“ Gasoline and Source Fuel
”
CHAPTER
I
Ø Preface
In everyday life people often use energy
sources as fuel among them: coal, gasoline, kerosene, diesel oil, diesel LPG,
wax and so on. These materials are obtained from petroleum.
Based on the theory, petroleum is formed from
the process of weathering microorganisms (microorganisms) buried underground
millions of years ago. Where two hundred million years ago the earth is hotter
than it is now. The sea inhabited by hard-skinned microorganisms is very much
in number if the microorganisms die, then decomposes so that the number is
increasingly accumulated, then covered by sediment, sediment from the river, or
rocks that come from the earth's shift. Here then there is decay by anaerobic
bacteria, and the consequences at high sediment pressure, then after millions
of years formed petroleum and natural gas

Ø Discussion
Gasoline contains chemical energy.
This heat energy increases the temperature and pressure of the gas in the
combustion chamber. The high pressure gas expands against the mechanics of the
machine. The expansion was changed by the link mechanism to rotate the
carnkshaft as the output of the machine. The carnkshaft is then connected to
the transmission system by a shaft for transmitting power or mechanical spin
energy. This energy is then used in accordance with the needs, for example to
drive the wheels of a motor or a car.
Simply put,
gasoline is composed of straight chain hydrocarbons with the chemical formula
CnH2n + 2, starting from C7 (heptana) to Cn. In other words, gasoline made from
hydrogen and carbon are tied together.
Different
long-sided hydrocarbon molecules have the same properties and behavior. CH4
(methane) is the most "lightweight" molecule, the increase of C atoms
in these chains gets heavier "heavy". The first four hydrocarbon
molecules are methane, ethane, propane and pbutane. At temperatures and
pressures, hold the gas with boiling points of -107o, -67o, -43o, and -18oC,
respectively. The next from C5 to C18 is liquid and starts from C19 upwards in
solid form.
In Indonesia
there are several types of gasoline fuel that has different quality values. The
value of the quality of fuel types sold by RON (octane reserch). Premium (RON
88) Premium is a clear yellow distillate oil type fuel. The color is due to the
presence of an additional dye (dye). Use, premium is used to fuel
gasoline-powered vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, and outboard motors. This
fuel is often called a gasoline or gasoline motor.
Pertamax (RON
92), Pertamax is intended for vehicles that require the use of unleaded
high-octane fuel (unleaded). Pertamax also for vehicles that are above 1990,
which has used technology equivalent to electronic fuel injection and xatalytic
converters.Pertamax Plus (RON 95), this type of fuel has a high octane rating
(95). Pertamax and Pertamax Plus are marketed since December 10, 2002. Pertamax
Plus is upgraded for state-of-the-art vehicles that require the use of
high-octane and environmentally friendly fuel. Pertamax Plus is very full for
vehicles that have a ratio greater than 10.5 and use electronic fuel injection
(EFI) technology, variable valve timing (VVT-I on Toyota, VVT on Suzuki, VTEC
on Honda and VANOS / Valvetronic on BMW) turbocharger, and catalic converter
For gasoline as a chemical term, see
Benzene. A jars filled with gasoline Petrol or Petrol (commonly referred to as
gasoline in the United States and Canada) is a clear, slightly yellowish
liquid, and derived from petroleum processing that is mostly used as fuel in
deep bottle engines. Gasoline can also be used as a solvent, mainly because of
its ability to dissolve the cat. Most of the gasoline is composed of aliphatic
hydrocarbons enriched with iso-octane or benzene for octane increments. Sometimes,
gasoline is also mixed with ethanol as an alternative fuel.
Now gasoline has
almost become the basic needs of the increasingly dynamic world society. Even
Americans use 1.36 billion liters of gasoline every day.

Ø Closing
The quality of a gasoline can be
affected by the octane value contained. The higher the octane rating, the
better the gasoline quality. The need for an octane rating of a vehicle varies,
depending on the compression ratio of the engine and other factors that affect
the need for the octane number.
Testing the need of vehicle octane number aims
to determine the octane number of a vehicle. By knowing the need of an octane
number of a vehicle, technically it can be determined the level of gasoline
octane number that will be used for the vehicle.
To increase the octane rating can be
done in several ways, for example by adding addictive substances to gasoline
such as TEL, Naphtalene, MTBE or by adding alicyclic / aromatic hydrocarbons to
the final mixture of gasoline fraction, and so on.
