Gas to liquid or GTL is a refinery process to convert natural gas or other gaseous hydro-carbons into longer-chain hydro-carbons. Methane-rich gases are converted into liquid fuels via the Fischer Tropsch process. Using such processes, refineries can convert some of their gaseous waste products into valuable fuel oils, which can be sold as or blended only with Diesel fuel. This process will be increasingly significant as crude oil resources are depleted, while natural gas supplies are projected to last into the 22nd century. Fischer-Tropsch Process for Synthetic Diesel Fuel The Fischer-Tropsch process is a catalyzed chemical reaction in which carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane are converted into liquid hydrocarbons of various forms. ... Diesel fuel is a specific fractional distillate of fuel oil (mostly petroleum) that is used in a diesel engine invented by German engineer Rudolf Diesel, and perfected by Charles F. Kettering. ...
The motion of solids and the reaction to external forces are described by Newton's Laws of Motion.
Scientists refer to the large scale motion of the gas as the macro scale and the individual molecular motions as the micro scale.
A plasma is a fluid, like a liquid or gas, but because of the charged particles present in a plasma, it responds to and generates electro-magnetic forces.
