| Application: | Kerosene is used: • As a fuel in the preparation of kerosene–alumina nanofluid. • In the preparation of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) by an incomplete combustion method. • In the synthesis of wrinkled graphene nanostructures by thermal decomposition followed by modified Hummers′ method. |
| Features and Benefits: | Kerosene fuel is ideal for practical use due to its: • High density • High enthalpy • Easy storage |
| General description: | Kerosene is a medium petroleum fraction. It is widely used as a commercial fuel. Kerosene is a complex blend of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons with carbon numbers ranging from C9 – C16 . Flashpoint, distillation range, burning characteristics, sulfur content, color, and cloud point are some of the important characteristics of kerosene. |
