Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG)

Liquified petroleum gas (LPG) is derived from fossil fuel sources. It is composed primarily of propane and/or butane, and it burns cleanly without producing soot. It is commonly used in vehicles and household heating appliances.

What is latent heat of LPG?

Because LPG is a mixture, the value of the latent heat will depend on the exact composition of the mixture. The main components of LPG are:

  • propane - C3H8
  • propylene (propene) - C3H6
  • isobutane - C4H10
  • n-butane - C4H10
  • butylene (butene) - C4H8

Since LPG is usually mostly propane and butane, a rough estimate would be in the range of the values for these two components. Note that latent heat is dependent on temperature as well. for the purposes of this answer we will use 30 °F (near the boiling point of butane at atmospheric pressure)

Hvap(propane @ 30 °F) = 163 BTU/lb

Hvap(butane @ 30 °F) = 166 BTU/lb

Does LPG comes from methane gas?

Light hydrocarbons (methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc.) are generally gases at normal temperatures and pressures. With the exception of methane they can be easily turned into liquids when cooled or stored under pressure. All these gases are present in natural gas or the gas fraction of petroleum oils. They are also created during the fractionation, cracking and reforming processes at refineries.

Once liquefied ethane, propane and butane are called. LPGs (Liquefied Petroleum Gases)

Methane is not generally considered an LPG although it can be liquefied at high pressures and low temperatures. All the gases come from the same source

How many liter in 14.2 kg of lpg?

The density of LPG can vary depending on the specific composition, but on average, 1 kg of LPG is approximately equivalent to 1.91 liters. Therefore, 14.2 kg of LPG would be approximately 27 liters.

Do you have LPG gas loss in cylinders?

Do not completely fill the cylinder.

Always check the hoses and fittings.

Why does your car stall when idling and on lpg?

If its a turbo car it will stall if the blow off valve is not shutting properly as the pressure drop is too much for the engine to keep turning, same with lpg when you idle the pressure in the engine drops and it will stall you can correct this by changing the timing

Can coocking lpg gas be used in car engine?

Where I live this is illegal.

But all LPG is the same, the vehicle fuel is just taxed for road use.

What are the sources of LPG?

LPG is available right now in quantities that can service the energy needs of millions of citizens across Europe and the world. Looking forward LPG will remain in abundance globally for the forseeable future. LPG a an energy source which society can depend on for many years to come.

Do people use LPG system in their car in US?

I assume LPG means liquid propane gas. Few automobiles in the US are powered this by lp gas. Some large companies such as utility contractors use lp gas for their trucks, and many companies use lp gas for fork lifts and other such machinery. The expense of converting an engine from gasoline to lp, coupled with the relatively low cost and availability of gasoline (gas prices are rising, but compared to Europe prices here are very low indeed)provide very little motivation to power an automobile in this manner.

Is thioethanol is used as smelling agent in lpg gas?

It is the smelliest substance know, and LPG is odorlessi'm 12 and I know the answer so wat..

What is the thermal expansion factor of LPG?

The thermal expansion factor of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) varies depending on its composition and temperature. On average, the thermal expansion factor for LPG is approximately 0.0012 per degree Celsius. This means that for every degree increase in temperature, LPG will expand by 0.0012 times its original volume.

How do you identify between domestic and commercial lpg?

There is no difference unless the commercial application is used as a propellant then it will not have the ethyl mercaptan added which gives it the strong odor.

What is lpg cars?

LPG cars are liquid petroleum gas cars that can run on normal petrol or LPG

What is the pressure for 50kg LPG gas cylinder?

The pressure in a 50kg LPG gas cylinder can vary, but typically it ranges from 2.0 to 2.3 MPa (megapascals) at 15°C.
