Diesel is a mixture of carbon chains that typically contain between 8 and 21 carbon atoms and may be produced by fractional distillation of crude oil between 200 °C (392 °F) and 350 °C (662 °F)
Kerosene is composed of carbon chains that typically contain between 6 and 16 carbon atoms and may be produced by fractional distillation of crude oil between 150 °C and 275 °C,
By comparison you can see that kerosene is a mixture of organic molecules that tend to be smaller (and consequently more volatile) than diesel oil.
The uses of the two fuels is pretty much based on the impact of those properties. Kerosene is less viscous at low temperatures than diesel and is more volatile.
What else can I help you with?
What are the fractions that are separated from the crude oil?
The number of carbon atoms determine the products available in crude oil. Name Number of Carbon Atoms Refinery Gas 3 or 4 Petrol 7 to 9 Naphtha 6 to 11 Kerosene 11 to 18 Diesel Oil 11 to 18 Lubricating Oil 18 to 25 Fuel Oil 20 to 27 Greases and Wax 25 to 30 Bitumen above 35
How do you separate kerosene and crude oil?
Kerosene can be separated from crude oil through a process called fractional distillation. In this process, crude oil is heated to separate its components based on their boiling points. Kerosene, with a boiling point between 150-275°C, can be collected as a separate fraction during the distillation process.
Do things float on kerosene more than oil?
No, things do not float more on kerosene than oil because both kerosene and oil have similar densities. In general, objects will float on a liquid if their density is lower than that of the liquid.
How much kerosene can you add to oil tank?
It is not recommended to add kerosene to an oil tank without consulting a professional. The amount of kerosene that can be added will depend on various factors such as the type of heating system, the current oil in the tank, and the climate. Adding kerosene incorrectly can affect the efficiency and safety of the system.
What are substances that are extracted from crude oil without being changed?
Crude Oil is the mixture of difference substances, substances are seprated from crude oil through the process of Fractional Distillation. the substances extracted from crude oil are as follow : Fuel Gas (LPG) Petrol Naptha (used for plastics) Kerosene Diesel Fuel Oil (used to Fuel Ships) Lubricating Oil Bitumen (used for building roads)
What is the difference between diesel oil and conventional oil?
Deisel is made out of plants.
Can diesel oil replace heating oil?
the difference between heating oil and diesel is a red dye, you can use diesel just fine
What is the difference between a petrol oil filter and diesel oil filter?
Difference is capacity and the fuel type.
Is diesel is type of oil?
Diesel just like gasoline and kerosene are a refinement of crude oil. Diesel is known as 'diesel oil' or 'heavy oil' and is the heaviest distillate of crude oil. Petrol is a spirit and is the lightest distillate.
Can you burn diesel in a kerosene heater?
Diesel and Kerosene are extremely similar.In fact Kerosene is often called #1 Fuel Oil and Diesel is called #2 Fuel Oil.Diesel should burn fine in a kerosene heater, unless you are trying to light it in very cold weather.
Is diesel example of fuel?
Yes. Diesel is a fuel oil, similar to kerosene and jet fuel both.
What is the difference between fuel oil in ships and kerosene in jet engines?
fuel oil is used by faggets who are member of the dick circle where as kerosene is used by people with dicks coming out their ears
What are petrol Naphtha Kerosene Diesel and Oil?
They all come from crude oil/ fossil fuels
What is the difference between a Normal diesel and Performance diesel?
The difference between the two is quit small. Normal diesel contains less oil than performance diesel. However, when they are tested side by side, no one can tell the difference of the two.
What can car run on?
Gasoline, Diesel, Kerosene, Vegetable oil, Steam, & Electricity.
What is the density of diesel oil?
The current Euro-V diesel product specification used by much of the world requires diesel to be between 0.820 kg/l and 0.845 kg/l at 15.6°C. This variation has to do with the amount of kerosene (jet-fuel) blended into diesel. In the winter more kerosene will be blended into diesel to ensure no cold properties (such as cold filter plug point (CFPP) and/or cloud point) are exceeded. In the summer less kerosene is blended into diesel because kerosene almost always sells for a higher price than diesel.
Where those the aircraft fuel come from?
All from oil products, - gasoline, kerosene and diesel.
