Diesel fuel

Description:
Diesel fuel, identified by the CAS number 68334-30-5, is a complex mixture primarily composed of hydrocarbons derived from the distillation of crude oil. It typically contains alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic hydrocarbons, with carbon chain lengths generally ranging from C10 to C20. Diesel fuel is characterized by its higher energy density compared to gasoline, making it an efficient fuel for internal combustion engines, particularly in heavy-duty vehicles and machinery. It has a higher boiling point and a lower volatility, which contributes to its performance in various operating conditions. Diesel fuel also exhibits a cetane number, which indicates its ignition quality; higher cetane numbers correlate with better engine performance and reduced emissions. Additionally, diesel fuel can contain additives to improve stability, reduce emissions, and enhance cold-weather performance. Environmental considerations are significant, as diesel combustion produces nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, prompting the development of cleaner alternatives and stricter regulations on emissions. Overall, diesel fuel plays a crucial role in transportation and industry, balancing efficiency with environmental impact.
