For every five-degree (Celsius) change in temperature, figure about a 0.5-percent change in density. Avgas (aviation gasoline) weighs about 6.02 pounds per US Gallon at 15 degrees C. That increases to 6.40 pounds per US gallon at -40 degrees C. Mogas (automotive gas) is, for the most part, the same. The density of gasoline (C8H18) is 0.694 g / cm^3 at 300 K and 0.622 g / cm^3 at 400 K. Density shouldn't change that much relative to the ground temperature (300 K =80 F). http://www.omega.com/techref/flowmetertutorial.html Reference: Engineering Thermodynamics, Volume 1, Spring 2002, Roger A.

∙ 14y agoThe volume of gasoline expands or contracts 1 percent with each 15-degree temperature change, The Los Angeles Times reported on a State of California-sponsored study that investigated the effect of temperature on retail gasoline. Density of Diesel increases decreases with increase in temperature.

What 3 factors affect the density of sea water?
Temperature, pressure, and common ion effect
Why is it necessary to state the temperature with a density value?
It is necessary to indicate the temperature when giving the density of liquids because temperature effects the density of many liquids. For example, water increases in density as it becomes colder.
How does volume affect temperature?
Normally there is no affect. In a gas, a CHANGE of volume of a single body, will give a change in temperature. If a gas is compressed the temperature will increase. If a gas is allowed to expand, there will be a reduction in temperature. This principle is used in diesel engines, to ignite the fuel by compression and fridges, where an expansion of gas causes cooling.
Does temperature affect mass?
No. Mass is not affected by temperature, nor is temperature affected by mass. Mass is mass, and is a function of the number of atoms of something. Temperature is the relative kinetic energy of those atoms. While temperature can certainly affect density or volume, it does not affect mass.
What are some examples of medium breakfast?
temperature,medium and density
Why does a temperature affect density?
i
How do changes in temperature of air affect its density?
if it is high the density is high so if the temperature is low the density is low.
How does density affect currents?
Salinity and temperature
What factors-affect density currents?
Salinity and temperature
What two things affects the density of the water?
The temperature and the salinity affect water's density.
What 2 things affect the density of water?
the temperature and the salinity
What factors affect the density of sea?
Temperature, salinity, and pressure.
What affect the volume of solids?
Volume is the ratio between mass and density; density depends on temperature.
How does temperature affect water?
The temperature and salinity of seawater determine its density. Water gets denser as it gets saltier and reaches a maximum density at 4 °C. Salinity does affect the boiling point and freezing point of water, but not its temperature.
Does the temperature of the Dead Sea affect it's saltiness?
no, but it does effect the density
What two thing affect the density of ocean water?
Temperature & salinity.
How does the number of particles affect the pressure of a gas?
Increased density and temperature.
