Thanks. I have read about Raoult's law and it makes sense. The problem I have is that I often here cavitation on fuel oil pumps and see the damage of the cavitation. Example If we are pumping heavy fuel oil with flash point of 60 degree C but say the temperature is 85 degree C we experience...

Fuel oil like heavy fuel oil consists of multiple different Carbon and Hydrogen molecule strains. This means that there are a multiple of different boiling points with in the same oil. Cavitation in pumps and valves happen when due to the acceleration of the fluid the pressure drop causing the...

One of my responsibilities is to improve the reliability and performance of all the fuel oil plants and oil burners
