    The document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of LPG/CNG as alternative fuels, options for turbochargers vs superchargers, and SAE and DEMA standards. Regarding fuels, LPG/CNG have lower calorific values but are easily transported via pipelines and burn cleaner than gasoline, while they provide less power and require high-pressure storage. A turbocharger is preferable to a supercharger for a new car since turbochargers are more efficient and cheaper to operate. SAE standards grade motor oils by viscosity while DEMA standards apply to diesel engine performance; SAE is more applicable for lubricant selection and DEMA for engine performance measurements.

    Describe the advantages and disadvantages of LPG/CNG as alternative fuel

    Advantages
    • Low Calorific Value
    • Easily transported through pipelines
    • Does not produce smoke when burnt
    • Can produce sufficient amount of heat and energy

    Disadvantages
    • Reduced Power
    • Limited availability
    • Higher compression is required
    • Storage requires high pressure tanks

    You are buying a new car. One model has a turbo charger while the other has a
    supercharger. Which one will you buy? Why?

    I would pick the one with a turbocharger. It is cheaper, more efficient


    and quiet.

    What are SAE Standards and DEMA Standards? What are the similarities and difference?
    When would it is applicable to follow one standard over the other?

    SAE stands for ' Society of Automotive Engineering '. SAE is a code
    system that grades motor oils based on their viscosity. DEMA stands for
    Diesel Engine Manufacturers Association. DEMA standards apply to mainly
    diesel engines and its performance. When looking for lubricants, oils and
    other similar fluids, SAE is more applicable. For engine performance and
    measurement data, DEMA is more applicable.
