The calorific value of gasoline is 44,000 kJ/kg. Below is an introduction about gasoline: 1. Overview: Gasoline is a transparent, flammable liquid with a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. 2. Composition: Gasoline is refined from various petroleum-derived components such as straight-run gasoline, catalytic cracking gasoline, and catalytic reforming gasoline, blended with high-octane components. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is graded into different types such as 90, 93, 95, and 97 based on octane ratings.
