standard (fuel) capacity is 203,290 lbs\n\nthat's approx' 92,210 kgs\n\nokay?

according to the site:\nwww.freerepublic.com/forum/a3b74982d5c0d.htm\n\nwith this quote:\n\n"acre of U.S. corn yields about 7,110 pounds of corn for processing into 328 gallons of ... energy costs of corn production and its conversion to ethanol, 131,000 BTUs ..."\n\nI calculate about 22 lbs/corn per gallon of ethanol\n\nSounds about right when you think how much corn you would have to eat to sustain you while you pushed a car for 25 miles. \nThats a joke of course but it does remind us that a gallon of ethanol or gasoline has a huge combustion energy.  I have not cross-checked this with other sources but I believe it is close.

Mate this question is very open ended.\nBig fast powerful?\nSmall slow economical"\nPetrol?\nDiesel?\nSingle?\nTwin?\n\nI recently brought a 12m (38') Cougarcat from Bermagui (Southern NSW Coast) to Brisbane a distance of 600 NM. The vessel was powered by two TAMD63 6.3 Litre turbo Volvo Diesels. The vessel burned about 80 litres per hour. Used 2700 litres of fuel. At an average price of $1.65 per litre for diesel, it cost $4400 in fuel to do the trip.\n\nThis was a big relatively fast charter boat. Even at 29' There is a huge difference in fuel burn between a two cylinder diesel in a sail boat using 4 litres per hour and two petrol mercruisers using 120 litres per hour. So it is impossible to answer your question at all until you have some better data.\n\nOne thing to think about would be a Yacht. I must stress though, make sure you learn a lot about sailing both in a theoretical and practical sense before undertaking a journey of this magnitude. I have been driving rescue boats for almost 10 years, and I am still not ready to take on a journey like that one.

Hydrogen isnt used as fuel in any aircraft that are currently in production today.  The fuel I handle most often for aircraft use is JP-8, but there are others out there. They are usually kerosine or kerosine-gasoline blends.

http://energy21.freeservers.com/bookrep.html  Want to know something else? I've found a way to convert gasoline into Propane! And it can never be marketed! All Engines from 1996 on up must run at an Air to Fuel Ratio of 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel! My System goes 100 to 1 Air to Fuel Ratio, but it will never happen! You want something interesting to Research ? This is it!

Straight chain hydrocarbons (e.g., methane, butane, propane, gasoline, deisel) run about 20,000 BTU/lb.  High explosives typically are 2,000 BTU/lb because they must include the heavy oxidizer.  Most other combustibles (wood, paper, methanol, ethanol) are in the range of 5000-10000 BTU/lb.\n\nIt is interesting that high explosives have less energy than firewood.  For explosives, its not the energy, its how fast it is relaesed.

To solve this problem we need to think about limiting reactants.  This one is fairly simple because I already have moles and the ratio is 1:1:1.  If I only have 3 kmols of C, that is the most I can make, because going beyond that, I would be out of C.  Thus, I can only make 3kmols of CO2 with 2 kmols of O2 left unreacted.  These amounts are theoretically find for a combustion reaction.

Several things.\n\nThe US Strategic Petroleum Reserve can be used for defense purposes.  In the event of a major war, you can be absolutely sure that personal travel will be severely curtailed, and as much of that oil will be used for military and defense industry purposes.  Comprised of 4 major oil fields, the SPR has a capacity of 1 billion barrels of oil.\n\nThe US Air Force is currently testing the use of synthetic jet fuel for use as an aviation fuel.   In Sept, a B-52 was flown with two of its eight jet engines equipped to burn a 50:50 blend of conventional jet fuel with synthetically produced jet fuel.\n\nThe US Army has been testing bio-fuels in diesel trucks.  Its use should be a non-issue.  The M1-A1 Abrams tank is powered by a turbine, which can burn a wide variety of fuels, including bio-fuel.\n\nThe US has coal reserves equal to 300 years of consumption at current rates.  Research is underway to efficienty develop synthetic fuels from coal, including in-situ conversion so the coal would not have to be mined.   The US also has huge quantities of oil-containing shale formations in the Rocky Mountains that can be mined and the oil extracted.

The density of diesel fuel varies from one refined lot to the next. The density of diesel fuel ranges from 82%-95% that of water.\n\nSince the weight of water is 8 lbs/gallon, it would stand to reason that a gallon of diesel fuel would be between 6.5 lbs and 7.6 lbs.

Not a good question. Power is related to the volume of fuel/air mixture.

The Air Force recently estimated fuel costs for Air Force One have risen to $6,029 per hour, up from $3,974 an hour in the last budget year.

A Honeywell AGT-1500 gas turbine. It provides 1,500 horsepower and can move the 68 ton Abrams from 0-20mph in seven seconds. With the speed governor installed, it can reach a top speed of 45mph on flat terrain, and about 30mph over rough terrain. The Abrams carries 502 gallons of JP8 jet fuel, which gives the tank a range of about 265 miles on flat ground.
