    auto-ignition temperature of diesel

    cetane number is 45. That tells me that my diesel has under half the chance to self-ignition than hexadecan (which is the reference)?? Am I right? And it looks like I should focus more on the chain length and aromaticity of the diesel, than the pressure change in the pipeline? Thank you both...

    auto-ignition temperature of diesel

    thank you!!! I need to take this further, and discuss the reliability of the datasheet used for this project. U re right, it looks like it must be in Fahrenheit. The change of units is a dangerous thing in this business:) cheers

    auto-ignition temperature of diesel

    Thank you, i will look into the other treads. Yes the self- igniton temperature is in degrees celcius...well the safety data sheet is saying that.... cheers

    auto-ignition temperature of diesel

    Hi, I work with a project of using diesel to run a pig through a pipeline offshore in the northern sea. I know the auto-ignition temperature of the diesel we want to use is 450 deg C, . It is a possibility that the pressure in this pipeline will increase to a 100 barg. Will this change the auto...

    Choose a process simulation model.

    Hi Thank you all for good respons:) I will use all the advise I got, and look into the different simulation models, and hopefully I will choose the right one:) The main use of the simulation, is for the oil and gas plant. Homayun..Do you mean that Pro II does not longer excist? The new sim model...

    Choose a process simulation model.

    Hi. I m a process engineer, and have done some simulation on HYSYS. I resently got a new job, where Im suppose to get into process simulation in the future, although the company has not chosen one particular model to use. I like HYSYS, but the company wants to have the options open, and then...
