What is the energy density of gasoline?
1 Answers
The energy density of gasoline is 0.70g/cm³-0.78g/cm³. Physicochemical properties of gasoline: At room temperature, gasoline is a colorless to light yellow mobile liquid that is difficult to dissolve in water, flammable, with a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. It explodes when exposed to fire at concentrations of 74-123 grams per cubic meter in air. The calorific value of gasoline is approximately 44,000 kJ/kg (the calorific value of fuel refers to the heat produced by the complete combustion of 1kg of fuel). Introduction to gasoline: The English name for gasoline is Gasoline (US)/Petrol (UK). It appears as a transparent liquid, is combustible, with a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. Its main components are C5-C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into grades such as 90, 93, 95, and 97 based on the octane number.
