Study on combustion characteristics of different compositions of LPG

Varieties of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are based on variety composition of propane and butane. The common composition of LPG contains 70% or 60% volume of butane and 30% or 40% volume of propane. However there have some variations of LPG composition as dictated by its usages and applications. Be...

The common composition of LPG contains 70% or 60% volume of butane and 30% or 40% volume of propane. However there have some variations of LPG composition as dictated by its usages and applications.

The results get from this research are the calorific value of LPG that contains more butane is higher than one contains more propane. Beside that, the emission from LPG combustion is increased with the number of hydrocarbon in the LPG composition. Finally, the flame speed is decreasing when the composition of hydrocarbon is higher; in other word it decreases when LPG is contains more butane. The LPG that contains higher number of hydrocarbon can give more quantity heat by its combustion but the flame speed from it combustion slower and it also gives a higher effect to environment.
