The fact that none of them are being built today should give you your
answer. They just can't cut it.

Steam is just not an answer, Gunner, no matter how much you may like
it.

Say...isnt the internal combustion engine somewhere around 28%
effecient?

Not the latest ones. We're headed for 40% as a typical number within a
few years. Some cars surpass it now.

Read the first comment by SteamRoss.53. He has it right, except for
the uniflow steam engines running on superheated steam. The whole
point of uniflows is to avoid the need for superheated steam. You can
do it, but it has nothing to do with the uniflow's operation or
performance.

Other than that minor nitpick, the guy knows what he's talking about.

shrug A hyped-up flash-boiler feeding a radial engine. They've been
around for over 100 years.

Intersting.

Note that the feature pushed for the "Cyclone" is fuel flexibility.
That's what drove the Stirling developments in the 1970s, including
Ford's fleet of Stirling-powered postal trucks.

What happened is that we since learned how to burn just about any
liquid or gaseous fuel in IC engines, and they have many advantages.

Bunker fuel will burn in a pickup truck?

If we're reduced to bunker oil, it will mean that your pickup truck is
too hot with radiation to drive, and you'll either be deep underground
or dead.

Do you have bunker oil stations in Taft?

We have bunker oil wells in Taft.

Ha ha ha ha ha! You stupid ignorant ****witted pseudologue. Bunker oil
is a *residue* from the petroleum fractional distillation process. No
well in the world pumps out bunker oil.

Bunker oil is used on ships and covers many fuel oils.
What you are thinking of is residual fuel oil

Correct.

The nym changing troll has little knowledge of the real world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_crude_oil

Crude oil is not bunker oil. Bunker oil is a residual fuel oil:

I see you don't even read your own links
quote:-

Bunker fuel is technically any type of fuel oil used aboard ships. It
gets its name from the containers on ships and in ports that it is
stored in; in the days of steam they were coal bunkers but now they
are bunker fuel tanks.

You left out the rest of it....

"Bunker fuel is technically any type of fuel oil used aboard ships. It
gets its name from the containers on ships and in ports that it is
stored in; in the days of steam they were coal bunkers but now they
are bunker fuel tanks. The Australian Customs and the Australian Tax
Office define a bunker fuel as the fuel that powers the engine of a
ship or aircraft. Bunker A is No. 2 fuel oil, bunker B is No. 4 or No.
5 and bunker C is No. 6. Since No. 6 is the most common, "bunker fuel"
is often used as a synonym for No. 6. No. 5 fuel oil is also called
navy special fuel oil or just navy special; No. 5 or 6 are also called
furnace fuel oil (FFO); the high viscosity requires heating, usually
by a recirculated low pressure steam system, before the oil can be
pumped from a bunker tank. In the context of shipping, the labeling of
bunkers as previously described is rarely used in modern practice."

"Since No. 6 is the most common, "bunker fuel" is often used as a
synonym for No. 6. "

"High viscosity"

"The chief drawback to residual fuel oil is its high initial
viscosity, particularly in the case of No. 6 oil, which requires a
correctly engineered system for storage, pumping, and burning. Though
it is still usually lighter than water (with a specific gravity
usually ranging from 0.95 to 1.03) it is much heavier and more viscous
than No. 2 oil, kerosene, or gasoline. No. 6 oil must, in fact, be
stored at around 100 F (38 C) heated to 150 250 F (66 121 C)
before it can be easily pumped, and in cooler temperatures it can
congeal into a tarry semisolid. The flash point of most blends of No.
6 oil is, incidentally, about 150 F (66 C). Attempting to pump
high-viscosity oil at low temperatures was a frequent cause of damage
to fuel lines, furnaces, and related equipment which were often
designed with lighter fuels in mind.

For comparison, BS2869 Class G Heavy Fuel Oil behaves in similar
fashion, requiring storage at 104 F (40 C), pumping at around 122 F
(50 C) and finalising for burning at around 194 248 F (90 120 C)."

Thank you for being the perfect dummy so we could educate others

You fail to grasp that "bunker oil" is not necessarily residual fuel
oil.
It could be diesel.
Or any other oil used to power ships.

Whereas residual fuel oil is the crap left over when all the useful
stuff is removed.
****ferbrains.

You fail to grasp that *the cite indicated that Bunker Oil is most
commonly #6.

Yes...a capgun can be considered a "firearm", but its most generally
applied to something that may look similar..but had different
properties.

Now 'arry me boyo..**** off woncha mate?

Once again abuse when shown to be wrong. As usual.

Indeed. You have that as the cornerstone of your posting techniques.


The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
