The property of ignition lag is generally measured in terms of retane number. Cetane, straight-chain paraffin with good ignition quality, is arbitrarily assigned a rating of 100 cetane number. It is mixed with alpha-methyl-naphthalene, a hydrocarbon with poor ignition quality, which is assigned 0 cetane number.

Rajat said:   6 years ago
Cetane as 100 while alpha methyl naphthalene is 0. So it is normal chain paraffin (paraffin).

Rahul said:   6 years ago
Naphthalene is used in race cars as a booster fuel.

Chinmaya G A said:   6 years ago
Sir why naphthalene only using? Explain.

Deep said:   6 years ago
Parrafine is more suitable for CI engine and aromatic is used for SI engine.

The paraffin are major constituents of natural gas and petroleum. Branched-chain paraffins have a much higher octane number rating than straight-chain paraffins and, therefore, are the more desirable constituents of gasoline. The hydrocarbons are immiscible with water. All paraffins are colourless.
