How is the efficiency of of fuel measured? (diethylene glycol) (paraffin wax)
Conduct research on both diethylene glycol and paraffin wax; for each fuel, summarize in one or two sentences how these fuels are synthesized.
Explain the difference in the efficiencies of the fuels you tested based on the chemical structures of the fuels.
1)
The efficiency of a fuel is measured in terms of how effectively it is burnt in air and whether or not oxygen atoms present in the structure. chain length of organic compound is also affects the efficiency of fuel
glycol is better fuel than paraffin wax . because glycol contains oxygen in its structure which helps the combustion faster and produce more energy.
2)
paraffin wax is a byproduct of petroleum and seems to be the most common type of wax used in candles.Diethylene Glycol is produced by the partial hydrolysis of ethylene oxide. Depending on the conditions, varying amounts of Diethylene Glycol and related glycols are produced.
3)
the fuel which contains oxygen in its formula is most the effcicient because which helps the substance burn faster
