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

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the compressibility of diesel fuel at 10 degrees Celsius, with participants exploring related properties such as density and the bulk modulus of similar fuels.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Filippo inquires about the specific compressibility of diesel fuel at 10 degrees Celsius.
  • One participant questions whether Filippo is actually seeking compressibility or simply the density at that temperature.
  • Another participant mentions the bulk modulus of Jet-A jet fuel, suggesting it could provide relevant information since Jet-A is a refined version of diesel fuel.
  • Filippo expresses gratitude for the information about the bulk modulus, indicating it may be useful for his inquiry.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not reach a consensus on the specific compressibility of diesel fuel, and multiple perspectives on related properties are presented.

Contextual Notes

There is a lack of specific data on compressibility, and the discussion relies on the bulk modulus of Jet-A as a potential reference point, which may not directly equate to diesel fuel's compressibility.

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.

Many thanks! This will work.
