Kerosene also spelled kerosine, also called paraffin or paraffin oil, flammable hydrocarbon liquid commonly used as a fuel. Kerosene is typically pale yellow or colorless and has a not-unpleasant characteristic odor. It is obtained from petroleum and is used for burning in kerosene lamps and domestic heaters or furnaces, as a fuel or fuel component for jet engines, and as a solvent for greases and insecticides.Chemically, kerosene is a mixture of hydrocarbons. The chemical composition depends on its source, but it usually consists of about 10 different hydrocarbons, each containing 10 to 16 carbon atoms per molecule. The main constituents are saturated straight-chain and branched-chain paraffin, as well as ring-shaped cycloparaffins
(also known as naphthenes).
Kerosene is less volatile than gasoline. Its flash point (the temperature at which it will generate a flammable vapor near its surface) is 38 °C (100 °F) or higher, whereas that of gasoline is as low as −40 °C (−40 °F). This property makes kerosene a relatively safe fuel to store and handle.Kerosene is a non-corrosive fuel, meaning it's far less dangerous than other types of fuel. It can be stored for years, provided it is kept safe (consider outdoor storage to reduce the chances of accidental spills near the home)
Uses:
- Kerosene is a major component of aviation fuel, making up more than 60% of the fuel. In addition, it can be used as an oil in central heating systems and can be used as a cleaning agent.
- Acting as a cleaning liquid, it can be used on bike chains or rims to remove the lubricant.
- Although the use of kerosene in many places has decreased over the years as a result of improved access to electricity and natural gas, it is still used extensively in the developing world for cooking, heating, and lighting.
- Kerosene cooking is extensive in developing countries, especially among urban populations.
- Kerosene is often seen as a good alternative to solid fuels, biomass, and coal and thus kerosene lanterns are used in places where access to electricity is not available.
- It is estimated that globally 500 million households use fuels such as kerosene for lighting.
- Kerosene is a safer component in Jet A1 Kero. Compared to gasoline, it's less prone to freezing and doesn't burn too quickly at high temperatures.
