I think someone has
given you some incorrect information.
on page 14: Water, not being anywhere near as thick and heavy
as oil,
The specific gravity of these
crude oils is a little over 0.9, but less than 1.0,
which means that the oil is actually lighter than the
water.
Water is heavier than oil, even
these crude oils.
There are some oils with a
specific gravity greater than 1.0, but not these crude
oils.
Specific gravity is defined as
the ratio of the density of a material to the density of
water.
Therefore the specific gravity
of water is 1.0.
Things with specific gravity
less than 1 float on water, and those greater than 1
sink.
on page 19: 8. Once the oxygen to gas ratio reaches fourteen
percent, the "mix" in this part of the reserve becomes
volatile, and subject to exploding if and when it is ever
ignited. A mix of twenty one percent
oxygen to gas ratio causes that
particular gas chamber to become a genuine fully loaded
bomb of a magnitude that even most scientists cannot
imagine, that is just waiting to be ignited.
The LEL and UEL of natural gas
are about 5% and 15% in air, respectively.
LEL is the Lower Explosive Level
and UEL is the Upper Explosive Level.
However, air is only 21% oxygen
& 79% nitrogen.
The ratio of nitrogen to oxygen
would remain in the presence of another gas.
Therefore at that 5% LEL, there
would be 75% nitrogen and 20% oxygen.
At the 15% UEL would be 67%
nitrogen and 18% oxygen.
However, as written, a 21:1
ratio of oxygen to gas would be well below the LEL and
definitely not explosive.
And a ratio of oxygen to gas
greater than 21 times would even be farther below the
LEL.
Who ever gave you that
information, gave it to you incorrectly.
I'm sorry,
Gino
