The word " Kerosene " was registered as a trademark by Abraham Gesner in 1854, and for several years, only the North American Gas Light Company and the Downer Company ( to which Gesner had granted the right ) were allowed to call their lamp oil " Kerosene " in the United States.

Kerosene lamps consume an estimated 77 billion litres per year, equivalent to 1. 3 million barrels of oil per day.

Kerosene was also produced during the same period from oil shale and bitumen by heating the rock to extract the oil, which was then distilled.

Kerosene was also a fire risk ; in 1880, nearly two of every five New York City fires were caused by defective kerosene lamps.

Kerosene fuel also was pumped aboard just before launch.

** Propellants: LOX / Kerosene ( Thor kerosene propellant was referred to as ' RP1 ' by RAF users )

Since the density of the LOX ( liquid oxygen ) was higher than that of the Kerosene, extra pressure was available with the LOX, and it was to be used to cool the engine's throat and other components.

His first solo album, Kerosene Man, included a duet with Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde, backing work by bassist Fernando Saunders ( a frequent sideman of Lou Reed, to whom Wynn was often compared early in his career ), drummer D.

One of the tracks that he wrote during this period with David Lowery, " Sick of Goodbyes ", was recorded by Cracker and appeared on their 1993 album Kerosene Hat.

Kerosene was injected into the hot steam and oxygen exhaust products of catalytically decomposed hydrogen peroxide, resulting in spontaneous ignition.

Kerosene shale was mined at Mount Temi, some 11. 25 km to the north of Murrurundi from 1886, but lay dormant for many years.

Their first CD, Captive in the Room of the Conspirator, was recorded at Headquarters Studion in Berlin in spring 2000 and released that year on the ( now-defunct ) Kerosene Recordings label, featuring such songs as " The Solution ' which strongly advocated a vegan lifestyle and support for animal liberation and earth liberation.

Kerosene is used to fuel smaller-horsepower outboard motors built by Yamaha Motors, Suzuki Marine, and Tohatsu.

" Kerosene ", one of Atomizer < nowiki >'</ nowiki > s standout tracks, is viewed by both Azerrad and Allmusic's Andy Kellman as the band's peak performance.

Kerosene is also used extensively for home heating in portable heaters, especially farther north.

Kerosene is a combustible hydrocarbon liquid.

Kerosene is usually called paraffin in the UK, Southeast Asia and South Africa.

Kerosene is widely used to power jet engines of aircraft ( jet fuel ) and some rocket engines, but is also commonly used as a cooking and lighting fuel and for fire toys such as poi.

Kerosene lamps are widely used for lighting in rural areas of Asia and Africa where electrical distribution is not available or too costly for widespread use.

Kerosene in some jurisdictions such as the U. S. is legally required to be stored in a blue container to avoid it being confused with the much more flammable gasoline, which is typically kept in a red container.

Kerosene, a thin, clear liquid formed from hydrocarbons, with a density of 0. 78 – 0. 81 g / cm < sup > 3 </ sup >, is obtained from the fractional distillation of petroleum between 150 ° C and 275 ° C, resulting in a mixture of carbon chains that typically contain between six and 16 carbon atoms per molecule.

Major constituents of Kerosene include n-dodecane, alkyl benzenes, and naphthalene and its derivatives.

Kerosene is immiscible in water ( cold or hot ), but miscible in petroleum solvents.

He coined the name " Kerosene " for his fuel, a contraction of keroselaion, meaning wax-oil.

Kerosene is widely used in Japan as a home heating fuel for portable and installed kerosene heaters.

Kerosene is still often the fuel of choice for range cookers such as Rayburn.

Kerosene is sometimes used as an additive in diesel fuel to prevent gelling or waxing in cold temperatures.
