Types of cracking
Thermal cracking
Catalyst cracking
Steam cracking
Thermal cracking is used to produce
Unsaturated hydrocarbons such as ethene and propene
Catalytic cracking produces
Gasoline
Steam cracking is used to produce
Lower unsaturated hydrocarbons
Properties of a fuel having octane number
Less knocking
Burns smoothly in combustion engine
Increase the efficiency of engine
Knocking order
Straight chain paraffins>branched chain paraffins>olefins>naphthalene>arenes
