Study on combustion characteristics of different compositions of LPG
Varieties of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are based on variety composition of propane and butane. The common composition of LPG contains 70% or 60% volume of butane and 30% or 40% volume of propane. However there have some variations of LPG composition as dictated by its usages and applications. Be...

Varieties of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are based on variety composition of propane and butane. The common composition of LPG contains 70% or 60% volume of butane and 30% or 40% volume of propane. However there have some variations of LPG composition as dictated by its usages and applications. Because of the different composition between propane and butane in LPG that used today, it can give different combustion characteristics of the LPG. The objective of this work is to study and analyze the combustion characteristic for different composition of LPG. The scope of this work is to analyze the energy that released which is commonly known as calorific value (CV), to determine the flame speed and to analyze the emission for different composition of LPG.
