    UNIT 3 Polymer and Fuel Chemistry

    Uploaded by

    ld6225166
    The document discusses polymer and fuel chemistry concepts including: 1. Cetane number is defined as the percentage of hexa decane in a mixture that has the same ignition lag as the fuel being tested. 2. Octane number determines the quality of petrol fuel by measuring the percentage of isooctane in a mixture that matches the sample's knocking characteristics. 3. Functionality refers to the number of reactive sites on a monomer that allow it to combine with other monomers to form polymers.

    UNIT 3 POLYMERS AND FUEL CHEMISTRY

    Short Questions & Answers


    1. What is cetane number?
    The cetane number is defined as the percentage of hexa decane present in a mixture of hexa
    decane and 2-methl naphthalene, which has the same ignition lag as the fuel under test.

    2. What is Octane number?

    The quality of petrol fuel is determined by its octane number. It designates the % of isooctane in
    a mixture of isooctane and n heptane whose knocking characteristics matches the particular
    sample of petrol.

    3. What is functionality of monomer?

    The number of bonding sites or reactive sites or functional groups, present in a monomer, is known
    as its functionality.

    4. What is monomer?

    Monomer is a micro (small) molecule which combines with each other to form a polymer. EX :
    Hemethyle diamine, ethylene, vinyl chloride.

    5. What is polymer with Example?

    Polymers are macro molecules (big molecules) formed by the repeated liking of large number of
    small molecules called monomers. EX: Polyethylene, Polyvinyl chloride

    6. What is degree of polymerization?

    The number of repeating units (n) in polymer chain is known as degree of polymerization. It is
    represented as by the following
    Molecular Weight of polymer network
    Degree of polymerization (N) (DP) = Molecular weight of monomer
    7. What is power alcohol?

    When ethyl alcohol is blended with petrol at concentration of 5-10 %, it is called power alcohol. In
    other words absolute alcohol is also called power alcohol.
