Question

Your ship has loaded 9,000 barrels of fuel oil at a cargo temperature of 35° C (95° F). API gravity is 44°. The volume correction factor (VCF) is .0005. You are bound to New Jersey from Venezuela. How many barrels would you expect to unload if the cargo temperature is 55° F at the discharge port?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 820 barrels

Explanation:

Data:

The number of barrels loaded = 9 000

cargo temperature                    = 35 °C

API                                              = 44 ° C

Barrels when the cargo temperature is 55° F from the determination = 8 820 barrels.
