel_oil

    MDO is widely used by medium speed and medium/high speed marine diesel engines. It is also used in the larger low speed and medium speed propulsion engine which normally burn residual fuel. [1] Those fuels result from a catalytic cracking and visbreaking refinery. [1] Marine diesel oil has been condemned for its nimiety of sulfur, so many ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_fuel

    Diesel fuel has many colloquial names; most commonly, it is simply referred to as diesel.In the United Kingdom, diesel fuel for road use is commonly called diesel or sometimes white diesel if required to differentiate it from a reduced-tax agricultural-only product containing an identifying coloured dye known as red diesel.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion

    Dual fuel engines are fueled by either marine grade diesel, heavy fuel oil, or liquefied natural gas (LNG). A Marine LNG Engine has multiple fuel options, allowing vessels to transit without relying on one type of fuel. Studies show that LNG is the most efficient of fuels, although limited access to LNG fueling stations limits the production of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieselisation

    The two-stroke diesel engine for marine applications was introduced in 1908 and remains in use today. It is the most efficient prime mover to date, models such as the Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C offer a thermal efficiency of 50% and over 100,000 horsepower. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_diesel_and_diesel

    A gearbox and clutches enable either of the engines or both of them together to drive the shaft. Two advantages over simply using a single, larger diesel engine of the same total power output are that (1) diesel engines have somewhat better specific fuel consumption at 75% to 85% max output than they do at only 50% output, and (2) there is a weight and size advantage to using two higher-speed ...

  9. Petroleum geology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_geology

    In terms of source rock analysis, several facts need to be established. Firstly, the question of whether there actually is any source rock in the area must be answered. . Delineation and identification of potential source rocks depends on studies of the local stratigraphy, palaeogeography and sedimentology to determine the likelihood of organic-rich sediments having been deposited in the
