What is the difference between an aircraft fuel and normal fuel?
Aircraft fuel discharge a huge amount of energy in combustion rather than ordinary fuel such as petrol and diesel.
What does combustion of alcohol mean?
It's when you burn something i.e. add oxygen to something. One of the products for complete combustion is carbon dioxide. For incomplete combustion which is when there isn't enough oxygen, then carbon monoxide is formed.
How do you get combustion?
Any combustion needs Fuel, Oxygen and heat. In a petrol engine, the fuel and air are mixed in either a carburettor, or a fuel injector system. The heat is supplied by the spark plug and maintained once the mixture is burning rapidly. The massive expansion of the burning gas, is used to push the piston. In a CI (compression ignition diesel) engine, The air is drawn in, diesel fuel is sprayed into it and the piston compresses it. This compression alone, causes heat, which is enough to cause combustion. The same expansion of the burning gas, is used to do work on the piston.
What is reactants and products of complete combustion?
reactants: an element and oxygen products: the oxide of the element
How hot diesel burn at?
US Grade Diesel: 210 C
Why do cars need petrol or diesel?
Petrol and diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The internal combustion that turns the engine and powers the wheels is created by the combustion of fuel. No fuel, no combustion, and nothing to drive the wheels.
What type of energy does diesel fuel produce?
combustion energy
What is the heat of combustion of diesel fuel?
Diesel heat of combustion : 45 MJ/kg , 10.7 Mcal/kg 19,300 BTU/lb
What are the bi-products of diesel fuel?
The bi-products of diesel fuel are water and glycerin. These are commonly removed from the fuel during the process of refinery.
When a fuel burns this gas is produced?
When a fuel burns, it undergoes a combustion reaction. Combustion has two main products. These products are water and carbon dioxide.
How is sulfuric acid introduced during combustion process of diesel fuel?
Diesel fuel contains compounds of sulfur that are oxidized during combustion to produce sulfur trioxide, which dissolves in water to form sulfuric acid.
What are the primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuel?
Carbon Dioxide and water are the primary combustion products of fossil fuels.
Is kerosene the same as diesel?
Kerosene is a type of Fuel. Diesel, named after the inventor, a type of internal combustion engine. true- No.2 Diesel Fuel is Kerosene- or JP-4 popularily used as an airplane fuel for jets.
What source of thermal energy does a car's engine use?
The combustion of gasoline or diesel fuel
What is the Chemical equation for the incomplete combustion of the diesel fuel?
C12h23+11.75o2=12co+11.5h20
What are the combustion products of the orange flame?
It depends on what fuel is burning.
The main difference between the internal combustion engine and the diesel engine is?
The diesel engine doesn't have any spark plugs, and uses heat generated during compression to ignite the fuel. The diesel however, is an internal combustion engine.
