What is the aniline point of kerosene?
The aniline point of kerosene is 60-69 oC.
What is the flashpoint of kerosene?
Kerosene is considered to be highly contestable. Kerosene has a flash point between one hundred and one hundred and sixty-two degrees Fahrenheit.
Is kerosene and water a substance or a mixture?
It is a mixture of hydrocarbons. Kerosene is a hydrocarbon extracted from petroleum through fractional distillation. It is a mixture of hydrocarbons with different number of carbon atoms(10-14). The boiling point RANGE of kerosene is 170-250 degrees Celsius.
What is kerosene and for what could be used?
Kerosene is a fraction of petroleum that is less volatile than gasoline. Kerosene was first used in lamps as a replacement for whale oil. Its main use now is as jet aircraft fuel (usually JP-1 but there are higher grades), it is also used as fuel in some rocket motors (usually RP-1 but there are higher grades), also kerosene heaters, etc.
Can a seperatory funnel be used to separate water from kerosene?
You could do that. Or you could just suck the kerosene off the surface of the water with a hand funnel.
What is the aniline point of kerosene?
The aniline point of kerosene is 60-69 oC.
Can kerosene be used in place of diesel in a boiler What are the technical points that have to be looked into Any technical changes required?
Kerosene is generally similar in nature but slightly more volatile than diesel. The flash point of kerosene is generally lower by about 30°F. Kerosene also has a true vapor pressure specification (TVP= vapor pressure at 100°F) while diesel has none. Kerosene also has a smoke point specification while diesel has none. Smoke point is height of a flame in millimeters that burns without causing smoking. Finally kerosene has a freeze point whereas diesel has a pour point and cloud point; however, the freeze point of kerosene is generally much less than either of the latter in diesel. Given all of the above I think you will generally be okay burning kerosene in a diesel fuel boiler. Kerosene will actually work better than diesel if you happen to be starting up in a very cold environment. The optimum flame height may slightly different. This could be adjusted by altering the flow rate of fuel, but of course generally the flow rate is dependent on some other need. As mentioned above kerosene is more volatile than diesel so be careful when handling/storing the fuel. If this is to be done on a permanent basis consider moving the fuel storage tank further away from any structures, etc.
Freezing point of kerosene water mixture?
oint of kerosene is -22F
Is billowy black smoke a characteristic of fire generated by kerosene?
No, black smoke can result from any burning liquid or gaseous hydrocarbon, coal, fat, petrochemical, plastic or similar. The black smoke indicates that the fire does not consume all the carbon present and it is released as soot or carbon cenospheres
What are the boiling points of petrol and kerosene?
-22f or -30c is the freezing point of kerosen
Why kerosene used as fuel in jet planes?
It has a higher flashes point so it burns rathe than exploses
Does kerosene have a high melting point?
yes.
What 'K' is a fuel used by planes?
kerosene (naptha kerosene)
What is the melting point for kerosene?
-20 degrees centigrade.
Is the kerosene used in Aeroplane?
Aviation jet fuel is basically kerosene
What is the flashpoint of kerosene?
Kerosene is considered to be highly contestable. Kerosene has a flash point between one hundred and one hundred and sixty-two degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the smoke point of an oil?
Smoke point is the maximum flame height, expressed in millimeters, at which a fuel can be burned in a standard wick-fed lamp without smoking. A higher smoke point indicates a fuel with a lower tendency to produce smoke.Aromatics tend to burn with a smoky flame. The order of molecule type from highest smoke point (least smoky) to lowest smoke point (most smoky) is as follows: Straight chain parrafins, branched parrafins, naphthenes, and finally aromatics.Smoke point is an important specification for Jet Fuel (jet fuel is the kerosene fraction of a crude oil distillation).Source: Properties of Crude Oils.
