Conductivity of gasoline-ethanol-water mixtures

Abstract The conductivities of various gasoline-ethanol-water mixtures were determined at three different temperatures. The ethanol content ranged from 0 to 50% by volume and the water content from 0 to saturation. The temperatures studied were 0, 24 and 35 °C. Increasing ethanol and water concentrations increase conductivities. Temperature may increase or decrease conductivity depending on the composition of the electrolyte.
