...yielders. Petroleum hydrocarbons (gasoline, kerosene, etc.) are the commonest aviation fuels only because they are plentiful, convenient and relatively cheap. Many other chemicals yield more energy. Hydrogen has the highest heat of combustion (52,000 B.T.U.* per lb.), but carbon is rather low (14.500 B.T.U. per lb.). Hydrocarbons, which contain both carbon and hydrogen, are therefore intermediate. Kerosene burned in jet engines yields only about 18,500 B.T.U...

"Desire is ever of the future; the desire to become is inaction in the present...

Each of the new semesters will contain 11 weeks; they will be separated by Christmas and Spring vacations...
