How is kerosene heated in an aircraft engine to become flammable?
Hello, I'm giving my GFS on aircraft engines next week. However, I don't yet know how the kerosene is heated to make it flammable. Can anyone help me?
Differences between fractional distillation, cracking and reforming?
Hello, I have to give a presentation in chemistry about the processing of crude oil. The topics include: fractional distillation, cracking, and reforming. I don't quite understand what the difference is, can someone briefly summarize it for me regards and many thanks in advance
What do you think about the practice of draining kerosene from an airplane?
Did you know that last Friday 89 tons of kerosene were dumped over Saarland and the Palatinate Forest? For example, the Rhineland-Palatinate Environmental Agency reports 21 releases of 600 tonnes of kerosene nationwide in 2018 (the last specified time frame), seven of which were releases of 156 tonnes in Rhineland-Palatinate alone. The Federal Environment Agency…
Why is an airplane not allowed to land with a full tank?
Fuel dumping occurs when an aircraft still contains too much kerosene. But what exactly is the problem? What if the plane had to make a U-turn for technical reasons immediately after takeoff from Germany to the US? Would 100-1,000 liters of fuel be released into the sea?
How can an aircraft's fuel tank overflow – is there no shutdown mechanism?
On our flight, boarding was delayed because the tank overflowed on one side and the fire department first had to neutralize the kerosene pool on the ground. Don't tankers, like any car pump, have a mechanism that automatically switches off when the tank is full?
What does an airplane drop on the ground?
Good morning, Today at the airport, I saw a normally parked passenger plane leaking a liquid. I wondered what it was. I'd read something about kerosene online, but that didn't seem plausible. Can someone explain this to me? 🙂
Why aren't runways built on a slope?
The planes could taxi down the runway and then start their engines shortly before the end of the runway to take off. The braking distance during landing would also be shorter because the plane would have to taxi uphill. This would save kerosene and the environment would also be happy.
How much does it cost to fully fuel a Cesna 152?
Question is above Best regards
Where do airports and lands get their kerosene?
I have to write a paper on kerosene and I need to understand the differences between urban and rural areas, and whether this "technology" is widely available. So, how exactly do airports and landing sites get their kerosene? Do they get it directly from the refinery? Or are there specific places where kerosene is purchased?…
How does the kerosene get to the airport?
How does the kerosene get to the airport if the plane is refueled from the ground?
