What is the difference between the burning temperature of diesel and petrol?
The burning temperature of diesel is higher than that of petrol. Diesel ignites at a higher temperature compared to petrol.
Why diesel cheaper than petrol?
In the United States diesel is not cheaper than petrol or gasoline, it is higher.
What is the density of diesel?
The density of petroleum diesel is about 0.85 kg/l whereas petrol (gasoline) has a density of about 0.72 kg/l, about 15% less
What is thicker fuel oil or petrol?
Fuel oil is thicker than petrol because it has a higher viscosity and density. Fuel oil is used in heating systems and diesel engines, while petrol is used as a fuel for gasoline engines in cars.
Is petrol density higher than water density?
No, the density of petrol is lower than the density of water. Water has a density of 1 g/cm³, while the density of petrol is around 0.75-0.85 g/cm³.
Why does diesel freeze quicker than petrol?
Diesel fuel and petrol/gasoline are similar; both of them are mainly mixtures of hydrocarbons. However, Diesel is considerably less volatile because it the compounds in it are of higher molecular weight; they have a higher boiling point ... and also a higher freezing point.
Does petrol boil at a higher temperature than diesel?
No. I'm not sure of the exact numbers. Petrol will boil off of your hand, while Diesel will not. Try it if you get the chance.
Which is more viscous diesel or petrol?
Diesel has a much higher viscosity than petrol (gasoline). It is less refined and contains more oil to lubricate and cool the combustion chamber in a diesel engine.
Why is petrol rate costlier than diesel?
Diesel and petrol engines work differently. Diesel engines use compression to ignite the air/fuel mixture, and have a much higher compression ratio than petrol engines, which use spark ignition. The conditions for ignition are not met when petrol is put into a diesel engine, and will stall.
What is the adventages and disadvantages of petrol engion?
first of all its engine. ADVANTAGES - petrol is cheaper than diesel so cheaper to run. petrol cars generally cost less than diesel (a few 1000). petrol engines are usually faster than diesel off the line and have a higher top speed than a diesel car with the same sized engine. DISADVANTAGES - petrol is less economical than diesel and also diesel cars are much better for over taking than petrol as it has more torque (pulling power)
Why otto cycle used for petrol engine and diesel cycle for diesel engine?
A standard 20 to 1 otto cycle is used for the petrol and diesel cycles for diesel engines. It is higher than gasoline engines due to the way diesels burn and compress fuel.
Is petrol is used in diesel cars?
No, diesel engine require diesel fuel. Put petrol in a diesel engine and you will destroy it.
