Storage Stability of High Temperature Fuels. Part Ii. The Effect of Storage Upon Thermally Induced Deposition of Labeled Fuel Components

摘要

This investigation is concerned with the contribution of selected components and additives of high-temperature aircraft fuels to thermally induced deposits before and after 52 weeks storage at 130F. Of particular concern is the influence of these fuel constituents on thermal-stability quality of these jet fuels during storage. The study utilizes a micro fuel coker test apparatus to measure the thermal-stability of test fuels and blends. The contribution of selected fuel components, labeled with carbon-14, to deposit-forming mechanisms is determined by radioactive counting techniques. (Author)
