Adding waste to a thermal power plant
composite fuel may serve as the basis for reducing the total amount of buried MSW, encourage the development of related MSW treatment technology and cut thermal coal consumption for power generation, said Dmitry Glushkov, an associate professor at the TPU Research School of High-Energy Physics.

composite fuel pipes and isolators for the carbon wings of Airbus's A350XWB.
"We are looking at
composite fuel tanks for many aerospace applications."
--emission of CO and hydrocarbons increases with the rise in the C/H ratio in the fuel and decreases with the rise in the temperature of combustion of
composite fuel;
"Coating the
composite fuel cell is something we could offer to protect it from heat and lower the fuel temperature inside," said Whyman.
Composite fuel tanks are more than 55 per cent lighter than their steel equivalents, improving the overall performance and endurance of the vehicle while also enabling greater distances to be travelled without refuelling.
The Chevrolet Volt will be the "first mass-produced vehicle to claim more than 100 miles per gallon (42.51 kilometers per liter)
composite fuel economy," GM boasted in a statement.
Fairly well-known is that ethanol can eat away at older gaskets and seals, corrode aluminum and cause a nasty reaction with
composite fuel tanks that can gum up the works.
Some rigid tanks use existing structures like a large tubular main-spar --Grumman singles--and just seal it, while others design an area to accommodate a separate aluminum or
composite fuel tank (many Cessna singles).
