Diesel Expansion Fuel

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on the linear and cubic expansion coefficients of diesel fuel and kerosene. Specific gravity (SG) of diesel fuel varies linearly from 0.91 at 0°F to 0.76 at 300°F. This change in specific gravity can be used to calculate the fuel's expansion. The provided link offers additional information on the topic. Understanding these coefficients is essential for applications involving temperature variations in diesel fuel.

Does anyone have the linear or cubical expansion coefficients of diesel fuel/kerosene?

Diesel fuel specific gravity (ref water @ 60°F)is pretty linear between 0 and 300°F. At 0°F, SG=.91 At 300°F, SG=.76. You can back out the expansion from that.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing , The core is PLA material (3d printed) The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm

Thread 'Fundamental Probability'

If the universe is fundamentally probabilistic, and all possible outcomes are realized in some branch of the multiverse, does that invalidate the concept of scientific inquiry? If knowledge is merely a description of one particular branch of reality, does it have any inherent value?
