This system receives and stores fuel and delivers it to settling tanks. Fuel oils are loaded through deck fill connections that have sample connections provided to permit the fuel to be sampled as it is taken aboard.

Fuels supplied to a ship must be treated on board before use in order to remove solid as well as liquid contaminants. The solid contaminants in the fuel are mainly rust, sand, dust and refinery catalysts.

The equipment used for preparation of oil fuel for delivery to an oil-fired boiler, or equipment used for preparation for delivery of heated oil to an internal combustion engine...

A household is said to be in fuel poverty when its members cannot afford to keep adequately warm at a reasonable cost, given their income.

A fuel pump is a component in motor vehicles that transfers liquid from the fuel tank to the carburetor of the internal combustion engine.

A fuel tank (also called a petrol tank or gas tank) is a safe container for flammable fluids.

Fuel temperature coefficient of reactivity is the change in reactivity of the nuclear fuel per degree change in the fuel temperature.

A measure of resistance of the fuel to flow at a stated temperature. According to ISO, the kinematic viscosity of heavy fuels should be specified in centistokes (cSt = 10-6m2/s) at 100°C.

Invisible smoke technology is based on fuel-water emulsification (FEW), whereby the heavy fuel or diesel oil is homogenised with fresh water before injection into the engine.

By making an emulsion with water the mixture viscosity is dramatically reduced, enabling it to be pumped at ambient temperature in warm countries.

Fugitive emissions are leaks and other irregular releases of gases or vapors from a pressurized containment - such as appliances, storage tanks, pipelines, wells, or other pieces of equipment - mostly from industrial activities.

The support about which a lever pivots.

Highest possible speed of a vessel.

A fumarole is an opening in a planet's crust which emits steam and gases such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen sulfide.

Harmful gas produced by fires, chemicals, fuel, etc.

A functional earth connection serves a purpose other than electrical safety, and may carry current as part of normal operation.

The term functional extra-low voltage (FELV) describes any other extra-low-voltage circuit that does not fulfill the requirements for an SELV or PELV circuit.

A functional requirement defines a function of a system or its component, where a function is described as a specification of behavior between outputs and inputs.

In physics, a state of matter is one of the distinct forms in which matter can exist.

A smokestack of a vessel.
