Of the 110. 6-metre height of the entire Apollo/Saturn V stack, 42. 1 metres comprise the S-IC first stage. Five F-1 engines, clustered at the bottom of the stage provide 33, 800 kN [kilonewtons] [7, 610, 000 pounds] of thrust. The propellants used are RP-1(Rocket Propellant one or highly refined kerosene) as the fuel and LOX [liquid oxygen] as the oxidizer. The lower of two tanks is filled with 810, 000 litres of RP-1 hours or days prior to launch with a final topping up occurring at T-minus [one] hour. 1, record 1, English, - topping%20up

In many cases, the reformate is then sent to another reactor to remove impurities, such as carbon oxides or sulfur, before it is sent to the fuel cell stack. This prevents impurities in the gas from binding with the fuel cell catalysts. This binding process is also called "poisoning" since it reduces the efficiency and life expectancy of the fuel cell. 2, record 6, English, - poisoning

Il existe de nombreux procédés d'extraction de l'hydrogène : électrolyse, reformage de la vapeur, oxydation partielle, reformage adiabatique, gazéification et craquage de l'ammoniac. 1, record 15, French, - convertisseur%20de%20combustible

Le premier dispositif de transformation du combustible [...] FPM 20(MC) peut produire suffisamment d'hydrogène pour alimenter des modules de piles à combustible leur conférant une puissance de 2 à 6 kW. Grâce la technologie de purification brevetée de IdaTech, [il] peut reformer à la demande un combustible à base de méthanol et d'eau en hydrogène pur à 99,9%, à des rendements de combustible pouvant atteindre 80%, et ce, en produisant moins d'une partie par million de monoxyde de carbone. 2, record 15, French, - convertisseur%20de%20combustible

Much of the mineral particulate matter in a polluted atmosphere is in the form of oxides and other compounds produced during the combustion of high-ash fossil fuel. Most of the mineral matter... presents no air pollution problems. Smaller ash particles called fly ash enter furnace flues and, in a properly equipped stack system, are collected efficiently. However, some of the fly ash particles escape through the stack and enter the atmosphere. 1, record 17, English, - mineral%20particulate%20matter
