| Authors | |
| Abstract | The heating value of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is an important characteristic implying LPG fuel-quality. Nevertheless, the quantitative and detail study on the heating value of LPG is still in high scarcity. Hence, the heating value of LPG is analyzed extensively in the present study. A combustion reactor simulated employing Aspen-Hysys simulator is used to determine the heating value. The separate effects of the presences of additives or foreign components (e.g., ethane, hydrogen sulfide, moisture, and mercaptan), the proportion of primary LPG components (e.g., propane and butane), and the combustion temperature and pressure on the heating value of LPG are studied. Explanations of the observed effects are also provided. The present study would help the researchers, manufacturers, bottlers, and distributors of LPG immensely. |
