The definite presence or absence of hydrocarbons in formations beneath the earth surface can only be established by drilling and it provides the exact estimate of the reservoir pressure and size. Drilling is the most crucial stage of the whole process of exploration and production of hydrocarbons.
The findings on second law of thermodynamics by Carnot were further bolstered by the research carried out by a number of scientists. Two other statements that became popular came from Kelvin-Planck and Clausius. All these have been described here.
The Wankel Engine is a special internal combustion engine, not largely known. After explaining the idea behind the engine and its main parts, we deal with engine common – yet unique – advantages.
Concepts are more welcome now than ever before and if anything can contribute to the crippling energy crisis we seem to be in, it would be almost evangelistic. Hyper cars is a possibility now and you may now read on to know what they are and if it is ever going to be a reality.
The second law of thermodynamics is considered to be the most fundamental law of science. It explains not only the working of engines, refrigerators and other equipments used in our daily life, but also highly advanced theories like big bang, expansion of universe, heat death etc.

The reservoirs of hydrocarbons are situated thousands of meters below the earth’s surface and hence their locations and size below ground cannot be estimated visually. Seismic Surveying gives a picture of the earth’s subsurface which helps us to look beneath earth to locate the oil and gas reserves.
Fuel and Time – what’s common between them? We always seem to run out of it. Now, given this situation and the fact that the world is already in a seemingly inevitable energy crisis, what can we do? We look up to Nuclear energy which is at least closer to our dream of finding alternative fuels.
Nuclear power plants are very useful and safe as long as they are maintained properly and safely. But what can you do if you find one day that the Earth beneath the plant is just tearing apart? Just read about geological faults and risks of Nuclear Power Plant.
To carry out the analysis of the heat engines, the concept of air standard cycles was conceived. In these cycles certain mass of air is considered to be working in the thermodynamic cycle.The two most commonly used air standard cycles are Otto cycle and Diesel cycle.
