Studies of jet fuel thermal stability and oxidation using a quartz crystal microbalance and pressure measurements

摘要: The thermal stability of aircraft jet fuels was measured in real time with a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) at 140 C. Qualitative data on the oxidation these also obtained by monitoring system pressure during stressing. operated relatively low oxygen availability (1 atm air) which more closely approximates flowing fuel tests and systems than previous work. high sensitivity good reproducibility QCM permitted deposition measurements under unaccelerated conditions (i.e., temperature availability). Correlation behavior provided insight into processes.
