What is the calorific value of gasoline?
1 Answers
Gasoline has a calorific value of approximately 10,490 kcal, which is equivalent to 4.6 × 10^7 J/kg. The following are reasons why a car might emit a gasoline odor: 1. Gasoline leakage: Over time, gasoline pipes in a car may develop cracks, leading to gasoline leakage. This gasoline can enter the car through the air conditioning system. Additionally, aging of the carbon canister rubber tube can cause gasoline vapor leakage. 2. Lack of preheating: Gasoline is refined from various components such as straight-run gasoline, catalytic cracking gasoline, and catalytic reforming gasoline, blended with high-octane components. Not preheating the car before driving and overfilling the fuel tank can both result in a gasoline smell inside the car.
