Properties of Bunker C
Properties of Crude Oils and Oil Products Bunker C Light Fuel Oil Equation(s) for Predicting Evaporation %Ev = (0.0035 + 0.0026T)sqrt(t) Where %Ev = weight percent evaporated; T = surface temperature (°C); t = time (minutes) Reference ID ESD 96 … Continue reading
Bunker C Specification
The heavy oil is usually used as fuel for the boiler and fire pot. There is no de-sulfurization process for the heavy oil, so some specifications, e.g. sulfur and nitrogen, indicate a little high values compared to other oils such as … Continue reading
Fuel Oil and Combustion Values
The heating or combustion value of a fuel can be expressed as the quantity of heat (Btu per gallon) released during the combustion process where oxygen from the air reacts with the hydrogen and carbon in the fuel. The combustion … Continue reading
Bunker fuel
Small molecules like those in propane, naphtha, gasoline for cars, and jet fuel have relatively low boiling points, and they are removed at the start of the fractional distillation process. Heavier petroleum products like diesel and lubricating oil are much less … Continue reading
