General description
Kerosene is a medium petroleum fraction. It is widely used as a commercial fuel. Kerosene is a complex blend of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons with carbon numbers ranging from C9 – C16 . Flashpoint, distillation range, burning characteristics, sulfur content, color, and cloud point are some of the important characteristics of kerosene.
Application
Kerosene is used:
- As a fuel in the preparation of kerosene–alumina nanofluid.
- In the preparation of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) by an incomplete combustion method.
- In the synthesis of wrinkled graphene nanostructures by thermal decomposition followed by modified Hummers′ method.
Features and Benefits
Kerosene fuel is ideal for practical use due to its:
- High density
- High enthalpy
- Easy storage

Understanding how forces orchestrate tissue formation requires technologies to map internal tissue stress at cellular length scales. Here, we develop ultrasoft mechanosensors that visibly deform under less than 10 Pascals of cell-generated stress. By incorporating these mechanosensors into multicellular spheroids

Dermal exposure to military (JP-8) and/or commercial (Jet-A) jet fuel suppresses cell-mediated immune reactions. Immune regulatory cytokines and biological modifiers, including platelet activating factor (PAF), prostaglandin E(2), and interleukin-10, have been implicated in the pathway of events leading to immune
