The flow of petrol
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Electric charge can build up in a petrol tanker due to friction between the flowing liquid and the tanker walls, creating a separation of charges. This can be exacerbated by the movement of the liquid, leading to a transfer of electrons and the accumulation of charge on the tanker surface. Factors like temperature, humidity, and the type of materials involved can also impact the buildup of electric charge.

Why Vehicles carrying inflammable material like petrol are covered with bad conductors of heat?
Usually, a petrol tanker would not need to be insulated from the ambient temperature.But there are substances such as LPG that have a quite low boiling point, and these could be insulated.And again, tankers carrying liquids with a very low boiling point, such as liquid oxygen or liquid nitrogen will almost always be well insulated.
How much does a super tanker weights?
A super tanker typically weighs around 200,000 to 320,000 metric tons when fully loaded with cargo.
Why does oil tankers float?
Oil tankers float because of their buoyancy, which is the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object immersed in it. The shape and design of the tanker, along with the volume of water displaced by the vessel, help to keep it afloat. Additionally, the material used in the construction of the tanker is designed to be less dense than water, further contributing to its ability to float.
Do you need a cdl to transport 300 gallons of diesel?
Yes. You'll need the CDL of a class appropriate to the vehicle being operated, a tanker endorsement, and a hazmat endorsement. 300 gallons puts you well past the 1000 lb. threshold for not needing one.
An ocean-going oil tanker that has a mass of 6.4x10 raised to 7 kg and that travels with a speed of 15 knots takes 5.0 km to come to a stop What is the magnitude of the constant force required to do?
The acceleration to bring the tanker to a stop is found using the equation (V_f^2 = V_i^2 + 2a\Delta x), where (V_f = 0) m/s, (V_i = 15 \times 1852/3600) m/s (converting knots to m/s), and (\Delta x = 5000) m. Solving for a gives an acceleration of -0.065 m/s^2. The force required is then calculated using (F = ma), where (m = 6.4 \times 10^7) kg. Therefore, the magnitude of the constant force required is (4.16 \times 10^6) N.
Why is a petrol tanker sometimes connected to the ground by means of a wire before petrol in unloaded?
Because even if there's a slight static charge in the tanker, it could ignite the petrol and explode. If it's connected to the ground by a wire, then all the static charge in the truck is removed (ie grounding the truck).
How do you use tanker in sentence?
A tanker is used to transport the Petrol from storage tanks to the petrol station.
What is a petrol container?
Tank, Tanker or a Canister.
Why is a petrol tanker sometimes connected to the ground by means of a wire before petrol is uploaded?
Most likely, this is to discharge any static electricity that the tanker may have accrued during its journey. Such static can be dangerous because it may cause the petrol to ignite; therefore, the wire 'grounds' the tanker (i.e. it allows the electricity to pass harmlessly into the ground) and removes this threat.
What is a boat that carries oil or petrol called?
It is a ship known generally as a tanker.
What do you call a boat that carries oil or petrol which starts with letter T?
I am not sure, I wrote tanker.
During the delivery of gasoline from a tanker to a local gasoline station the driver is disabled and taken to a medical facility Who has the responsibility for security on the tanker?
The oil company who provided the gas/petrol. However, the police would probably guard the tanker until another driver arrived.
Can one convert a petrol road tanker to a LPG road tanker?
Sure, just change the tank and all the plumbing. If you were trying to re-purpose the tank, no, the tank has to survive a 300 psi pressure test
Why is the body of an oil tanker connected with a metal wire at the ground?
As fuel is pumped from the tanker car to a reservoir, charge can quickly build up as the fluid flows through the hoses. This static charge can create sparks capable of igniting the fuel. By connecting the body of the tanker car to the ground, the static charge can be transferred to the ground. A metal wire is used since metals are conductive and allow charge to flow through them.
What are road tankers?
Road tankers are large lorries that carry large tanks that can hold bulk liquids or powder. A milk tanker will carry milk. And an oil tanker will carry petroleum products - petrol, diesel, oil, etc.
What causes an oil spill?
where an oil tanker collides with another ship at sea... i think
How oil tanker measures?
I assume you meant measuring the level in an oil tanker making a delivery to a petrol station? The driver uses long metal rods that are dipped through opened caps on the top of the tanker to check the level inside. Note: I assume the metal rods are non-ferous and won't cause a spark, but I'm not sure!
