Development Of An In-Situ Carbon Deposition Test For The Analysis Of Thermal Stress On Jet Fuel, Jeffrey Bruce Gomach Jan 2006

Development Of An In-Situ Carbon Deposition Test For The Analysis Of Thermal Stress On Jet Fuel, Jeffrey Bruce Gomach

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

As thermal demands placed on jet fuel increase, improved knowledge of fuel chemistry is needed for the development of better deposition mitigation techniques. A new tool is needed to examine deposition such as the in-situ carbon deposition test (ICDT) created in this work. Capabilities achieved for the ICDT include: in-situ oxidation and quantitation of deposits, low fuel volumes, and controlled residence time and extent of reaction. Fuels were thermally stressed in a Lindberg Furnace, and in-situ oxidation of deposition to CO2 was accomplished using the same furnace and a CuO oxidation catalyst. Oxidation of deposition was measured to be complete …
