	The calculated amount of mols (n) is consumed per tick and depending on the fuel type, this helps to determine the overall power generated as well as heat load. Once calculated, the amount of mols of different ~~gase~~ taken from the input pipe is based on the relative ratios of the gases in the pipe network. Liquids are not ignored in this calculation. Liquid fuels can theoretically be used but caution is advised since a gas pipe network tolerates up to 2% of its liquid volume in liquids. The more ideal a fuel is, the better the power generation from the fuel.

The more ideal a fuel ratio is, the better the power generation from the fuel.

	To control how much fuel is burned in the gas fuel generator, you can use a pressure regulator to limit how much gas is present in the input pipe network for the gas fuel generator. The numerator for the formula determines how much pressure is needed to have maximum generation. For example: if the input pipe network is a single 10L pipe, then a pressure regulator set to 100kpa is max power generation. If the input pipe network is a 100L pipe network, then a pressure regulator set to 10 kpa is max power generation. If you want a simple control from 0 - 100% of power generation, a single 10L input pipe network with a pressure regulator that varies from 0 to 100 kpa will help to control power generation and heat load. Liquids disrupt this calculation since they have a higher molar density that could occur with lower pressure.

			=== Fuel Consumption ===
			The gas fuel generator consumes fuel from the input pipe based on the following formula:

			* n = 1000 / RT
			* R = 8.3144, n = mols of gas consumed, T = Temperature of the gas (in kelvin) in the input pipe
			* ex: a 20C fuel (293.15) means n = 1000 / (8.3144 * 293.15) = 0.4103 mols consumed

			The calculated amount of mols (n) is consumed per tick and depending on the fuel type, this helps to determine the overall power generated as well as heat load. Once calculated, the amount of mols of different gase taken from the input pipe is based on the relative ratios of the gases in the pipe network. Liquids are not ignored in this calculation. Liquid fuels can theoretically be used but caution is advised since a gas pipe network tolerates up to 2% of its liquid volume in liquids. The more ideal a fuel is, the better the power generation from the fuel.

			To control how much fuel is burned in the gas fuel generator, you can use a pressure regulator to limit how much gas is present in the input pipe network for the gas fuel generator. The numerator for the formula determines how much pressure is needed to have maximum generation. For example: if the input pipe network is a single 10L pipe, then a pressure regulator set to 100kpa is max power generation. If the input pipe network is a 100L pipe network, then a pressure regulator set to 10 kpa is max power generation. If you want a simple control from 0 - 100% of power generation, a single 10L input pipe network with a pressure regulator that varies from 0 to 100 kpa will help to control power generation and heat load.

 * Power generation (as well as heat generated) scales with the amount of fuel available in the input pipe, up to a limit defined by the mix of gases used.  This is determined by the moles of gas available in the input, not the absolute pressure.

It should generally be set very low at first (potentially as low as as '''0.1kPa''', using a [[Labeller]] to enter decimal values, but this is dependent on the input pipe's volume), since it can be difficult to keep cool when run at full power.
