Hello Vaklin My personal opinion, not sure I'm right or not... + KOH dissolves in seconds in CH3OH Some of it does, but it takes about 10 minutes or more to dissolve what you'd use to make a batch. o The process has not faster than one with NaOH No, and also it's not slower. - KOH here is 3

I just purchased some dipstick engine heaters. But I live in europe and they came from america, so they are 120V. Now, if I plug them in to the 220V plugs, I know that they will give twice the heat. What I want to know is that does the heat dissipate off these things fast enough for it not to

Don't guess I'd try running a 120V heating element on 220V, but if there was a way to use two at a time, I'd wire both in series, and distribute the voltage between the two... doug swanson Teoman Naskali wrote: I just purchased some dipstick engine heaters. But I live in europe and they

Well I am not against racing, but my point is if these researchers look at the racing starting from F1 down to Nascar the picture is not rosy. As you have written in your e-mail F1 team burns a lot (200.000lt per year per team). So if you add them all its more than a drop in the bucket. Let's

Actually, It's not the racing vehicles themselves that are so polluting as it is the balance of the industry. Think about all the billions of miles logged by race fans to go see their superheros every race weekend or bubblegum card signing. Think about all the millions of metric tons of cheap

Yeah, run two of them in series. These are pretty dumb heaters, and I doubt they have any overheat protection. Maybe a thermal fuse if you're lucky. Running them at four times the rated power might get them too hot, even if they were submerged in liquid. They won't care about the 50Hz vs 60Hz

Not twice the heat! More like 3.36 fold increase. Rearrange the formulas describing Ohm's Law and you will see that for a given load (dipstick heater) increasing the voltage from 120v to 220v will increase the power dissipation (heat given off) as follows: (220/120)^2 = 3.361... The

Hi! Difference is only in total cost of the product. I'll try to save every cent because the price of biodiesel produced here is very close to bulk price of dynodiesel. I mean biodiesel produced from fresh not refined vegetable oils. So, my decision is NaOH. At 19:06 24.12.05, you wrote:

You've still got to find end uses for your co-/waste-products. Sodium generates an environmental cost. Potassium generates a monetary and environmental savings. You might care to see how much the savings in fertilizer offsets the higher cost of the catalyst before you make a final decision.
