Because LPG is a mixture, the value of the latent heat will depend on the exact composition of the mixture. The main components of LPG are:
- propane - C3H8
- propylene (propene) - C3H6
- isobutane - C4H10
- n-butane - C4H10
- butylene (butene) - C4H8
Since LPG is usually mostly propane and butane, a rough estimate would be in the range of the values for these two components. Note that latent heat is dependent on temperature as well. for the purposes of this answer we will use 30 °F (near the boiling point of butane at atmospheric pressure)
Hvap(propane @ 30 °F) = 163 BTU/lb
Hvap(butane @ 30 °F) = 166 BTU/lb

What is the symbol for Dorian LPG Ltd in the NYSE?
The symbol for Dorian LPG Ltd. in the NYSE is: LPG.
What pressure of lpg required for lpg burner?
2.75kpa, LPG burns 102MJ/h per m3
Why add mercaptans in lpg?
Mercapta is added to LPG to make sure wheather it is leaking or not.
Is LPG fuel renewable?
No, LPG fuel is not renewable. This is because LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) is recovered from the natural gas in oil wells, and since oil is not renewable neither is LPG.
What is the energy value for lpg?
The heating value of the LPG is about 46 MJ/kg.
Specific heat and latent heat of LPG?
specific heat of lpg
Can latent heat be zero?
No, latent heat can never be zero.Because latent heat is the hidden heat so there has to be heat more than zero.
Heat that causes a substance to change form is called?
latent heat :)
Why is latent heat important to the atmosphere?
Latent heat is an important form of atmospheric energy. Latent heat is a property of water vapor in the atmosphere and when water vapor condenses it releases latent heat. Latent heat must be supplied to evaporate liquid water and this heat affects the behavior of the weather.
Why is latent heat of vapourisation higher than latent heat of fusion?
latent heat of vapourisation is the heat energy required to change 1 kg of a liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point where latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy required to change 1 kg of solid to liquid at its melting point so that is why latent heat of vapourisation higher than latent heat of fusion.
What is the heat that is released when water condenses and changes to liquid form?
The latent heat of vaporisation.
What is laten heat?
what is latent heat
What do you call heat that is added or removed from a substance but does not change the state of the substance sensible heat latent heat super heat or radiation heat?
Latent Heat.
What is latent heat evaporation?
Latent heat of evaporation of water to steam is 2270 KJ/Kg
What is the heat stored in the atmosphere as a result of evaporation?
Latent
What are the applications of latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vapourisation?
the application of latent heat fo fussion is ice is used to put in drinks to make cool because ice has hih specific heat capcity
What is the electrical method to determine the specific latent heat of vaporisation?
coclude the specific latent heat of vaporization
