Question

9. For what two reasons below is canola considered a good crop to potentially use as a straight vegetable oil (SVO) fuel for the Northeast relative to other choices like soybean and sunflower SVO? Select the two correct answers below.

A. You can obtain more oil per unit area (ex. acre) from canola than from soybean and sunflower.

B. Canola oil can run at lower temperatures in engines compared to soybean and sunflower.

C. Canola grows well in warmer climates (ex. Southwestern U.S.)

D. Canola oil is more apt to clog engines than either soybean or sunflower oil.

10. For what two reasons below is it suggested that biodiesel production would be harder to do for small-scale farmers to do on their own farms relative to a regional plant or factory? Select all that apply.

A. Alot of energy is required for esterification

B. Glycerin, a bi-product, is difficult to dispose of properly

C. It is a viscous, thick liquid that is hard to use in engines without proper modification

D. Biodiesel needs to be blended with gasoline, which is not something farmers have on-hand in large quantities

11. Researchers argue that for the foreseeable future plant-based liquid biofuels will be needed for particular applications, while batteries or other forms of sustainable power might be used for others. Where do they think we will we mainly need plant-based liquid biofuels? Select the two applications that are anticipated to need plant-based liquid biofuels?

A. airplanes

B. Mac trucks

C. 2-door hatchback cars

D. motorcycles

Explanation / Answer

9. Canola considered a good crop to potentially use as straight vegetable oil fuel, becauce can run at lower temperature in engines compaired to soyabean and sunflower, and you can obtain more oil per unit area from canola than from soyabean and sunflower.

10. Biodiesel production would be harder to do small scale farmers, is the process of producing the biodiesel through the chemical reactions,so it is expensive because a lot of energy needed for its estimation.

Glycerin, a bioproduct its hard to dispose its a heavy and thick liquid which is difficult to dispose properly.

its highly viscous, thick, stickey, liquid it is hard to use in engines without proper modification and for this modification, use of various chemical and machines which are expensive for small scale farmers. and its needs to be blended with gasoline, which are too expensive for farmers to take it in large quantities.

But etanol is a low cost and light biodiesel.

11. biofuel is a fuel is produced through biological process, such as agriculture.biofuels can be derived directly from plants, or indirectly from agriculture. airplane and motorcycle that are realy anticipated to need plant based liquid biofuels because every 2nd person like motor bikes and we want to go out mostly with it so if we use biofuel in bikes we can see the decreasing pollution in our area. and in airplane use of biofuel is can be good for our environment and air and rate of decrease in global warming. we can save our environment.
