  synthetic petrol: Synthetic Fuels Ronald F. Probstein, R. Edwin Hicks, 2013-04-15 This book, the outgrowth of a graduate course the authors taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was designed to fill an urgent need—the training of engineers in the production of synthetic fuels to replace dwindling supplies of natural ones. The authors presented synthetic fuels as a unified engineering subject, while recognizing that many of its principles are well-understood aspects of various engineering fields. The presentation begins with a review of chemical and physical fundamentals and conversion fundamentals, and proceeds to coal gasification and gas upgrading. Subsequent chapters examine liquids and clean solids produced from coal, liquids obtained from oil shale and tar sands, biomass conversion, and environmental, economic, and related aspects of synthetic fuel use. The text is directed toward beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates in chemical and mechanical engineering, but should also appeal to students from other disciplines, including environmental, mining, petroleum, and industrial engineering, as well as chemistry. It also serves as a reference and guide for professionals.

  synthetic petrol: Gasification for Synthetic Fuel Production R Luque, J Speight, 2014-08-29 Gasification involves the conversion of carbon sources without combustion to syngas, which can be used as a fuel itself or further processed to synthetic fuels. The technology provides a potentially more efficient means of energy generation than direct combustion. This book provides an overview of gasification science and engineering and the production of synthetic fuels by gasification from a variety of feedstocks. Part one introduces gasification, reviewing the scientific basis of the process and gasification engineering. Part two then addresses gasification and synthentic fuel production processes. Finally, chapters in part three outline the different applications of gasification, with chapters on the conversion of different types of feedstock. - Examines the design of gasifiers, the preparation of feedstocks, and the economic, environmental and policy issues related to gasification - Reviews gasification processes for liquid fuel production - Outlines the different applications of gasification technology
  synthetic petrol: Synthetic Fuel Technology Development in the United States Michael Crow, 1988-11-17 Direct coal liquefaction, a synthetic liquid fuel process, is one of the major developmental alternatives for meeting the anticipated fuel demands for the twenty-first century. This work provides a retrospective assessment of past attempts in this century to develop synthetic liquid fuel and applies the findings to produce reliable and pertinent data for the future. Retrospective technology assessment, a recent methodological invention, is used by the authors to analyze the past synthetic liquid fuel programs and the reasons for their failures. Bringing to bear four different perspectives--economic, technological, policy, and historical--the authors draw broad conclusions that will help guide the next development effort in the United States.
  synthetic petrol: A TEXTBOOK OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND PROBLEM ANALYSIS GHATAK, K. L., 2014-01-01 The book is primarily intended for the students pursuing an honours degree in chemistry. The chapters have been designed to enable the beginners to delve into the subject gradually right from the elementary aspects of organic chemistry, such as properties of molecules and nomenclature, to discussions on organic compounds in the traditional way, that is, beginning with the hydrocarbons and ending up with carboxylic acids and their derivatives with due emphasis on both aliphatic and aromatic compounds. This has been followed by heterocyclic compounds. Chapters on organic reaction mechanism and stereochemistry have been dealt with extra care to enable beginners to master organic chemistry to the core. Natural products, an important part of organic chemistry, have been dealt with due care avoiding too much detail. Each chapter has been supplemented with well chosen worked-out problems to help the students build a strong foundation in the subject.

  synthetic petrol: Petroleum from Coal Anthony N. Stranges, 2024-04-15 Petroleum from Coal shows why and how Friedrich Bergius and Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch in 1913-26 invented and developed synthetic fuel processes; explains why and how Matthias Pier at BASF- IG Farben and Otto Roelen at Ruhrchemie successfully industrialized the syntheses during the Nazi-World War II years; and analyzes the pre- and post-World War II vicissitudes of the synthetic fuel industry. The research of Germany’s scientists in the 1920s-40s made them world leaders in synthetic fuel studies. Information on the synthetic fuel processes has come from the Allied teams who went to Germany and Japan during World War II’s closing months and from British, American, and Canadian synthetic fuel investigations.

  synthetic petrol: Faces of Neutrality Herbert R. Reginbogin, 2009 This important book fills a historical gap and acts as a valuable corrective in the general treatment of Switzerland's role during the Second World War. In addressing all of the moral and historical charges laid at Switzerland's door in relation to Nazi Germany, it does not offer an apology but, far more valuably, provides a sustained, nuanced analysis of the issues at stake. Contending that Swiss neutrality during the Second World War has not only been misunderstood, but has also been unfairly stigmatized, the book's wide-ranging assessment offers a much-needed corrective to received wisdom on the subject. Commendably, it presents a comparative assessment, comparing the Swiss both to European neutrals, and to the U.S. - which, it is often forgotten, defended the posture of neutrality for the first two years of the war. The study highlights the need for careful assessment in the context of more than half a century ago. Seen in those terms, the behavior of the Swiss emerges far more nuanced, more driven by the desperate conditions of total war, and far less susceptible to present-day moralizations than in the work of many writers. This important contribution deepens our understanding of the Second World War.

  synthetic petrol: The Unfulfilled Promise of Synthetic Fuels William Green, Ernest J. Yanarella, 1987-08-26 The dismantling of the Synthetic Fuels Corporation and the shelving of scores of synfuel plant proposals have triggered a need for a searching inquiry into the reasons why the initial promise of synfuels has not been realized. In this volume a distinguished group of political scientists, policy analysts, and energy planners apply the critical tools of economic, scientific, and political analysis in an attempt to illuminate why the dream of synthetic fuels development has ended, at least temporarily. The essays collected here grapple with a variety of problems surrounding the rise and demise of synthetic fuels development in the 1970s.
