What is the coefficient of thermal expansion of Petrol and diesel?

For pentane which is close to gasoline it is .74 x 10^3 per degree F\n\nI can't find diesel but 35 deg API crude is .44 x 10^3\n\nBecause these are liquids, the term is cubical expansion i.e. incremental volume change for a degree rise in temperature.

Yes you do, for a couple of reasons.\n\nFirst, a Diesel engine is more thermally efficient than a gasoline engine.  Therefore it can extract more power from the combustion process than a gasoline engine.\n\n\nSecond, diesel fuel contains more energy per gallon than gasoline.  A gallon of gasoline, when burned, will produce approximately 125,300 BTUs of heat energy.  A gallon of diesel (petroleum based) will produce 138,200 BTUs of heat energy.\n\nB100 is slightly less because B100 has less energy per gallon than petro diesel.  About 8% less energy per gallon, so figure roughly an 8% decrease in economy with B100 vs. petro diesel.

My dad in Australia has converted his car to run on Liquid Petroleum Gas. It has halved his costs every time he fills his tank. See the link below for more info.

Generally,\n\n                        The output\nEffiency =   ----------         ,Dimentionless\n                         The Input\n\nExamples: -Car motor as a whole= Mechanical energy supplied by it to the car/ Heat deliverd to it\n\n-Pump: effiency=Hydraulic energy/Electric energy supplied\n\nFor a multi component system:\n\nEffiency= Component.1 eff. * component.2 eff.*...\n\nSo,the overall effiency is lower than individual effiencies

Que la combustion soit efficace ou non ne change rien puisque le CO2 est un des éléments produits par la combustion de l'essence.\nSi la f1 consomme 50L/100, elle produira 5 fois plus qu'une voiture qui en consomme 10L/100.

1 ton of diesel fuel contains 39,312,123 BTUs  or, in other words,   \n\ndiesel fuel  is 39,312,123 BTU/ton

if u are referring to expansion due to heating than the order of expansion of the substances from lowest to largest is solid, liquids, than gases. But a solid's expansion is extremely low, almost impossible to measure unless its a metal.

Without realizing it, you basically answered your question in the way you phrased it.  Petrol costs more than diesel because it requires further steps in the refining process than diesel.

The harmonic balancing of rotating shafts and machinery including wheels and turbines. Without this process, out of balance forces would tear the machines apart and cause very severe vibration. The diesel is a lot beefier compared to a similar cubic capacity petrol engine. The diesel will usually be fitted with an injection pump and injector pipes a petrol engine isn't. Jules. Australia.

Naptha (common usage), gasoline, and diesel fuel are both hydrocarbon chains. Naptha has relatively short chains, probably 6 to 7 carbons long. Gasoline is a little longer, in the 8 carbon region. Diesel fuel, yet again longer. I don't know the average carbon length for Diesel, but I'd guess around 10. The longer the chain, the higher the boiling temp, the higher the flash point, the harder it is to ignite, and the higher the viscosity.\n\nNaptha, as a term used in the US (common usage) typically means the same thing as what was most commonly used as lighter fluid in hand held lighters. In some Euporean countries, it's means an easily flammable, volitile petroleum product, of which, gasoline is one.

the density keeps on varying \n\nfor eg this \n\n\nThe density of crude oil varies, depending upon the amount of heavy and light components. Typical values, in Kg per cubic meter are:\n\n    * Mexican crude oil 973\n    * Texas crude oil 873\n    * Gasoline 737\n    * Kerosene 817\n    * Diesel 840\n    * Automobile oil 880 - 940\n    * Pure water (at 4°C) 1000

An example of this is when the air is released from a pneumatic tire; the outlet air will be noticably cooler than the tire, and after all the air has escaped the valve stem will be cold to the touch. Diesel engines rely on adiabatic heating during their compression stroke to reach the high temperatures needed to ignite the fuel. Such temperature changes can be quantified using the ideal gas law.

'c' is the right answer.\nuse I law of thermo...\nU=Q-W\nU=Q-Q/4\nU=3Q/4\nBut U=n*C*T where n is moles,C is molar heat cap.for const volume.\nLet us assume that the heat absorbed during the process as\nQ=n* A*T\nwhere A can be defined as molar heat capacity for the process.\nso , n*C*T=3*n*A*T/4\nA=4C/3\nFor a diatomic gas C=5R/2(C=no.of degrees of freedom*R/2)\nA=4*5R/3*2\nA=10R/3

Diesel is a hydrocarbon mix. It contains a wide variety of different carbon chains, usually between C9H20 and C12H26. Diesel is actually one of the 'byproducts' of refining oil into fuels - it's too heavy for Gasoline, and too light for heating oils / lubricants.
