What energy is used for a jet?
Jp5 fuel Jp5 fuel
What does diesel smell like?
JP5
What is the flash point of JP5?
Flash point of min. 60 °C (140 °F).
IAre Jet A and JP 5 fuel both used in civil airliner jet engines?
Yes. JP5 is primarily used in turbo fan engines, but they are blended for high performance and fuel economy.
How much does jp 5 fuel cost?
The price of jet fuel (JP5) varies from time to time and from place to place just like the prices of all other fuels. It is usually about twice or three times as much as the current cost of automotive gasoline.
How much does jp-5 fuel cost?
The price of jet fuel (JP5) varies from time to time and from place to place just like the prices of all other fuels. It is usually about twice or three times as much as the current cost of automotive gasoline.
What are jp4 and jp5 fuel?
JP4 is Jet Propulsion Fuel 4, made up of 35% light petroleum distillates and 65% gasoline. JP-5 or Jet Propulsion Fuel 5 is a military specification for purified kerosene jet fuel. There is no JP54
How many gallons in metric ton of JP5?
326.138336 US gallons Density of JP-5 is 0.81 Kg/L 1 mT of JP-5 1 mT = 1000 Kg 1000 Kg of JP-5 1000 Kg / 0.81 Kg/L = 1234.5679 L 1234.5679 L = 326.138336 US gallons
Can you use kerosene in a fuel oil furnace?
Yes and no. An unmodified oil burner will burn far more kerosene than fuel oil for which it is designed. If you replace the nozzle with a smaller nozzle and adjust the air, using an orsatz [orsat gas analyzer], a device for determining the combustion efficiency of the flame, you will be able to use kerosene. * interesting fact: Kerosene is also known as #1 fuel oil, or JP5 jet fuel. Mixing kerosene with #2 fuel oil, (home heating oil) in small amounts, should have no appreciable effect on the furnace efficiency.
Is Gumout octane booster worthwhile?
i have a 2001 GTp.. I alsw have a Ls1m scanner http://ls1m.com/ .. It scanns my car for everthing .. Most cases i scan for Kr.. with my car i sually get a 2.95 kr full boost 8 psi. but yest my car was on E so i decided to buy one octane booster at wlmart. and ad it to some 16 gallons of gas drove easy for 10 miles. then started to scan.. Now i see a .95 at full boost..Yes it works...AnswerI have used Gumout Octane Booster for about 6 months now. I drive an '89 Ford Ranger. Before the booster, it would knock and ping at the bottom of lower gears. It would stall whenever it felt like it. About 10 miles into the first tank of booster, I noticed a dramatic improvement. Hesitation is lower, no more stalling and idle is smooth. No more knocks and pings. It costs me under $2 per bottle. I use 1 for every tank of gas and I went from 17 to 24 MPG. That is not an exaggeration. I tally the MPG at EVERY fill-up. AnswerYes, they work to an extent. But, let it be known, if you are looking for a "magic bullet" to fix knocks and pings, I would look elsewhere. You could have a more serious problem somewhere within your engine causing the knock. If an Octane Booster "solves" your problem (knock/pinging) - then definitely take your car to a decent mechanic for further diagnosis. Also, consider, a growing number of vehicles on the road today actually "require" or "recommend" higher octane fuels. Check your vehicle's owner manual. It may be possible you've been using "Regular" unleaded, but you should actually be used "Mid Grade" or Supreme gasoline. So yea, if this is the case (your car requires Mid Grade gasoline, but you've been using only regular) - that could be the source of the knock and ping you experience.Gumout Octane Booster contains mostly JP5, which is used in the US Navy as fuel for aircraft, and really cleans fuel systems well. The improvement you felt was most likely a cleaner fuel system as well as cleaner injectors.
What is best high or low sulfur heating oil and why?
Lower amounts of sulfur in heating oil results in a cleaner, more efficient fuel with less emissions. Currently, the heating oil industry is working with various state environmental groups to try and cut the sulfur content of heating oil from 1,500 parts per million to 15 parts per million by 2018. In addition to sulfur reductions, the heating oil industry is moving toward zero emissions with new fuel blends called Bioheat which can contain anywhere between 2 and 20 percent renewable fuel. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This question isn't as easy to answer as just one is better for X reason, they both have advantages and disadvantages. For home heating, high and low sulfur #2 heating oil is a misnomer, as the amount of sulfur in the oil is negligible (from 0.15% maximum, to less than 0.001% [a 150% difference from each other but a 0.1499% difference overall]). Sulfur compounds are heavy fuel residuals and not typically found in light distillates, thus are not normally found in high quantity in kerosene (#1 fuel oil, or JP5). but more often found in much greater quantity in Residual fuel oils (bunker B & C, #4 and #6) which typically have contents between 0.5% and 3.5% sulfur compounds (much higher than distillate fuels). Efficiency (combustion efficiency) of different fuels is less a function of the fuel than the method of burning the fuel, just as the heat contents of fuels are determined differently. Distillate fuels have more heat per pound (19, 000 btu/lb for #2) than residual fuels (18,500 btu/lb.), but because they are much lighter have less heat per gallon (146,000 per gallon compared to 153,000 btu/gal for #6-2.2). Biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel have zero or effectively zero sulfur compounds in them, thus by mixing them with mineral oils (petroleum) can reduce the sulfur content of a given volume or weight of oil, without changing the original content of the original volume. {0.85 gallons of #2 oil can have 68 grains of sulfur compounds (1500ppm), while 1 gallon of 85/15 off-road biodiesel made with that same oil will have the same 68 grains of sulfur compounds. Even though a gallon of the original fuel has 80 grains of sulfur compounds} For environmental concerns low sulfur fuels are more advantageous, as less pollutants are admitted to the atmosphere. For economic concerns in industrial settings though, because of the cost of desulfuring fuel oils, it is much less costly to purchase and burn high sulfur fuels, and to remove the sulfur compounds from the exhaust gasses after combustion, where catalyzers or, dry and wet scrubbers can more cheaply and more efficiently remove more than 99% of the sulfur content from the flue gasses. High sulfur fuels typically cost between 15 and 30% of the low sulfur fuels used in industry. Desulfuring fuel oils becomes more expensive the more sulfur is removed from the oil, and at the present requirement for on road use diesel fuel desulfuring costs nearly 1/4 of the overall cost of the fuel and future requirements will increase that cost by as much as if not more than 50%, though fuel blending as described above (even with higher cost biofuels) can decrease that overall cost if the present blending regulations are relaxed to allow a higher percentage of non-petroleum components. Countries like Brazil, which because of economic reasons, uses more renewable fuels, are ahead of most of the world in that respect (petroleum is more expensive than alcohol there), and have converted to an economically and environmentally sound fuel source.
