Liquid nitrogen is the most commonly used element in cryogenics and is legally purchasable around the world.

Liquid helium is also commonly used and allows for the lowest attainable temperatures to be reached.

Liquid oxygen is used as an oxidizer of hydrogen, but oxygen is not, strictly speaking, a fuel.

Liquid mal-distribution is more frequently the problem than vapor.

Liquid in the Cassie – Baxter state is more mobile than in the Wenzel state.

Liquid and gaseous biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel ( a form of diesel fuel that is produced from crops that yield triglycerides such as soybean oil ), can also be used.

Liquid water is densest, essentially 1. 00 g / cm³, at 4 ° C and becomes less dense as the water molecules begin to form the hexagonal crystals of ice as the freezing point is reached.

* 1973 – Catastrophic BLEVE ( Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion ) in Kingman, Arizona, following a fire that broke out as propane is being transferred from a railroad car to a storage tank, kills 11 firefighters.

The Liquid Crystal Display is intrinsically a “ passive ” device, it is a simple light valve.

Liquid crystal in fluid form is used to detect electrically generated hot spots for failure analysis in the semiconductor industry.

Jonathan Smeeton is a British lighting designer who has also worked under the name of Liquid Len.

Liquid malt extract is a thick syrup.

Liquid nitrogen, a fluid resembling water in appearance, but with 80. 8 % of the density ( the density of liquid nitrogen at its boiling point is 0. 808 g / mL ), is a common cryogen.

This is why a high compression engine requires fuels specially formulated to not self-ignite ( which would cause engine knocking when operated under these conditions of temperature and pressure ), or that a supercharger and intercooler to provide a lower temperature at the same pressure would be advantageous.

In North America, the term " Btu " is used to describe the heat value ( energy content ) of fuels, and also to describe the power of heating and cooling systems, such as furnaces, stoves, barbecue grills, and air conditioners.

Even the exhaust from the burning of fossil fuels is treated via catalysis: Catalytic converters, typically composed of platinum and rhodium, break down some of the more harmful byproducts of automobile exhaust.

With regard to synthetic fuels, an old but still important process is the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of hydrocarbons from synthesis gas, which itself is processed via water-gas shift reactions, catalysed by iron.

Another useful term is the heat of combustion, which is the energy released due to a combustion reaction and often applied in the study of fuels.

Food is similar to hydrocarbon fuel and carbohydrate fuels, and when it is oxidized, its caloric content is similar ( though not assessed in the same way as a hydrocarbon fuel — see food energy ).

A small fraction of the organic carbon transported by the biological pump to the seafloor is buried in anoxic conditions under sediments and ultimately forms fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas.

Of the three fossil fuels, coal has the most widely distributed reserves ; coal is mined in over 100 countries, and on all continents except Antarctica.

Because some materials have both useful mineral content and recoverable calorific value, the distinction between alternative fuels and raw materials is not always clear.

Another use of cryogenics is cryogenic fuels.

There is speculation that this line of research could lead to producing bacteria that have been engineered to perform specific reactions, for example, produce fuels, make medicines, combat global warming, and so on.

This energy flow diagram illustrates how energy is lost as it fuels the metabolic process that transform the energy and nutrients into biomass.

For example, scientific uncertainty fuels the ongoing debate over greenhouse gas regulation and is a major factor in the debate over whether to ban pesticides.

Emulsifiers are not effective at extinguishing large fires involving bulk / deep liquid fuels, because the amount of agent needed for extinguishment is a function of the volume of the fuel, whereas agents such as aqueous film-forming foam ( AFFF ) need cover only the surface of the fuel to achieve vapor mitigation.

Dyson agrees that anthropogenic global warming exists, and has written that " ne of the main causes of warming is the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulting from our burning of fossil fuels such as oil and coal and natural gas.

Heavier hydrocarbons including gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and biofuels can serve as fuels in a SOFC system, but an external reformer is required.

It is a mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate ( saltpeter )— with the sulfur and charcoal acting as fuels, while the saltpeter works as an oxidizer.

The likelihood of permanent brain damage from any given instance of severe hypoglycemia is difficult to estimate, and depends on a multitude of factors such as age, recent blood and brain glucose experience, concurrent problems such as hypoxia, and availability of alternative fuels.

Powered by an energy-dense fuel ( which is very frequently gasoline, a liquid derived from fossil fuels ).

In many situations the disadvantage of hydrogen, relative to carbon fuels, is its storage.

However, the energy density of hydrogen is considerably higher than that of electric batteries, making it a serious contender as an energy carrier to replace fossil fuels.
