What is the Compressibility of Diesel Fuel at 10 Degrees Celsius?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The compressibility of diesel fuel at 10 degrees Celsius is a critical parameter for various engineering applications. While specific values for diesel fuel were not provided, the discussion highlighted the relevance of the Bulk Modulus of Jet-A jet fuel as a comparable reference. Jet-A is essentially a refined form of diesel fuel, making its properties applicable for understanding diesel fuel behavior under similar conditions. This information is essential for professionals working in fuel engineering and related fields.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fuel properties, specifically compressibility and density.
  • Familiarity with the Bulk Modulus concept in fluid mechanics.
  • Knowledge of temperature effects on fuel characteristics.
  • Basic principles of thermodynamics as they relate to liquids.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Bulk Modulus of Jet-A jet fuel and its implications for diesel fuel.
  • Investigate the compressibility of diesel fuel at various temperatures.
  • Explore the relationship between density and compressibility in hydrocarbon fuels.
  • Study the effects of pressure on the compressibility of liquid fuels.
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, fuel scientists, and professionals in the petroleum industry seeking to understand the physical properties of diesel fuel and its applications in various engineering contexts.

Could anybody advise the compressibility of Diesel fuel at 10 degrees Celsius?

Thanks

Do you really want to look at compressibility or do you simply want the density @ 10°C?
 
Commpressibility of Diesel fuel

I am looking for compressibility at or around 10 degrees Celsius

Thanks
 
The only thing I have would be the Bulk Modulus of Jet-A jet fuel vs. temp and system pressure. Jet-A is essentially a refined diesel fuel. It should get you what you need.
