Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understanding the terms.
- The pour point is the lowest temperature at which a liquid, like fuel, will flow when cooled.
- The cloud point is the temperature at which wax crystals form in a fuel.
- The flash point is the lowest temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapor to form an ignitable mixture.
- The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid boils and turns to gas.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Hence, the correct answer is option (A), as the pour point is the lowest temperature at which the fuel ceases to flow. Final Answer: \[ \boxed{(A)} \]

Top Questions on Diffusion effects
- A mixture of Nitrogen (N\(_2\)) and Helium (He) gases is contained in a pipe at 1.0 atm pressure and at 298 K. At one point in the pipe, the partial pressure of N\(_2\) is 60.80 kPa and at a point 0.22 m apart, the partial pressure of N\(_2\) is 20.31 kPa. The diffusion coefficient of the mixture is \(0.612 \times 10^{-4}\) m\(^2\).s\(^{-1}\). Considering Universal gas constant as 8314 m\(^3\).Pa.kg mol\(^{-1}\).K\(^{-1}\), the steady-state flux of N\(_2\) is \(n \times 10^{-6}\) kg mol.s\(^{-1}\).m\(^{-2}\). The value of \(n\) is _________ (Rounded off to 2 decimal places)

Select the option with the correct sequence of articles to fill in the blanks.- In an inoculated pack study, 0.5 kg peas per can are thermally processed at 121 °C. One group of cans contains Clostridium spp. spores with an initial spore level of \( 5 \times 10^{10} \) per can. Another group of cans contains Bacillus spp. spores. It is desired to have spoilage probability of 5 in 100 cans after thermal processing. The decimal reduction time of Clostridium spp. and Bacillus spp. at 121 °C are 2.5 minutes and 6.0 minutes, respectively. If all the cans receive the same lethality, the initial number of spores of Bacillus spp. per g of peas is __________ (Answer in integer)
