Dielectric constant of E85?
Anyone here know the dielectric constant of E85?
Gasoline is about 2
E100 is about 24.3
What I don't know is if gasoline mixed with ethanol changes it's properties. If not, then I guess it's just a math equation and I suk@math.com

ethanol has a dielectric constant of around 24 at 25 degrees Celsius while gasoline has a dielectric constant of around 2 at the same temperature.

I'd check the math, if you have the equipment, or an ability to farm it out to a chem lab. Check your local college chem dept?

So, di-electric constant is: how easily the molecule becomes polarized, when exposed to an electrical field.
Water, obviously is highly polarize-able.
IE: The fact that the the two molecules (compounds? It's been a while since chem class) are mixed with each other should not effect how the two react to an electrical field.
So, we have a mixture of 15% gasoline, 85% ethanol. Thus, if he have 1 Liter of e85; we have 150ml of gasoline, and 850ml of ethanol, ASSuming there is no water (or other) contamination.
15% of your solution has a DC of 2, and the other 85% has one of 24.
But, we have to go into moles, to get an accurate percentage.

So, within a liter of E85, we have 17.413 moles of ethonal, and 6.5789 moles of gasoline.
17.413 moles, have a DC of 24.3
6.5789 moles, have a DC of 2.0
Total moles of out solution is approx. 23.992 moles. per liter. (molarity, is actually the term, Mr. PSI )
So: 17.413/23.992 = .726 or 72.6% is Ethonal, by mass
27.4% is gasoline, by mass.

Dielectric constants are given at a certain pressure and temperature, or at least that is my understanding. They don't behave in a linear fashion either. I believe in order to get an accurate answer you would need to test your material in the desired conditions.
What's your application that you have worries about?

Could make a simple parallel plate capacitor to test it. Charge it with nothing in between, calculate charge on cap, remove battery, put dielectric in between measure voltage. Would need to put a thin layer of insulation around the plates just in case though. Capacitance for parallel plate is ϵ A/d and Charge = V C. Although this is too much work and science
