A simple numerical routine computes the normal boiling point of light and heavy petroleum fractions as a function of kinematic viscosities at 100° F. and 210° F. and specific gravity at 60° F.
The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor. The boiling point of a ...
