  2. Flammability diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammability_diagram

    Such diagrams are available in the speciality literature. [1] [2] [3] The same information can be depicted in a normal orthogonal diagram, showing only two substances, implicitly using the feature that the sum of all three components is 100 percent. The diagrams below only concerns one fuel; the diagrams can be generalized to mixtures of fuels.

  3. Alkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkane

    The alkanes have two main commercial sources: petroleum (crude oil) and natural gas. An alkyl group is an alkane-based molecular fragment that bears one open valence for bonding. They are generally abbreviated with the symbol for any organyl group , R, although Alk is sometimes used to specifically symbolize an alkyl group (as opposed to an ...

  4. Natural gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas

    Natural gas burning on a gas stove Burning of natural gas coming out of the ground. Natural gas (also called fossil gas, methane gas, or simply gas) is a naturally occurring mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons consisting primarily of methane (95%) [1] in addition to various smaller amounts of other higher alkanes.

  5. Hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    Methane is the predominant component of natural gas. C 6 through C 10 alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic hydrocarbons are the main components of gasoline, naphtha, jet fuel, and specialized industrial solvent mixtures.

  7. Allocation (oil and gas) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allocation_(oil_and_gas)

    Component allocation: while the term product allocation is used to allocate the primary product groups like oil, gas or condensate ingredients (phase fractions) to a contributing well for instance, [14] component allocation breaks down and allocate individual alkane hydrocarbons like methane and ethane, to 3 isomers pentanes in a natural gas ...

  8. Stoichiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry

    Gas stoichiometry is the quantitative relationship (ratio) between reactants and products in a chemical reaction with reactions that produce gases. Gas stoichiometry applies when the gases produced are assumed to be ideal, and the temperature, pressure, and volume of the gases are all known. The ideal gas law is used for these calculations.

  9. Catalytic reforming - Wikipedia

    The process flow diagram below depicts a typical semi-regenerative catalytic reforming unit. Schematic diagram of a typical semi-regenerative catalytic reformer unit in a petroleum refinery. The liquid feed (at the bottom left in the diagram) is pumped up to the reaction pressure (5–45 atm) and is joined by a stream of hydrogen-rich recycle gas.
