Why petrol does not catch fire on its own temperature?
Because petrol's ignition temperature is higher than the room temperature...
What is the Ignition temperature of petrol?
246 degree Celsius............
What is ignition temperature of petrol?
246 degree Celsius............
Which has a highest starting ignition between petrol n diesel?
Diesel has highest ignition temperature.. So only diesel cant be used in petrol engine
Why is petrol a better fuel then wax?
the fuel produces has higher ignition temperature and produces more heat
What is the ignition point of petrol?
It has a flash point of about -50° F (-65° C)(lowest temp ignitable). The ignition temperature is about 495° or autoignition which it can go off without external spark source.
Why can't petrol be compressed and ignited as in the case of diesel engines?
petrol self ignition temperature is high and requires a spark plug instead to ignite.where as diesel ignites automatically under pressure because of low self ignition temperature without any spark plug....hence petrol cannot be used inplace of dieselWarning: The above answer is absolutely incorrect. Petrol's flash point is significantly below, not above, diesel. The heat needed for ignition in a diesel engine comes from a compression ratio of over 20:1. Petrol engines have compression ratios of less than 10:1. Even at this lower compression ratio, petrol will still sometimes flash over or "detonate," causing the engine to "knock." This kind of nonsense is why I stopped posting here.
What is the difference between a diesel engine and a petrol engine ignition of mixture?
petrol engine - Fuel and air mixtures together and compressed in engine. These mixtures ignited by Spark plug Diesel Engine - Air only compressed at high pressure and Temperature. Fuel injected at high temp so that the ignition takes place
Which other element must be present for petrol to burn?
As well as petrol you need oxygen and an ignition source
What is the difference between ignition temperature and spontaneous ignition temperature in a fuel cell?
The minimum temperature the fuel ignites self sustained combustion is known as spontaneous ignition temperature. The temperature at which the substance is preheated and burns smoothly is known as ignition temperature.
Why petrol not used as fuel in stoves?
Petrol is not used in stoves because it vaporises and easily catch fire and it's ignition temparature is very low.that's why petrol is not used in stove.
Is petrol at room temperature and under atmospheric pressure a gas a liquid or solid fuel?
Petrol, or gasoline, at standard temperature and pressure is a liquid.
