Reorientation of Hydrocarbons Chains in Gasoline Fuels under Exposure to Static Magnetic Field: A Starting Point for Increasing Energy Efficiency of Motor Vehicles
Journal Title: Petroleum & Petrochemical Engineering Journal - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
We report the result that the reorientation of hydrocarbons chain in gasoline fuel is induced by an applied static magnetic field. Indeed, 1 h 30 min exposure of samples of gasoline fuel to a 150 mT static magnetic field provided the result that CH2 bending vibration around 1465 cm-1, CH3 symmetrical band at 1378 cm-1 and C–C stretching at 1610 cm-1 decreased significantly, whereas CH2 twisting band around 1230 cm-1 increased significantly after exposure. These findings demonstrated that a reorientation of hydrocarbons chains occurs under an applied magnetic field. This relevant result can be used to increase the energy efficiency of motor vehicles.
