Future high-speed aircraft will be challenged to meet their onboard cooling requirements,
because of weight limitations and higher heating loads. Therefore, the fuel will be required …

The SMORS mechanism describing the formation of insoluble material in bulk jet fuel was
investigated using density functional and experimental techniques. The first part of the …

The author reviews the research studies that have been so far carried out and reported in
the literature on the stability of middle distillate fuels. The emphasis is mainly given to …

Liquid phase insoluble formation in fuels can cause performance and safety issues. To
understand the formation of insolubles in fuels from first principles, a series of density …

With mounting pressure to extract petroleum from oil sands and other unconventional
sources, oil refineries must adapt their processing methods to handle increasingly heavy …

The interactions between heteroatomic species and the hydrocarbons present in Jet A-1
make the determination of degradation mechanisms difficult to elucidate and predict. This …

Polar heteroatomic species have been correlated with storage instability problems in both
petroleum-and shale-derived middle distillate fuels. Instability is defined as the formation of …

The solids formed in the systems containing copper in different oxidation states, in the
presence and absence of hexanoic acid and dodecanethiol, together and separately, at …

The low-temperature oxidative stability of a fuel is determined by the potential for production
of peroxides, leading to the formation of oxygenated products, change in color, and …
