Do not confuse autoignition with sustained flame temperature, which can vary widely due to a number of contributors. Flame temperature of openly-burned diesel at sea level in an environment of 70°F at 80% humidity can range from 900°C to 1200°C, due to factors such as completion of burn, particle size, etc. A good 'general answer' would be 1200°C, but the technically correct answer is a range, not a specific number.

What is the relationship between flash point and initial boiling point in diesel?
The flash point of diesel fuel is the lowest temperature at which its vapors can ignite in air, while the initial boiling point is the temperature at which the first portion of the liquid begins to evaporate. Generally, diesel has a flash point that is higher than its initial boiling point, indicating that it requires a higher temperature to ignite compared to the temperature at which it starts to vaporize. This relationship is crucial for safety and storage considerations, as it affects handling and potential fire hazards. In essence, the flash point helps define the flammability risk associated with the fuel under different temperature conditions.
What chemical can you mix with diesel for diesel engine?
apparently cooking oil with diesel
How is diesel energy produced?
Diesel is made by refining crude oil. It's a non-renewable, fossil fuel.
What is diesel distilled from?
Petroleum. I'm not sure if it's a distillation process. Diesel is refined from petroleum but I'm not sure how.
How do you increase the flash point in diesel oil?
A low flash point in diesel is caused by contamination of the diesel with lighter petroleum products such as kerosene or gasoline. Drawing more lighter products out of the fractionation tower could reduce contamination of the heavier products. Improving fractionation and improving diesel product stripping performance will raise the flash point.
At what temperature does diesel burn?
Diesel burns at 210 degrees
What temperature does bio diesel burn at?
It burns at 210 degrees Celsius.
Does diesel burn or explode?
Diesel burns when in an open container, it is not as volatile as gasoline. If you flick a match into diesel fuel, it will typically go out unless it is hot enough to vaporize due to the temperature. In a diesel engine, the fuel explodes when it gets to the right temperature, caused by pressure.
Why does diesel produce the most usable engery?
Diesel is burned at higher pressure, higher temperature, and at oxygen excess. Means it burns cleaner and more efficiently.
What burns hotter gas or diesel?
Diesel typically burns hotter than gasoline due to its higher energy density and combustion efficiency. This is why diesel engines are often more fuel-efficient than gasoline engines. However, the exact temperature at which they burn can also depend on factors like air-to-fuel ratio and engine design.
Does diesel expand when heated?
No it burns
What temperature does diesel freeze?
what temperature does diesel freeze at in Celsius
How do you tell petrol from diesel in a can?
Petrol is and bit more vicous and that diesel is a lot darker than petrol. Petrol burns quicker when set alight, however diesel burns more brightly!
What type of diesel burns longer?
diesel doesn't burn. it combusts under pressure
What is the difference between the burning temperature of diesel and petrol?
The burning temperature of diesel is higher than that of petrol. Diesel ignites at a higher temperature compared to petrol.
Can you burn diesel in a paraffin greenhouse heater?
No, it is not safe to burn diesel in a paraffin greenhouse heater. Diesel burns at a higher temperature compared to paraffin, which can cause damage to the heater and pose a fire hazard. It is important to use the correct fuel for your specific heater to ensure safe and efficient operation.
What are disadvantages of using diesel as fuel?
well the diesel get alittle bit more mpg but not much but the diesel burns cleaner the regular fuel
