English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Motor Vehicles and Bicycles
  • Motorized Sports
CONT

A Top Fuel dragster—distinguished by a supercharged, custom-built, 500-cubic-inch engine—boasts 11,000 horsepower and burns nitromethane. By contrast, a Top Alcohol dragster’s output is about approximately 4,000 hp [horsepower].

CONT

Top Fuelers use supercharged engines that burn a mixture of 90 percent nitromethane and 10 percent methanol. Top Alcohol dragsters may be powered by one of two different powerplants, either a supercharged methanol-burning engine or an injected nitromethane combination.

Record 2 2008-07-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Biomass Energy
CONT

Methanol synthesis consists of gasifying the biomass to make a carbon monoxide-hydrogen mixture.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génie chimique
  • Énergie de la biomasse
CONT

Le méthanol est de loin l'alcool le moins cher, c'est la base des carburants de substitution d'origine charbonnière ou végétale. A partir du gaz de synthèse (provenant de gazéification à l'oxygène du charbon, de lignite comme de biomasse) H2 + CO les procédés classiques de synthèse du méthanol sont applicables.

CONT

Plusieurs opérations de gazéification de bois suivies de synthèse de méthanol ont déjà été initiées.

Record 5 1999-03-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Gas Industry
DEF

A mixture composed essentially of hydrogen and carbon monoxide often in a ratio of 2 to 1, produced by various methods(as by the action of steam with or without oxygen on coal or lignite, by the action of steam or oxygen on methane or natural gas... and used chiefly in the synthesis of methanol and ammonia, in the Fischer-Tropsch process, and in the oxo process.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génie chimique
  • Industrie du gaz
CONT

Le gaz de synthèse était obtenu en ajoutant de l'hydrogène au gaz à l'eau provenant de gazogènes classiques et contenait 2 volumes de H2 pour un volume de CO.

CONT

[...] il s'avère utile de convertir le charbon en gaz de synthèse ou gaz intermédiaire à base de CO + H2. Ce gaz de synthèse peut être transporté en l'état, ou mieux méthanisé en GNS. [...] Il peut être converti en carburant ou combustible liquide (comme le méthanol).

  • Pharmacology
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
DEF

A mixture of eosin and methylene blue in absolute methanol. It is a variant of the Romanowsky stain and is the most commonly used stain for blood films and bone marrow aspirates. It is also used for staining certain microorganisms, such as malarial parasites.
