Evaporation rate of gasoline

Evaporation rate of gasoline

Evaporation rate of gasoline

(OP)
Does anyone know how to estimate volumetric evap rate of gasoline from a bath at a steady state ambient temp (> 0°C)? Pressure is atmospheric.  
Thanks.

RE: Evaporation rate of gasoline

The rate of evaporation of gasoline varies with brand, grade and whether it's refined for summer/winter/high altitude/or racing etc. Also different compounds in the mixture evaporate at different rates.

RE: Evaporation rate of gasoline

Will also depend critically on the partial pressure of each of your volatile constituents in the gas space above the bath.  This is a function not only of the atmospheric pressure (which you specify) but also of the degree of ventilation (which you don't).

How do you ascertain corrosiveness (acidity) of fuel c+ elemental sulfur? How does temperature affect this property?

RE: Evaporation rate of gasoline

Generally its assessed via the copper strip corrosion test (ASTM D130).  A polished copper strip is immersed in the fuel for a period of time and then visually rated compared to a standard scale.  Technically I don't know that temperature 'increases' corrosivity so much as speeds the reaction that's already there.
