🔍 Key Concepts

• Viscosity and how temperature affects the flow of heavy fuel oil • Purpose of centrifuging fuel before it enters the engine or storage • Relationship between temperature, density (specific gravity), and separation efficiency in a purifier or clarifier

💭 Think About

• Think about what property of heavy residual fuel makes it difficult to pump and separate at room temperature. • When you heat a thick liquid, what happens to its resistance to flow, and how does that help a centrifuge do its job? • Which option describes a change that actually improves the ability of the centrifuge to separate contaminants or water from the fuel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which fuel property most strongly affects flow and separability in a centrifugal purifier. • Check whether heating fuel significantly changes its specific gravity or mainly changes how easily it flows. • Confirm the primary operational reason engineers give for heating heavy fuel before treatment: improved pumpability and separation efficiency.
