Abstract:
An apparatus produces a diesel-oil/water microemulsion and injects the emulsion into a diesel engine. The apparatus has three high pressure cylinders, inlets of two of the high pressure cylinders are connected to a static raw emulsion premier. Outlets of the two high pressure cylinders are connected to a homogenizing valve. An inlet of the third high pressure cylinder is connected to the outlet of the homogenizing valve and the outlet of the third high pressure cylinder is connected to the diesel engine. The three pistons of the three high pressure cylinders are constituent parts of a pressure booster whose drive piston is guided in a drive cylinder which is connected to a hydraulic drive unit.
Abstract:
The invention relates to bicontinuous microemulsions and to the use thereof as a fuel, combustion or heating fluid. Said fuels permit an increased efficiency of internal combustion systems and heating installations of any type and, simultaneously, a minimized emission of pollutants, associated with combustion, to be obtained.
Abstract:
A fuel composition for fuel cells includes a polar solvent such as water, a first portion of a first fuel dissolved in the solvent at a saturated concentration, and a second portion of the first fuel suspended in the solvent to serve as a reservoir of fuel as the dissolved portion is consumed. Preferably, the first fuel is a hydride such as NaBH4. Optionally, the fuel composition also includes a second fuel such as an alcohol that also controls the solubility of the first fuel in the solvent, inhibits decomposition of the first fuel and stabilizes the suspension. Preferably, the fuel composition also includes an additive such as an alkali for stabilizing the first fuel.

Abstract:
A microorganism control combination for liquid hydrocarbon systems containing water is disclosed. The combination is a biocidal control agent and an alkylamine ethoxylate of the formula RXN(CH2CH2OH)Y wherein R is C3 to C18 alkyl or isoalkyl group, X and Y are 1 or 2, Z is 0 or 1, X+Y is not greater than 3, when X or Y is 2 than Z is 0 and when X is 2 the R groups are the same or different C3 to C18 alkyl or isoalkyl groups. The combination provides effective microorganism control with reduced concentration of biocidal control agent.

Abstract:
Described are methods that utilize high efficiency evaporative distillation to make a high softening point coal tar pitch, a quinoline insoluble-free and ash-free coal tar pitch having a desired softening point, and a mesophase coal tar pitch. Each of the methods uses a feed coal tar pitch having a softening point in the range of 70° C. to 160° C. The methods may be carried out using appropriate conventional distillation equipment, a wiped film evaporator, or a thin film evaporator.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Method to determine the viscosity of a water-in-oil emulsion that will be formed by an oil comprising organic acids when mixed with water comprising: determining the value of the expression: η ( emul ) = K η ( oil ) TAN - r ( 1 - ϕ ) 2.5 wherein η(oil) is the viscosity the oil, TAN is the total acid number of the oil, φ is a number in the range of 0.1 to 0.8, r is a number in the range of about 0.5 to 2, and K is a number from about 1 to 20, said determined value, η(emul) being the viscosity of the water-in-oil emulsion. The method is used to prepare water-in-oil emulsions of predetermined viscosity and to improve desalting of oils.
