Electrical Conductivity of Diesel Fuel
The conductivity of fuel is calculated for the ability of a fuel to dissipate the static electric charge. Diesel fuel is a hydrocarbon. Diesel fuel…

Refractive Index of Diesel Fuel
The absolute refractive index of a medium is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in that…
Vapour Pressure of Kerosene
The vapor pressure of a liquid is defined as the pressure exerted by the molecules that escape from the liquid to form a separate vapor…
Electrical Conductivities of Kerosene
Kerosene jet fuel typically has 50 pS m-1 conductivity. Although the conductivity is an underlying characteristic of petroleum liquids, there is an inconsistency on the…
Viscosities at Flight Altitudes
Viscosities at the temperature of flight are relevant to performance, and accordingly review of a study of the viscosities of jet fuels at such temperatures…
Describe Solid Deposition
The temperature at which wax appears is an important factor in jet fuel specification. At the cloud point wax appears6. Specification for jet fuels take…
Density of Kerosine
A typical density for a kerosene jet aircraft fuel would be 780 kg nr3 or 50°API. Of course, there is a large difference between the…
Physical Properties of Kerosene
In the distillation of crude oil there is a gap between gasoline and kerosene, the fraction known as naphtha. Unprocessed naphtha is unsuitable for blending…
Natural Gas Condensate
Oil and gas in a deep well are of course significantly higher in temperature than ambient. Natural gas, associated or non-associated, on cooling releases hydrocarbon…
Refinements to the Reid Vapour Pressure
When the Reid Vapour Pressure is measured there is air in the confined space which was previously dissolved in the test sample. Corrections for this can…
