  Heptane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heptane (also known as dipropyl methane, gettysolve-C or heptyl hydride) is an alkane with the chemical formula H
Its choice for the zero point of the scale was due to the availability of very high purity n-heptane, unmixed with other isomers of heptane or other alkanes, distilled from the resin of Jeffrey pine.
Other sources of heptane and octane, produced from crude oil, contain a mixture of different isomers with greatly differing ratings, so do not give a precise zero point.

 Heptane
Heptane is a colorless, flammable liquid with a mild, gasoline-like odor.
Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to heptane, a licensed health care professional should evaluate and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical, environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational risks.
Heptane should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly sealed containers that are labeled in accordance with OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard [29 CFR 1910.1200].

It is also a fact that the next fuel up from heptane, which is octane, is the fuel used by dragsters and other high performance cars due to its high volatility and ability to burn very rapidly and produce a lot of power or energy.
I think that hexane and heptane will burn too quickly to have much effect on the water and I think that methanol and ethanol will not be the best due to their low energy outputs.
Although heptane burns for the longest and per mole heats the water the most effectively in reality pentane is a far superior heating fuel.

 SuperchargersOnline.com :: The Mystery of 'Octane' Finally Uncovered
Heptane, a hydrocarbon with seven carbon atoms, compresses very poorly and spontaneously combusts even under small amounts of compression.
For this reason, Heptane (which has an octane rating of zero) is the other benchmark fuel used in the octane rating system to determine a fuel's octane rating.
This is not to say that 87 octane gasoline is made up of 87% octane and 13% heptane, rather that the 87 octane gasoline "knocks" in a laboratory knock engine at the same compression ratio as a fuel composed of 87% octane and 13% heptane.

 2.3 Heptane's execution
Heptane uses an external tool, Salto, for the assembly analysis.
The method used must be retargetable, that is, Heptane must not be dependent from one external computation tool.
Of course, the result must be written in a particular dialect, or transformed by another XSLT sheet, so that Heptane is still independant from the external tool.

 octane number. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
The octane number of a sample of fuel is determined by burning the gasoline in an engine under controlled conditions, e.g., of spark timing, compression, engine speed, and load, until a standard level of knock occurs.
The engine is next operated on a fuel blended from a form of isooctane that is very resistant to knocking and a form of heptane that knocks very easily.
When a blend is found that duplicates the knocking intensity of the sample under test, the percentage of isooctane by volume in the blended sample is taken as the octane number of the fuel.

The word hydrophobic literally means "fear of water" and appears to have been provoked by the immiscibility of a dispersive solvent such as n-heptane with a very polar solvent such as water.
However, n-heptane and water are immiscible, not because water molecules repel heptane molecules but because the forces between heptane molecules and the forces between water molecules are much greater than the forces between a heptane molecule and a water molecule.
n-heptane and water are immiscible, not because water molecules repel heptane molecules, they are immiscible because the forces between two heptane molecules and the forces between two water molecules are much greater than the forces between a heptane molecule and a water molecule.

 Octane Information And Calculator
Octane numbers are based on a scale on which isooctane is 100 (minimal knock) and heptane is 0 (bad knock).
The octane number is determined by comparing the characteristics of a gasoline to isooctane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane) and heptane.
On the other hand, heptane is given an octane rating of zero.

Pentane, hexane and heptane differ only in the length of their carbon chain, and have the same type of intermolecular forces, namely dispersion forces.
Pentane, the smallest of the three, is injected (into the open end of the barometer, it rises to the top) and vaporizes.
When heptane, the biggest of the three, is injected, the heptane rises to the top and vaporizes.

 Effects of Asphaltene Aggregation in Model Heptane–Toluene Mixtures on Stability of Water-in-Oil Emulsions
As part of an ongoing investigation into the stability of water-in-crude oil emulsions, model oils have been utilized to further probe the effects of crude solvency as well as specific resin–asphaltene interactions on emulsion stability.
These model oils were constructed by dissolving varying amounts of resins and/or asphaltenes in a mixture of heptane and toluene.
Asphaltenes dissolved in heptol at concentrations of just 0.5% were shown to generate emulsions which were even more stable than those generated from their respective whole crude oils.
