Chapter 7, Problem 89E
Some automobiles and buses have been equipped to bum propane (C3H8). Compare the amounts of energy that can be obtained per gram of C3H8(g) and per gram of gasoline, assuming that gasoline is pure octane, C8H18(l). (See Example 7-11.) Look up the boiling point of propane. What disadvantages are there to using propane instead of gasoline as a fuel?
