Determination of contaminant particle size in fuels and oils

  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 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. 2.

    We developed experimental installations for obtaining information on the microstructure of fuels for particle size from 0.1 to 20 μm.

  3. 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.
