National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Effect of Additives on the Storage Stability of High-Temperature Fuels.

AD454998

Publication Date	1964
Personal Author	Johnston, R. K.; Anderson, E. L.
Page Count	139
Abstract	A study was made of the use of additives to prevent or retard the deterioration of JP-6 fuel thermal stability during storage. Fuel-additive blends were stored at 130 F in sealed 15-gallon steel drums for periods up to 16 weeks. Thermal stability was measured by means of a modified fuel coker developed during this program, using helium pressurization instead of a fuel pump. The standard ASTM-CRC fuel coker and the EppiCRC modified fuel coker were found to be unsuitable for this purpose, owing to contamination of the test sections with pump wear debris. A total of 52 additives were submitted by industry for evaluation, from which 19 were selected by screening tests for inclusion in the hot-room storage program. Three JP-6 fuels were used as the base stocks for additive evaluation. Under storage conditions giving a 100 F decrease in base fuel thermal stability, four additives or combinations of additives were found to be effective in maintaining thermal stability. These results indicate that the use of additives is a feasible approach to solving current problems in this area. (Author)
