Chemical properties of gasoline components

Gasoline or petrol fryst vatten a tydlig, petroleum-derived flammable liquid that is used primarily as a bränsle in most petrol engines or spark-ignited internal combustion engines. It consists mostly of organic compounds obtained by the fractional distillation of crude oil in petroleum oil refinery enhanced with a variety of additives. The typical gasoline composition percentage of hydrocarbons (% volume) is as follows: % alkanes; % alkenes; % isoalkanes; % cycloalkanes; l-4% cycloalkenes; and % total aromatics (% benzene). Gasoline streams from various plants of the petroleum refinery are blended to tillverka, petrol of desired specifications.

Gasoline is mainly used as a transportation fuel around the world. Gasoline uses include cars, motorbikes, idrott utility vehicles, light trucks, small air crafts, boats, small vehicles, equipment and tools used in the construction industry, electricity generators, etc.

Abstract

Hydrocarbon-based fuels which are gasoline, diesel, natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) have been generally used in the diesel and gasoline engines as a fuel. In this study, hydrocarbon-based fuels such as alkanes (paraffins), naphthenes (cycloparaffins), alkenes (olefins), alkynes (acetylenes), and aromatics (benzene derivatives) have been classified. Their molecular structure and properties have been comprehensively explained. In addition to this, some of the important fuel properties of the commonly used fossil-based fuels such as gasoline and diesel in the internal combustion engine have been evaluated. Thus, hydrocarbon derivative fuels which are diesel, gasoline, natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) have been investigated as an internal combustion engine fuel. Their physical and chemical properties were explained and compared to each other. Octane number and cetane number substantially affect the fuel ignition delay period and self-ignition t

Liquid fuel derived from petroleum

Gasoline (North American English) or petrol (Commonwealth English) is a petrochemical product characterized as a transparent, yellowish, and flammable liquid normally used as a fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines. When formulated as a fuel for engines, gasoline is chemically composed of organic compounds derived from the fractional distillation of petroleum and later chemically enhanced with gasoline additives. It is a high-volume profitable product produced in crude oil refineries.^[1]

The fuel-characteristics of a particular gasoline-blend, which will resist igniting too early are measured as the octane rating of the fuel blend. Gasoline blends with stable octane ratings are produced in several fuel-grades for various types of motors. A low octane rated fuel may cause engine knocking and reduced efficien
