By flash, it is assumed you mean the amount flashed in the flash zone after entering a column. If the amount flashed is more than you desire, lower the feed temperature. If the feed is some amount of saturated liquid and vapor, you will want to increase the percentage of liquid fed to the column. This applies to a general distillation column with more flash than desired.

If this is a crude oil atmospheric distillation column, and you are getting too much kerosene in a side draw, your cut point probably does not meet the required specification. In this case you will need to adjust your pumparound rates and/or increase the amount of reflux.

Which burns slower kerosene or gasoline?

Kerosene burns slower than gasoline because it has a higher flash point and is less volatile. This means that kerosene requires more time and heat to ignite and burn compared to gasoline.


Which is more flamable petrol vs kerosene?

Petrol is more flammable than kerosene because petrol has a lower flash point and autoignition temperature. This means petrol is more likely to ignite at lower temperatures compared to kerosene.


What is the flash point and autoignition temp of kerosene?

The flash point of kerosenes is between 35 0C and 65 0C. The autoignition point of kerosenes is 220 0C.


Does kerosene burn easily?

Yes. It has a low flash point, and a low ignition point.


What is the flashpoint of kerosene?

The flashpoint of kerosene is typically around 38-74°C (100-165°F), depending on the specific grade and composition of the kerosene. This is the temperature at which it can produce enough vapors to ignite in the presence of an ignition source. It is important to handle and store kerosene carefully to prevent fire hazards.


What is the flash point and fire point of diesl and kerosene?

The flash point of diesel is typically around 52-96°C (126-205°F), while kerosene has a flash point of around 37-65°C (100-150°F). The fire point for diesel is usually higher than its flash point, around 52-96°C (126-205°F), while for kerosene, it is around 46-74°C (115-165°F).


Where is the blinker flash unit on a 1998 Mitsubishi eclipse located?

in the steering column.


What is the purpose of an alumina column?

Column chromatography is generally used as a purification technique: it isolates desired compounds from a mixture.Column chromatography is separated into two categories, depending on how the solvent flows down the column. If the solvent is allowed to flow down the column by gravity, or percolation, it is called gravity column chromatography. If the solvent is forced down the column by positive air pressure, it is called flash chromatography, a "state of the art" method currently used in organic chemistry research laboratories The term "flash chromatography" was coined by Professor W. Clark Still because it can be done in a "flash."


Why is Kerosine safer than Gasoline?

Kerosene is considered safer than gasoline because it has a higher flash point, which means it is less likely to ignite at normal temperatures. Additionally, kerosene produces less flammable vapors compared to gasoline, reducing the risk of accidental fires or explosions.


What is the difference between flash chromatography and column chromatography?

Column chromatography, is a broad term for all column chromatography methods, but is also synonomous with Gravity fed methods. Flash chromotography refers specifically to a column in which the eluant (or mobile phase) is moved through the column under pressure (using a hand pump for small scale, or a pressurised gas for a larger scale), the name Flash is derived from how much faster it is to run a column under pressure than via gravity.


What would cause the headlights on a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer to go to high beam when you pull back on the lever to flash but not when you push it forward to stay on high?

there are two switchs in the steering column meaning pull back it hits a switch to flash and when you push it forward there is another to make them stay on. sounds like you need to replace the switch should be as simple as removing the steering column cover.


Can diesel or biodiesel be burned in a kerosene space heater?

ANSWER:Normal diesel fuel should not be burned in a kerosene heater, because there are many more contaminants in it, such as sulfur. A 100% solution of Biodiesel will not work because it requires a much higher initial temperature (300F) to burn cleanly. Blends of these fuels with kerosene can be burned, but there may be problems with the fuel soaking up the wick properly in the case of Biodiesel, which can lead to wick burning and sooting. There may also be problems lighting and burning properly if the blend contains too much of the Biodiesel, as its flash point is higher than kerosene. Diesel/Biodiesel fuel can also be run in many forced air heaters along with kerosene.
