Product Description

The aviation fuel used in the engines of jet airplanes is kerosene (Option (C)). Kerosene it is also called paraffin or paraffin oil it is actually flammable hydrocarbon liquid commonly used as a fuel.
Jet fuel is a mixture of a variety of hydrocarbons. Because the exact composition of jet fuel varies widely based on petroleum source, it is impossible to define jet fuel as a ratio of specific hydrocarbons. Jet fuel is therefore defined as a performance specification rather than a chemical compound. Furthermore, the range of molecular mass between hydrocarbons (or different carbon numbers) is defined by the requirements for the product, such as the freezing point or smoke point. Kerosene-type jet fuel (including Jet A and Jet A*1, JP*5, and JP*8) has a carbon number distribution between about 8 and *6 (carbon atoms per molecule); wide-cut or naphtha-type jet fuel (including Jet B and JP*4), between about 5 and *5.
