Chemical characterization of petroleum is a challenging task due to its inherently complex
nature. For example, crude oil is believed to have as many or more compounds than the …

The fuel certification process is a necessary step for all aviation fuels before deployment.
This approval process is composed of multiple fuel physiochemical properties (eg, density …

Sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) must demonstrate specific physical and chemical
properties as well as material compatibility (ie, seal swell) to be used as aviation turbine …

252 literature sources and about 5000 crude oil assays were reviewed in this work. The
review has shown that the petroleum characterization can be classified in three categories …

The amount of polyolefin waste, which is 63% of the total plastic waste, has grown
exponentially over the past six decades. Its degradation products pose a serious threat to …

Aviation jet fuels contain over a thousand different hydrocarbons, making the prediction of
their properties from chemical composition difficult. The density of a jet fuel at 15° C is …

The method presented in this research allows the development of detailed chemical
composition of hydrocarbon mixtures (petroleum and non-petroleum based) in the range of …

This work focuses on the influence of adding various cyclohexanes on the volumetric and
gravimetric energy content, density, and kinematic viscosity of Jet A. Mixtures of Jet-A and …

Increasingly stringent requirements for aerospace propulsion system performance,
reliability, and operability motivate quantitative connections between fuel composition …

One challenge in the deployment of alternative aviation fuels is the lengthy “fuel approval
process”, which costs millions of dollars and can take many years as the exact effect of these …
