Diesel fuel and petrol/gasoline are similar; both of them are mainly mixtures of hydrocarbons. However, Diesel is considerably less volatile because it the compounds in it are of higher molecular weight; they have a higher boiling point ... and also a higher freezing point.
Petrol is primarily composed of hydrocarbons with chain lengths varying between 4 to 12 carbon atoms, along with small amounts of additives. Diesel is composed of longer hydrocarbon chains, typically ranging from 12 to 24 carbon atoms, with higher boiling points compared to petrol. Both fuels may also contain small amounts of sulfur compounds and other additives for performance and emission control.
This depends on whether you mean evaporates due to heat or its volatility. if you mean due to heat, then obviously water, as the forces holding the molecules together are much stronger in hydrocarbons compared to standard water molecules.
Yes, diesel fuel is heavier than water. Water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter, while diesel fuel has a density of about 0.85-0.90 grams per cubic centimeter. This means that diesel fuel will sink in water.
Kerosene is lighter than diesel. Diesel has a higher density and is thus heavier than kerosene.
Pepper water does not freeze faster than tap water. The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius, regardless of whether it contains pepper or not. The presence of pepper may affect the appearance of the ice crystals that form as the water freezes, but it does not impact the rate of freezing.
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!
petrol vehicles pick up and response to gear changes quicker
In the United States diesel is not cheaper than petrol or gasoline, it is higher.
No, diesel is heavier.
The burning temperature of diesel is higher than that of petrol. Diesel ignites at a higher temperature compared to petrol.
because petrol is easer to burn than diesel
The difference is that diesel is more oily than petrol, and is cheaper to produce.
Depends on the car, if a car has petrol and diesel version than yes
first of all its engine. ADVANTAGES - petrol is cheaper than diesel so cheaper to run. petrol cars generally cost less than diesel (a few 1000). petrol engines are usually faster than diesel off the line and have a higher top speed than a diesel car with the same sized engine. DISADVANTAGES - petrol is less economical than diesel and also diesel cars are much better for over taking than petrol as it has more torque (pulling power)
diesel is usually more expensive but diesel cars usually have more mpg than petrol cars
Produce more petrol than diesel. :P
Diesel engines are more efficient and do use less fuel, but they do not cost less than a petrol engine, they cost more. Diesel fuel also costs more. A diesel engine will however last longer.
