What is the aniline point of kerosene?
The aniline point of kerosene is 60-69 oC.
Which burns slower kerosene or gasoline?
Kerosene burns slower than gasoline because it has a higher flash point and is less volatile. This means that kerosene requires more time and heat to ignite and burn compared to gasoline.
What if ice cubes are put in kerosene?
If ice cubes are put in kerosene, the ice will melt due to the higher temperature of the kerosene. Kerosene has a lower freezing point than water, so it will not freeze the water in the ice cubes. The ice will eventually melt and mix with the kerosene, but they will not chemically react with each other.
What is the correct increasing order of evaporation of petrol alcohol kerosene water?
The correct increasing order of evaporation is: water, alcohol, kerosene, petrol. Water evaporates the fastest due to its low boiling point, followed by alcohol, kerosene, and then petrol, which has the highest boiling point.
Can kerosene be used instead of water in volume displacement?
Yes, kerosene can be used instead of water in volume displacement experiments to accurately measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object. Kerosene has a known density, so by measuring the volume displaced by the object in kerosene, you can calculate its volume based on density. Just be careful with handling kerosene, as it is flammable and poses health risks.
What is the aniline point of kerosene?
The aniline point of kerosene is 60-69 oC.
Can kerosene be used in place of diesel in a boiler What are the technical points that have to be looked into Any technical changes required?
Kerosene is generally similar in nature but slightly more volatile than diesel. The flash point of kerosene is generally lower by about 30°F. Kerosene also has a true vapor pressure specification (TVP= vapor pressure at 100°F) while diesel has none. Kerosene also has a smoke point specification while diesel has none. Smoke point is height of a flame in millimeters that burns without causing smoking. Finally kerosene has a freeze point whereas diesel has a pour point and cloud point; however, the freeze point of kerosene is generally much less than either of the latter in diesel. Given all of the above I think you will generally be okay burning kerosene in a diesel fuel boiler. Kerosene will actually work better than diesel if you happen to be starting up in a very cold environment. The optimum flame height may slightly different. This could be adjusted by altering the flow rate of fuel, but of course generally the flow rate is dependent on some other need. As mentioned above kerosene is more volatile than diesel so be careful when handling/storing the fuel. If this is to be done on a permanent basis consider moving the fuel storage tank further away from any structures, etc.
Freezing point of kerosene water mixture?
oint of kerosene is -22F
What is the boiling point for kerosene in Fahrenheit?
The boiling point of kerosene is typically around 302-572 degrees Fahrenheit.
Is billowy black smoke a characteristic of fire generated by kerosene?
Yes, billowy black smoke is a characteristic of fire generated by kerosene. Kerosene tends to burn with a dark, smoky flame due to its incomplete combustion at lower temperatures. It is important to ensure proper ventilation and use in well-ventilated areas to minimize the amount of smoke produced.
Why kerosene used as fuel in jet planes?
It has a higher flashes point so it burns rathe than exploses
Does kerosene have a high melting point?
yes.
What 'K' is a fuel used by planes?
kerosene (naptha kerosene)
What are the boiling points of petrol and kerosene?
The boiling point of petrol is typically around 35-200°C, while the boiling point of kerosene is around 150-275°C. These ranges can vary slightly depending on the specific composition of the fuel.
What is the melting point for kerosene?
-20 degrees centigrade.
Is the kerosene used in Aeroplane?
Aviation jet fuel is basically kerosene
Is naphtha and kerosene the same?
Kerosene is a derivative of the petroleum distillation, between 150 0C and 250 0C. Naphtha is also a derivative of the petroleum distillation, between 50 0C and 200 0C. But the chemical composition of naphtha and kerosene are not totally identical.
