Thermochemical conversion of biomass to petroleum-equivalent liquid fuels is of particular practical interest since this approach would require practically no changes in existing engine technology and transportation infrastructure.
For example, in 2001 the theme was transportation, highlighting notable structures related to rail, steam engine, and motor car transportation.
The last time so much wealth was created so quickly in America was when the internal combustion engine revolutionized transportation and changed America and the world.
Ceramic coatings hold significant promise in the reduction of wear and abrasion failure in reciprocating and rotary engines for transportation and stationary power.
Ceramic coatings have a significant effect in the reduction of wear and abrasion failure in reciprocating and rotary engines for transportation and stationary power.
While the steam engine remained dominant in industry and transportation during much of the 19th century, engineers and scientists began developing other sources and converters of energy.
Main application of bio-oil and biocrude from two main thermochemical processes, i.e., pyrolysis and liquefaction include boiler for heat and electricity production, diesel engine or gas turbine for power generation, and diesel engine for transportation fuel.
The company designed, manufactured, distributed, and serviced diesel and natural gas engines, for transportation, construction, and power generation.
In 1769, Scottish inventor James Watt created an improved version of the steam engine, which enabled humankind to power manufacturing and transportation on a previously impossible scale.
It's hard to imagine why the United States -- or the world -- would need more incentive than responding to climate change to invest in renewables, mandate much tougher efficiency standards for cars and a switch away from the internal combustion engine, and massively scale up public transportation.
