Effect of Benzene and Xylene on Flash Point of Kerosene

Abstract

Kerosene is widely used fuel in household and agriculture application in many regions of the globe. Flash point is an important measure for engine combustion and as well as safety related measures. Effect of Benzene and Xylene on Flash point is measured in different compositions of each compound, concentration of Benzene and Xylene exhibits direct proportional relationship with flash point of kerosene. Effect on improper combustion and improved efficient combustion due to the presence of aromatics can be studied further.
