Heavy Fractions of Crude Oil
Heavy fractions of crude oil do NOT make good fuels because they:
Don't ignite easily
Have high boiling points
Have low volatility
Test yourself on Heavy Fractions of Crude Oil
The reasons why heavy fractions of crude oil don't make good fuels
Good fuels need to ignite easily, have low boiling points and high volatility. Which type of crude oil fraction fails to meet these requirements?
Why don't heavy fractions of crude oil make good fuels?
Heavy fractions of crude oil have high boiling points, which stops them from being good fuels. What type of boiling point does a good fuel need?
Would heavy fractions of crude oil work well as fuel in a car engine, which needs quick ignition and easy vaporising?
