Sure! Here's a neat list for you:
Four important properties for selecting a fuel for an engine:
-
Calorific Value:
➔ The amount of energy released when a certain amount of fuel is burned.
➔ Higher calorific value means more energy output and better efficiency. -
Ignition Quality:
➔ For petrol engines: Octane Number (resistance to knocking).
➔ For diesel engines: Cetane Number (ease of ignition).
➔ Good ignition quality ensures smooth and efficient combustion. -
Volatility:
➔ Ability of the fuel to vaporize easily.
➔ Important for proper air-fuel mixing, especially during cold starts. -
Viscosity:
➔ Thickness or flow resistance of liquid fuel.
➔ Affects fuel injection and atomization, especially in diesel engines.
