Octane  & Cetane  Numbers How they are related to fuel available commertially. Presented by –  Ajit Thorat
Octane and Cetane number of fuel Fuel Research Octane Number (ROM) Motor Octane Number (MON) Cetane number Boiling point (ºC) Gasoline 92-98 80-90 0-5 37-205 Diesel -25 - 45-55 140-360 Methanol 106 92 5 65 Ethanol 107 89 5 79 Propane (LPG) 112 97 -2 -42.15 Methane (CNG) 120 120 0 -161.6
OCTANE NUMBER AND CETANE NUMBER  Cetane number (diesel fuel) and octane number (gasoline) both measure the tendency of the fuel to ignite spontaneously. The cetane number refers to the eace with which desel fuel ignites easily at a relatively low temperature.
