(saturated and unsaturated ranged from C-3
TURBISCA
to C-4). It is characterized by high purity and

calorific values.

butane-isobutane-butylene.
o It is produced by two ways
a- extraction from natural gaseous by
(compression and cooling, adsorption and
cryogenic process which based on
refrigeration by direct expansion).
b- refining of crude oil (distillation).

trimethyl pentane) in a blend with n-
heptane which is equal to the test fuel
in knock intensity under standard and
closely controlled conditions of the test
in a single cylinder.
Iso-octane has octane number =100
N-heptane has octane number = 0
®
The knocking in an engine may result in loss

of energy and may cause severe damage to
N
engine.
Gasoline as fuel
o Spark ignition engine

TURBISCA
1. Gasoline is pumped from tank and delivered

to carburetor which have two function:
- metering (mixing fuel and air)
- atomization (adequate homogeneity of
the air and fuel.
2. The fuel is pumped to engine through valve
by accelerator pedal.
3. Spark start ignition of gasoline which is
based on volatility.

®
speed of vehicle.
N
Types of gasoline additives

number.
