“…One of the other major problems with the CNG engine is the gaseous nature of the CNG fuel which causes the reduction in volumetric efficiency up to 10% by displacing the air available for proper combustion [38,45,[50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57]. The maximum potential power therefore will reduce by up to 10% compared to a gasoline engine under similar condition.…”

“…6,7 Among the potential sources for H 2 , ethanol is particularly attractive because of its renewable origin ͑biofuel͒. 1-5 H 2 as a source of energy is one of the mostly wanted fuel because of its very high British thermal unit value and because its oxidation leads to H 2 O formation and is thus not directly contributing to further contamination of the environment by carbon containing products.…”

An InSitu XAS Study of the Structural Changes in a CuOCeO2/Al2O3 Catalyst during Total Oxidation of Propane AIP Conf. Proc. 882, 693 (2007); 10.1063/1.2644635 Small-volume, ultrahigh-vacuum-compatible high-pressure reaction cell for combined kinetic and in situ IR spectroscopic measurements on planar model catalysts Rev. Sci. Instrum. 76, 123903 (2005); 10.1063/1.2140449Reaction kinetics on supported model catalysts: Molecular beam/in situ time-resolved infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy study of the CO oxidation on alumina supported Pd particlesThe reaction of ethanol has been investigated on the surface of Au-Rh/CeO 2 by temperature programmed desorption ͑TPD͒, infrared spectroscopy and in steady state conditions. Most of adsorbed ethanol is found in the form of ethoxides ͑ O-C at 1045 and 1096 cm Ϫ1 ͒. Heating the surface resulted in the transformation of ethoxides to carbonates ͑ COO at 1561 and 1347 cm Ϫ1 ͒ without the presence of stable acetaldehyde or formaldehyde species. By 673 K all surface species has been desorbed. The relative instability of these carbonates when compared to CeO 2 or Rh/CeO 2 indicates that Au is enhancing the rate of oxidation. Most of CO 2 formed during TPD is resulting from carbonate decomposition. Catalytic reactions showed that both CO 2 and H 2 can be formed with high yield over a wide temperature range.

Editor's Note: A hypertext-enhaneed version of this article appears on theJOMWorid Wide Web site. Itean be found at http://www.tms.org/pubs/journalsIJOM/9607 / Alvarado-9607.html.As weight and cost savings drive changes in performance criteria for automotive materials, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are taking a harder look at the historically terne-coated steel used for gas tanks. This article compares steel and plastic for gas tank uses according to performance attributes and a competitive analysis. Legislation issues and current OEM activity are included.
