Power kerosene

Burning oil kerosene contains three main types of hydrocarbons— paraffinic, naphthenic, and aromatic— with a preponderance of the paraffinic type. This is in contrast to power kerosene, or tractor vaporizing oil, which has a comparatively high content of aromatics and naphthenes favorable for high octane rating. It may also contain slight amounts of sulfur in the form of a variety of organic compounds. 

Domestic fuel oils are those used primarily in the home and include kerosene, stove oil, and furnace fuel oil. Diesel fuel oils are also distillate fuel oils, but residual oils have been successhjlly used to power marine diesel engines, and mixtures of distillates and residuals have been used on locomotive diesels. Heavy fuel oils include a variety of oils, ranging from distillates to residual oils, that must be heated to 260°C or higher before they can be used. In general, heavy fuel oil consists of residual oil blended with distillate to suit specific needs. Heavy fuel oil includes various industrial oils and, when used to fuel ships, is called bunker oil. 

Vaporized fuel oil gas behaves very elosely to natural gas beeause it provides high performanee with a minimum reduetion of eomponent life. About 40% of the turbine power installed operates on liquid fuels. Liquid fuels ean vary from light volatile naphtha through kerosene to the heavy viseous residuals. The elasses of liquid fuels and their requirements are shown in Table 12-1. 

In 1965 a powerful explosion and ensuing fire occurred while gravity loading kerosene to a barge under conditions producing excessive bubbling, foaming and turbulence [111]. The explosion occurred at much less than the... 

Much higher shear forces than in stirred vessels can arise if the particles move into the gas-liquid boundary layer. For the roughly estimation of stress in bubble columns the Eq. (29) with the compression power, Eq. (10), can be used. The constant G is dependent on the particle system. The comparison of results of bubble columns with those from stirred vessel leads to G = > 1.35 for the floccular particle systems (see Sect. 6.3.6, Fig. 17) and for a water/kerosene emulsion (see Yoshida and Yamada [73]) to G =2.3. The value for the floe system was found mainly for hole gas distributors with hole diameters of dL = 0.2-2 mm, opening area AJA = dJ DY = (0.9... 80) 10 and filled heights of H = 0.4-2.1 m (see Fig. 15). 

Nitro-substituted PAH have received increased attention as an important class of environmental pollutants. They have been detected in an ample variety of sources, including automobile exhaust fumes, wood and cigarette smoke, kerosene heater flue, emissions of coal-driven power stations and grilled meat. These subjects have been reviewed472,473.

Fuels used to power marine, truck, automotive, railroad, and industrial diesel engines fall into the general category of diesel fuel. Heating oil, burner fuel, kerosene, and heavier residual fuels fall primarily into the category of fuel oil. 

A classification system has been developed to describe various fuel oil types. For example 1 fuel oil is similar to kerosene, 2 fuel oil is similar to diesel fuel, and 4 fuel oil is viscous oil at room temperature and is typically used to fuel industrial furnaces. The 5 and 6 fuel oil classifications describe viscous oils which must be heated before burning. These oils are used as bunker fuels in ships and industrial power plants.
