Summary
-
1.
First we determined the contaminant particle size distribution of fuels from the optical information obtained from light scattering at 20 to 180° using the statistical regularization method.
-
2.
We developed experimental installations for obtaining information on the microstructure of fuels for particle size from 0.1 to 20 μm.
-
3.
We demonstrated the possibility of obtaining information on the kinetics of the formation, coagulation, and accumulation of solid-phase particles in fuels not under the influence of any discernible factors.
