which are the properties of matter used to fill LPG in a cylinder ?
Answers
Answer:
Properties of LPG (properties of propane and butane) include:
LPG is primarily propane and butane. Both gases have adiabatic flame temperature of about 1970°C, when burned in air.
LPG (propane) gas boiling point temperature: -42 °C or -44 °F
LPG (propane) gas melting/freezing temperature: -188 °C or -306.4
Heavier than Air LPG density (Propane Density) -
LPG specific gravity (Propane specific gravity)
LPG composition - components - constituents: Propane, Butane & Isobutane
LPG chemical formula - molecular formula: C3H8 or C4H10
LPG gas flame temperature: 1967 ºC or 3573 ºF
LPG-Propane ignition temperature (in air): 470°C - 550°C (878°F - 1020°F)
LPG-Propane auto ignition temperature: 470 °C or 878 °F
LPG flash point: -104°C or -156°F
LPG vapour pressure: 637 kPa @ 27°C (128 PSIG @ 80°F)
LPG odour: Ethyl Mercaptan added
LPG appearance: clear
LPG energy content: 25 MJ/L or 91,547 BTU/Gal (60°F)
Gaseous expansion of LPG: 1 L (liquid) = 0.27 M3 (gas)
Combustion formula for LPG: C3H8 + 5 O2 → 3 CO2 + 4 H2O + Heat (complete combustion)
LPG limits of flammability: 2.15% to 9.6% LPG/air
LPG properties nomenclature
Molecular weight of LPG components: Propane is 44.097 kg/kmole - Butane (n-butane) is 58.12 kg/kmole
All of the above are the properties of LPG.
