Benefits of Bio-diesel fuel?
It can be blended with regular diesel fuel in any ratio. It has about the same amount of energy as petroleum diesel fuel. Its use reduces the amount of required oil changes. the only down fall is its not available at most major truck stops.
Can you mix diesel and Biodiesel in the same tank?
Yes. However, there are some cautions that should be followed.If you are mixing pure biodiesel (B100) with traditional petroleum diesel then you should be aware of any limits placed on the final mix ratio by the engine or heating plant being used. For instance, many engine manufacturers recommend the final mix be no more than B20. Some others certify their engines for only as much as B05; others up to B30.Know your limits! The primary reason for these limits is that the "bio" portion of biodiesel can break down rubber seals over time. You may be able to get around these limitations many times by replacing the rubber seals for synthetic. For instance, the SunTech fuel pumps used in many furnaces have synthetic replacement seals readily available. Be aware that biodiesel has a cleansing effect on most tanks. It dissolves the sludge buildup found in the bottom of some older tanks. This sudden release of sludge from the tank can clog fuel filters. Therefore, it is best to introduce biodiesel slowly to an older tank. If your goal is to reach a B20 mix then start with a B05 and slowly build up to a B20 over several fills of the tank. Be aware that the temperature of the two fuels being mixed is important! It is not advisable to add small amounts of B100 that are at 55 degrees (F) with large amonts of cold petroleum diesel that has been stored outside in winter at 10 degrees (F). This will cause the B100 to congeal almost instantly. If the temperatures of the two fuels are relatively warm 50 degrees (F) and higher they will mix quite well in whatever ratio can be tolerated by your engine or heating plant.
Why is petroleum used?
Petroleum is used for lubricants and also for plastics, But primarily its distilled fractions (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, bunker oil) are used as combustion fuels. The hydrocarbon molecules of petroleum fuels provide a high impulse-to-weight ratio, and are easy to transport and store compared to other types of energy.
What is the fuel to power ratio in diesel engines?
In diesel engine fuel to power ratio is 1:50
Can bio diesel be blended with regular diesel in any ratio?
Yes
What is the required Air fuel ratio for a diesel engine?
There is no required a/f ratio on a diesel. It can be as low as 100:1 at no load idle.
Heating ratio of diesel to gasoline?
2
What is the compression ratio of a diesel engine?
The compression ratio of a Diesel ranges from 14:1 to as high as 25:1. I agree just depends on engine.
How to turn a mixed number to a ratio?
To turn a mixed number into a ratio, you must divide each number into a common denominator.
Why you use cut-off ratio in diesel cycle not in Otto cycle?
We use cut-off ratio in diesel cycle and not in Otto cycle because it is cost effective.
Why compression ratio of petrol enine is 8 where as diesel engine is 22?
because a diesel engine ignites its fuel with pressure, and not with a spark like a petrol engine. that is why a petrol engine does not need as high a compression ratio as a diesel engine
What is the ratio of sulfur when mixed in water?
The ratio of the constituents of a mixture cannot be determined.
