What is the Chemical Formula of Diesel? - Physics Forums
2011年8月23日 · Homework Statement For a assessment task at school, I have to compare various types of fuel, one of which is diesel. One aspect of the task is to name the chemical formula for each fuel. The Attempt at a Solution I keep finding that the formula for diesel is C12H23. I know that diesel is...
Understanding Non-Integer Atom Counts in Chemical Reactions
2010年3月14日 · c12h23.4 + 12.265(o2) ---> 11.7(h2o) + 6.415(co2) + 5.585(c) The problem started with the compound C12H23.4 which is the published formula for a high-grade kerosene of the form CnH1.95n. So, in the beginning, there exists a non-integer value of hydrogen atoms (which seems crazy), and this propagates through the entire equation to create even ...
Calculate Density of Gas Mixture for Oil Burner - Physics Forums
2011年3月13日 · Light heating oil (C12H23): 840 kg/m3 and air: 1.185 kg/m3 The system is: oil burner in a small burning device and i want to calculate what density is in the inside the burning device. I want to know the density for LAMBDA: 1.2 Operating conditions: Pressure of oil injection is: 12 bar Max. pressure of burning device is: 2 bar
Specific Heat Capacity of Diesel Liquid & Gas - J/kgK - Physics …
2010年11月26日 · The diesel is consumed in a reaction, and (for all intents and purposes) CO2 and H2O are produced. The specific heat of that mixture can be found by taking a simple mixture of the gases produced using a combustion equation and something like C12H23 as a decent stand-in for diesel fuel.
Named unit for momentum - Physics Forums
2024年10月21日 · Got an email today proposing naming the unit of momentum for Emmy Noether. It would be either the noether or the emmynoether: some people feel it is important to emphasize her gender. My understanding is it would not be SI, but US-only. Rereading the enail, it might not even be MKSA; I suppose...
Fuel Saving Thread: Motoring Tips & Tricks | Page 4 - Physics Forums
2008年4月30日 · A Typical chemical formula of diesel = C12H23. When combusted the C combines with O2 to produce CO2 and the H2 combines with O2 to produce 2 H2O. H2O = Water
Calculating work done in a piston - Physics Forums
2012年9月19日 · I come from a civil engineering background and I'm about to start a masters in nuclear energy. I have no experience in thermodynamics and I've been doing a bit of revision before the course commences to get me up to speed but I'm really stuck on the following problem although it should be pretty...
