Science on Stage

The greatest of all pipelines in the United States is the Big Inch which was sponsored by the Petroleum Administration. Two-foot diameter Great customs origin in a wider perspective, Texas, on the edge of the oil field in eastern Texas and ended 1254 miles away Phoenixville, Pa., which feeds oil to the refineries in New York and Philadelphia. The longest pipeline in the country Little Big Inch is 1475 miles long and 20 inches in diameter. There are a variety of products, the implementation of fuel and other products from refineries in Texas and Louisiana, in New York outlets. The Free Big Inch $ 78.5 million, while the Little Big Inch cost $ 66,500,000 for construction. The most important step in this process of extraction of oil are used for the final consumer, whether civil or fighter, was refined.

For consumers, the refinery is a fascinating person, but within the industry is not a step in any place of the oil wells at the gas station next door, a fascinating side of the comparison. For half a century, the tanker was achieved by pushing the sale of the four main products: kerosene (oil or coal), lubricants, gasoline and heating oil. Then 30 years ago, came with the molecules of the oil tanker could be organized in a number of new products. The scientists took the stage. He has many ways the molecules up to the refineries juggle 400-1945-production of heat for households, energy ships, the scope of the motors to suppress even found mobile, facilitating the backbone of the plastic, and many other things.
In 1939 the chemical industry had their shelves with services that were filled at the stage of the test tube because of the prohibitive cost of manufacture. These triumphs of the gelatin probe was gasoline, which as a liquid security, because it was not explode so easily than other types of gasoline. Diesel is also good to use the tractor. There were also a lubricant that the temperature has been questioned.

When the Second World War began, have made the Nazi leadership, which hung the scientists great strides in oil for the trees when a flash master made in Europe. When the United Nations recovered from the shock that started the unit to overcome the Germans.
They were able to make them faster and better, because then the Americans knew it. Americans knew, for example, that the gasoline octane number of 100 of the special flight that energy in an engine designed to take full advantage of their possession pay is.
