gasoline vapor properties

gasoline vapor properties

(OP)
I am having a very difficult time finding properties for gasoline vapor. Specifically the viscosity, thermal conductivity, and specific heat. Does anyone know a good reference for these values or at least know how each compare to air (ie higher/lower values).

 

RE: gasoline vapor properties

A suggestion is to find a copy of the engineering data book of the GPSA(Gas Processors Suppliers Association.

RE: gasoline vapor properties

since gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbons with boiling points from 80F to 300F, there is a range.  To make it simple, just use properties of say heptane.

RE: gasoline vapor properties

What is the situation?  Are you sure this is essentially pure gasoline vapor?   The vapor above liquid gasoline in an atmospheric storage will have a significant amount of air also.  The ration of air / gasoline vapor depends on the vapor pressure of the gasoline which is also dependent on temperature.

RE: gasoline vapor properties

My atmospheric storage might contain some nitrogen.
