Do not confuse autoignition with sustained flame temperature, which can vary widely due to a number of contributors. Flame temperature of openly-burned diesel at sea level in an environment of 70°F at 80% humidity can range from 900°C to 1200°C, due to factors such as completion of burn, particle size, etc. A good 'general answer' would be 1200°C, but the technically correct answer is a range, not a specific number.
apparently cooking oil with diesel
Diesel is made by refining crude oil. It's a non-renewable, fossil fuel.
Petroleum. I'm not sure if it's a distillation process. Diesel is refined from petroleum but I'm not sure how.
A low flash point in diesel is caused by contamination of the diesel with lighter petroleum products such as kerosene or gasoline. Drawing more lighter products out of the fractionation tower could reduce contamination of the heavier products. Improving fractionation and improving diesel product stripping performance will raise the flash point.
Diesel
Diesel burns at 210 degrees
It burns at 210 degrees Celsius.
Diesel burns when in an open container, it is not as volatile as gasoline. If you flick a match into diesel fuel, it will typically go out unless it is hot enough to vaporize due to the temperature. In a diesel engine, the fuel explodes when it gets to the right temperature, caused by pressure.
Diesel is burned at higher pressure, higher temperature, and at oxygen excess. Means it burns cleaner and more efficiently.
Petrol first. it has a lower flash point than diesel.
No it burns
what temperature does diesel freeze at in Celsius
Petrol is and bit more vicous and that diesel is a lot darker than petrol. Petrol burns quicker when set alight, however diesel burns more brightly!
diesel doesn't burn. it combusts under pressure
which gas burns at a very high temperature
well the diesel get alittle bit more mpg but not much but the diesel burns cleaner the regular fuel
Where is the temperature sensor located on a 2004 duramax diesel?
