For optimum results, centrifugal purification of heavy fuel oil should be accomplished with the fuel at the lowest practicable _______________.

Athroughput
Badditive percent
CCetane number
DTBN number
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) throughput. Centrifugal purification of heavy fuel oil is more effective when the fuel is at the lowest practicable throughput. Throughput refers to the flow rate or volume of fuel passing through the centrifugal purifier. Lower throughput allows for better separation of contaminants and impurities from the fuel, resulting in optimal purification. The other options (additive percent, Cetane number, and TBN number) are not directly related to the performance of centrifugal purification of heavy fuel oil.
