  2. Hydrofluoroolefin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoroolefin

    Many refrigerants in the HFO class are inherently stable chemically and inert, non toxic, and non-flammable or mildly flammable. Many HFOs have the proper freezing and boiling points to be useful for refrigeration at common temperatures.

  3. Fuel oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_oil

    No. 5 fuel oil is also called Navy Special Fuel Oil (NSFO) or just navy special; No. 5 or 6 are also commonly called heavy fuel oil (HFO) or furnace fuel oil (FFO); the high viscosity requires heating, usually by a recirculated low pressure steam system, before the oil can be pumped from a bunker tank. Bunkers are rarely labeled this way in ...

  4. Fuel viscosity control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_viscosity_control

    Fuel oil's viscosity strongly depends on the temperature, the higher is the temperature the lower is the viscosity. For optimal combustion the viscosity of the fuel should be in the range of 10–20 cSt. To maintain this value a combination of viscometer, PID controller and heater is used. Viscometer measures the actual viscosity of the fuel ...

  5. Heavy fuel oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_fuel_oil

    Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is a category of fuel oils of a tar-like consistency. Also known as bunker fuel , or residual fuel oil , HFO is the result or remnant from the distillation and cracking process of petroleum .

  6. Temperature dependence of viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_dependence_of...

    Increasing temperature results in a decrease in viscosity because a larger temperature means particles have greater thermal energy and are more easily able to overcome the attractive forces binding them together. An everyday example of this viscosity decrease is cooking oil moving more fluidly in a hot frying pan than in a cold one.

  7. List of viscosities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_viscosities

    Consequently, if a liquid has dynamic viscosity of n centiPoise, and its density is not too different from that of water, then its kinematic viscosity is around n centiStokes. For gas, the dynamic viscosity is usually in the range of 10 to 20 microPascal-seconds, or 0.01 to 0.02 centiPoise. The density is usually on the order of 0.5 to 5 kg/m^3.

  8. 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene

    2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene, HFO-1234yf, is a hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) with molecular formula CH 2 =CFCF 3. Its primary application is as a refrigerant with low global warming potential (GWP). [1] [2] As a refrigerant, it is designated R-1234yf [1] and marketed under the names Opteon YF by Chemours and as Solstice YF by Honeywell. [3]

  9. Viscosity index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_index

    The higher the VI, the more stable the viscosity remains over some temperature range. The VI was originally measured on a scale from 0 to 100; however, advancements in lubrication science have led to the development of oils with much higher VIs. [1] The viscosity of a lubricant is closely related to its ability to reduce friction in solid body ...
