Vapour Pressure of Ethylene
Ethylene (CH2 =CH2) is obtained by cracking petroleum distillate and is an important ‘building block’ in petrochemical manufacture. Large quantities of it are transported. Ethylene…

Vapour Pressures of Liquefied Natural Gas
This has in some degree been anticipated in the previous section. Vapour pressures of pure methane and pure propane are of course, at a particular…
Liquefied Natural Gas
The most common of the former is LNG (liquefied natural gas) and the most common of the latter is LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), which have…
Vapour Pressures of Biodiesel Fuel
As with some of the other properties considered it is helpful first to examine the vapour pressures of pure methyl esters. The normal boiling points,…
Particle Deposition of Biodiesel Fuels
The esters methyl stearate, methyl oleate, methyl linoleate and methyl linolenate are C18 compounds and have respectively no double bonds and one, two and three…
Refractive Index of Biodiesel Fuels
In the esterification of oil to make biodiesel glycerol initially present in the unprocessed plant oil, being denser than the product ester, separates and is…
Viscosity of Biodiesel Fuels
These are of increasing importance because of their carbon neutrality. Examples include soybean oil, sunflower oil, palm oil and rapeseed oil (a.k.a canola oil). Spent…
Conductivity of Ethanol 85
Ethanol 85 or E85 is probably the most widely used of the ethanol-gasoline blends at the present time.We know a value of 25 pS-1 would…
Reid Vapor Pressure of Gasoline
Clearly with blends low in ethanol such as E5 and EIO the chief determinant in the vapour pressure will be the reid vapor pressure of the…
Vapour Pressures Ethanol Gasoline Blends
These are of major importance as fuels for spark-ignition engines. One often encounters `E85′ and so on, signifying a particular percentage of alcohol, balance gasoline.…
