No, water does not burn. Blending it would reduce the effectiveness of the fuel oil as a fuel.

Where you can find the viscosity temperature chart for fuel oil no6?

Please see the link in the related links section. Please note that actual viscosity of No. 6 fuel oil depends on the actual blend of products and the product specifications of the fuel oil. Fuel oils are usually classified by viscosity and sulfur. In particular more stringent sulfur specifications require more light products (light cycle oil (LCO) or unconverted oil (UCO)) to be blended into No. 6 fuel oil. This results in a less viscous fuel oil. There is no universal standard specification for No. 6 fuel oil.


How much fuel does a cargo ship use?

Many ships use MDO or Marine Diesel Oil, sometimes also known as #2 Diesel. Ships can also use HFO or Heavy Fuel Oil or Bunker C. These are crude oil derivatives that are largely unrefined. They are very thick and need to be heated by steam in order to reduce its viscosity to allow them to flow.


Lube oil consumption of diesel engine?

Lube oil consumption depends on engine design and motor operating conditions. Dieselnet is a good source. Typical oil consumption values for pre-1980s engines were 0.46 g/kWh (0.34 g/bhp-hr; 0.25% of fuel consumption), pre-1990 engines ranged between 0.33-0.48 g/kWh (~0.15 - 0.20% of fuel consumption). A test on a number of 2002 heavy-duty and medium-duty engines in the US yielded an average of 0.22 g/kWh (0.1% of fuel consumption). Year 2007 heavy- and medium-duty engines consume on average 0.08 g/kWh (around 0.03% of fuel consumption)


How much jet fuel can be refined from 1000000 barrels of crude oil?

The amount of jet fuel that can be refined from crude oil varies depending on the specific refining process and the characteristics of the crude oil. On average, about 10-15% of crude oil can be converted into jet fuel. Therefore, from 1,000,000 barrels of crude oil, approximately 100,000 to 150,000 barrels of jet fuel could typically be produced.

What is the difference between fuel oil and lube oil?

Fuel oil is a blend of heavy intermediate products in a refinery to make a heavy fuel oil. Lube oil is processed from intermediate products to make an oil used for the lubrication of mechanical parts such as car engines, turbines, etc.


What is more viscous kerosene or heavy fuel oil?

Heavy fuel oil is typically more viscous than kerosene. Heavy fuel oil is thicker and more dense, making it harder to flow compared to kerosene.

What is the specific gravity heavy fuel?

The specific gravity of heavy fuel oil can vary, but it typically ranges from 0.95 to 1.03. It is important to consult specific fuel oil specifications or test data to determine the precise specific gravity of a particular heavy fuel oil sample.


What is the density of heavy fuel oil bunker?

In a technical sense, any fuel used by ships is bunker fuel. As regards heavy fuel oil, it's either No. 5 or No. 6 fuel oil, and is most commonly No. 6 or "bunker fuel" or "navy special fuel oil" or something similar.No. 6 heavy fuel oil has a specific gravity of about 0.94 to 0.95 at room temperature (68 degrees F), and that translates to a weight density of about 59.3 to 59.9 pounds per cubic foot. Water weighs 62.44 pounds per cubic foot, by comparison at 68 degrees F.


How many gallons of heavy fuel oil are in a metric ton?

That depends how heavy the heavy fuel is. A gallon is a unit of capacity. A metric ton is a unit of mass. The two units are therefore incompatible.


What is ignition point of heavy fuel oil?

The ignition point of heavy fuel oil typically ranges from 365°C to 400°C. This is the temperature at which the oil will start to combust in the presence of an ignition source.
