Paraffin's are best fuel for CI engine.

But, I think it's A.

Dokhebaaz said:   8 years ago
For naphthalene cetan no is zero so how it can be the best fuel for ci engines?

So, answer should be A.

Iso-octane is branched chain paraffin.

No, Alpha-Methylene has 0 cetane number and naphthalene has 100 cetane number.

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.

Parrafine is more suitable for CI engine and aromatic is used for SI engine.

Sir why naphthalene only using? Explain.

Rahul said:   7 years ago
Naphthalene is used in race cars as a booster fuel.

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