Properties and applications of petroleum products Gases Gaseous refinery products include hydrogen, fuel gas, ethane, propane, and butane. Most of the hydrogen is consumed in refinery desulfurization facilities, which remove hydrogen sulfide from the gas stream and then separate that compound into elemental hydrogen and sulfur; small quantities of the hydrogen may be … Read more
Primary and secondary cells their properties and drawback Primary Cell Primary cells are those that cannot be recharged and needs to be discarded after the expiration of their lifetime. If the electrolyte is not in liquid form, we are talking about dry cells. Primary cells usually have high energy density, capacity, are … Read more
Fuels are any material that store potential energy in forms, which upon burning in oxygen liberates heat energy. Calorific value of fuel is the total quantity of heat liberated when a unit mass or volume of fuel is completely burnt. Higher or gross calorific value (HCV) in the total amount of heat produced … Read more
It should possess high calorific value. It should have proper ignition temperature. The ignition temperature of the fuel should neither be too low nor too high. It should not produce poisonous products during combustion. In other words, it should not cause pollution o combustion. It should have moderate rate of combustion. Combustion should be … Read more
Gaseous refinery products include hydrogen, fuel gas, ethane, propane, and butane. Most of the hydrogen is consumed in refinery desulfurization facilities, which remove hydrogen sulfide from the gas stream and then separate that compound into elemental hydrogen and sulfur; small quantities of the hydrogen may be delivered to the refinery fuel system. Refinery fuel gas … Read more
