THE expression ‘fractional distillation’ inevit-ably recalls the name of Young to the older generation, but his book was written before the days when the art was of industrial significance and ...

IN his preface Prof. Young says that he wrote this book in the hope that the solution of the difficulties of fractional distillation might be rendered easier. He has written an eminently practical ...

Fractional distillation is the variation of this process that allows for crude oil to begin its process of refinement. This oil is a mixture of a variety of different elements, ...

IF YOU thought the Higgs boson was elusive, consider the case of dark matter. The Higgs—the particle that gives other subatomic species mass—was predicted in 1964 but actually nabbed only last ...

In this video, Fran Scott explains fractional distillation - the separation of crude oil into fractions. Crude oil is a finite resource; petrol and other fuels are produced from it using ...

Fractional distillation is rarely used anymore. Almost all fuel “refining” is done with Catalytic Crackers. Not unlike the catalytic converter in a car breaking down unburned gasoline, ...

Diesel and gasoline are the lifeblood of modern transportation, each playing a crucial role in powering our world. These fuels are derived from crude oil through fractional distillation, where ...
