Question: The specific gravity of gasoline is approximately 0.70. (a) Determine the mass (kg) of 50.00 liters of gasoline. (b) The mass flow rate of gasoline

The specific gravity of gasoline is approximately 0.70.

(a) Determine the mass (kg) of 50.00 liters of gasoline.

(b) The mass flow rate of gasoline exiting a refinery tank is 1150kg/min. Estimate the volumetric flow rate in liters/s.

(c) Estimate the average mass flow rate (lbm/min) delivered by a gasoline pump.

(d) Gasoline and kerosene (specific gravity = 0.82) are blended to obtain a mixture with a specific gravity of 0.78. Calculate the volumetric ratio (volume of gasoline/volume of kerosene) of the two compounds in the mixtures, assuming V blend = V gasoline + V kerosene.
