Study Notes
Biobutanol
- The molecular formula of biobutanol is C4H10O.
- It is primarily used as a biofuel.
- Biobutanol can be blended up to 85% with gasoline for use in spark ignition engines without modification.
- Good combustion is achieved when fuel and air are mixed in the correct ratio.
- Liquid or solid fuel must be vaporized to form a gas before it can be burned.
- Combustion is the rapid oxidation of fuel, releasing heat and light.
Fuel & Agricultural Mechanization
- The main purpose of fuel in agricultural mechanization is to power farm machinery.
- Combustion involves a combustible substance reacting with oxygen and releasing energy.
- Fuel efficiency is measured primarily by its calorific value.
- Gasoline, commonly derived from crude oil, is typically used in vehicles.
Fuel Types
- Gasoline is used in spark-ignition engines.
- Diesel fuel is typically used in compression-ignition engines.
- Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a type of gasoline consisting of propane and butane.
- Methane is the major component of natural gas.
- The calorific value of kerosene ranges from 4000 to 5000 kcal/kg.
- Butane weighs approximately 2.5 times more than air.
Gas Producer
- A gas producer converts solid fuel into a combustible gas called producer gas.
- LPG, being heavier than air, can flow on the ground and be ignited even at a distance.
