Do petrol have more calorific value than diesel?
Diesel has a calorific value about 5% higher than regular gas, but about the same as higher octane products. Therefore it should give slightly better mileage. and should cost about 12 cents a gallon more. As diesel was regarded for decades as a sort of by-product of the distillation process, it was able to be sold cheaper until recently when the price is nearer its true value. Diesel gets more m.p.g because of its higher calorific value, but, in order to get it to burn, it has to have a higher compression engines which are more sturdily built and permanently more expensive. If one built petrol engines with compression ratios of 11:1, they too would be more efficient in producing power (as are racing and airplane engines) but they pollute more and would also be more expensive. If you try to convert a gas engine to use diesel you will get an engine that breaks prematurely.
Why petrol have more calorific value?
Petrol has a higher calorific value primarily due to its hydrocarbon composition, which consists of long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms that release a significant amount of energy when combusted. The energy density of petrol is also enhanced by its ability to vaporize easily, allowing for more efficient combustion in engines. Additionally, the structure of petrol allows for a greater number of carbon-hydrogen bonds, which release energy when broken during the combustion process, contributing to its higher calorific value compared to other fuels.
What has the government done to encourage people to switch from petrol to LPG?
since, petrol releases more smoke than LPG,LPG has high calorific value and burns without smoke
