Petroleum Refinery Engineering
28.
Pick out the wrong statement.
Aromatics have higher specific gravity than paraffins,
Gross calorific value (GCV) of petrofuels is equal to (12400 - 2100 ρ2) where, ρ is the specific gravity of the fuel at 15.5°C.
Heavier petrofuels have higher GCV on weight basis (i.e., Kcal/kg) but lower GCV on volume basis (i.e., Kcal/litre).
Higher specific gravity of petrofuels means higher C/H ratio.
Answer: Option

The specific gravity of a petroleum product gives an indication of its density, which is the mass per unit volume of the substance.

Therefore, the answer to your question would be Option (B) hydrocarbon content type, as the specific gravity can provide some indication of the composition of the petroleum product, as different types of hydrocarbons have different densities.
