   Solvents: Lighter fractions (e.g., mineral spirits derived from $\text{C}7$ to $\text{C}{12}$) are used as industrial degreasers.
   Fuels: Kerosene and diesel fuel are complex mixtures heavily reliant on $\text{C}{10}$ to $\text{C}{20}$ fractions.
   Lubricants: Highly purified, synthetic n-alkanes (polyalphaolefins) serve as high-performance base oils due to their predictable viscosity profiles and minimal tendency towards spontaneou…
