Graphical correlation calculates diesel properties from known values

A graphical correlation has been developed between pour point, density, n-alkane content, and volume composition of diesel oil blends made from 4 distillate fractions. From the value of any 2 of these parameters, the remaining 2 properties, except volume composition, can be estimated with good preci...

Description
Summary:A graphical correlation has been developed between pour point, density, n-alkane content, and volume composition of diesel oil blends made from 4 distillate fractions. From the value of any 2 of these parameters, the remaining 2 properties, except volume composition, can be estimated with good precision. For determining the volume composition of the blend, all 3 physical properties must be known. Although the developed nomograph is quantitatively valid for particular streams derived from Bombay High crude, similar nomographs could be developed for other crude oil fractions as well.
