Chalorific Value and Diesel Formula

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the composition and calorific value of diesel fuel, specifically the type used in cars. Key points include inquiries about how diesel is produced, its chemical makeup, and the methods for calculating its calorific value. Variations in the calorific value of standard diesel are also of interest. The original poster seeks guidance and references to deepen their knowledge on these topics. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for detailed information on diesel fuel's properties and calculations.

Hey, my first post so be nice if i have got it in the wrong forum =)

I am studying a Diesel engine, and wanted to find out more about the composition of Diesel. Ie, how its made, and what chemical composition it has, and any relevant equations?

I am looking for a few things, but Chalorific value is one, and how this is calculated and how much variation there is in theis value for Diesel.

I am looking for highstreet diesel, the one you use in the car.

Any information or a push in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
