Overview of Organic Compounds Nomenclature
Nomenclature of organic compounds involves assigning names based on two main systems - Trivial system and IUPAC system. Trivial system utilizes names related to discoverers or sources, often with Latin or Greek roots. Saturated hydrocarbons, known as paraffins, contain single bonds and are less reac

Understanding Synthetic Lubricants: Components and Manufacturing Process
Synthetic lubricants are formulated from small molecules to meet specific performance requirements. They offer advantages over mineral oils due to their tailored molecular structures. Components such as paraffins, iso-paraffins, naphthenes, and aromatics influence properties like pour point, tractio

Understanding Petroleum Hydrocarbons and Their Properties
Petroleum is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, including paraffins, olefins, naphthenes, and aromatics. Paraffins are fully saturated and stable, olefins are unsaturated with double bonds, naphthenes are cyclic saturated hydrocarbons, and aromatics are cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons containing ben
