What is correlation index in petroleum analysis ? How is it useful for classification of petroleum ?
For pure hydrocarbons,the normal paraffin series is given value of CI=0 and for benzene CI = 100. |
CI= 473.7d - 456.8 + 48,640/TK |
Where, TK for a petroleum fraction is the average boiling point (K) and ‘d’ is the specific gravity |
