Q9. How much fuel does it burn an hour?

Kosmos Travel Log & 4. FAQ
A9. Our old boat " Seas the Day " was a single engine 8,000 pound boat that went about 25 knots. It burned about 15 gallons an hour at this cruising speed. Bigger dual engine boats range 20-40 gallons an hour. The Nordhavn 43 is about 55,000 pounds. Yet because of its design and slower speed, it consumes only about 2.5 gallons per hour. Slowing down burns as little as 1.8, speeding up can burn 3+. Said another way, we get about 2.5 to 3.

What kind of fuel does 1522 burn?

FAQ
oil - also referred to as Bunker C. To atomize (see next question) properly, the fuel must be kept hot, so steam pipes are routed through the fuel tank in the tender to keep it at 130 degrees F. 1522 did not always burn oil - she was originally built as a coal burner but only stayed that way for a year before being converted. Wood, while burned on real old steam locomotives, does not put out the heat needed to operate larger locomotives like the 1522.

Can we burn both wet and dry fuel?

Boiler & Steam Systems, LLC.
Yes! The big difference is that wet fuel may take 80% more air than dry fuel. Operationally, you may wish to meter the wet and dry fuel to create a consistent fuel blend or you may want to exhaust the least merchantable fuel before using a more valuable fuel. With the controls designed for this scenario, this can easily be accomplished. In general, any time there are continuous variations in fuel quality, it is desirable to have an operator near by the steam plant.

What benefits does Blu-ray offer compared to HD-DVD?

Blu-ray.com - Blu-ray FAQ
Although both Blu-ray and HD-DVD are similar in many aspects, there are some important differences between them. The first is capacity. Because Blu-ray utilizes a lens with a greater numerical aperture (NA) than HD-DVD, the laser spot can be focused with greater precision to fit more data on the same size disc. This allows Blu-ray to hold 25GB per layer (50GB on a dual-layer disc), whereas HD-DVD can only hold 15GB per layer (30GB on a dual-layer disc).

How well does it drain, compared to other sheet drain systems?

Frequently Asked Questions - Geotech Systems Corporation
It has been tested in accordance with ASTM 4716 and has been found to have transmissivity suitable for use in virtually ANY soil condition. Other sheet drains clearly offer greater capacity, but when estimating the amount of drainage actually required for various hydraulic conditions, GeoTech's Insulated Drainage Panel can give design margins of 3 or more. The drainage capacity of our Insulated Drainage Panel is determined by the thickness of the panel as well as the stress normal to the panel.

How quickly does Coral Calcium reach the bloodstream compared with other forms of Calcium?

Coral Calcium - Frequently Asked Questions
Coral Calcium is ionized (that is, it has a positive charge which attracts it to the negatively charged wall of the large intestine where food absorption takes place) and it has particles about 1000 times smaller than most Calcium Chelates and Colloids, hence it absorbs right into the blood stream in only 15 minutes compared to about 20 hours for other types of Calcium. Yes, there is a direct correlation between calcium ion levels and pH.
