Pick out the wrong statement?
AHigher specific gravity of petrofuels means higher C/H ratio
BGross calorific value (GCV) of petrofuels is equal to (12400 – 2100 ρ2) where, ρ is the specific gravity of the fuel at 15.5°C
CAromatics have higher specific gravity than paraffins
DHeavier petrofuels have higher GCV on weight basis (i.e., Kcal/kg) but lower GCV on volume basis (i.e., Kcal/litre)
Correct answer
D. Heavier petrofuels have higher GCV on weight basis (i.e., Kcal/kg) but lower GCV on volume basis (i.e., Kcal/litre)
Explanation
The correct answer is Heavier petrofuels have higher GCV on weight basis (i.e., Kcal/kg) but lower GCV on volume basis (i.e., Kcal/litre).
