METHODS OF INCREASING THE ENERGY CONTENT OF HYDROCARBON FUELS

Abstract

The energy content of hydrocarbon fuel can be estimated efficiently using only the heat of combustion per unit volume. The most effective method for increasing the energy content of hydrocarbon fuel is to add the maximum amount of aromatic hydrocarbons with high density. Operations must be developed to seek methods of improving the properties of aromatic hydrocarbons during their combustion in an engine. (Author)
