Effect of temperature on chemical stability of fuels

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

Summary

  1. 1.

    It has been established experimentally that the changes in acidity of gasolines, jet fuels, and diesel fuels during storage at temperatures of 20 to 50°C are subject to relationships that are characteristic for first-order reactions.

  2. 2.

    The average temperature coefficients of the oxidation rate constants for gasolines, jet fuels, and diesel fuels are all essentially the same within the range of temperatures investigated.

  3. 3.

    Feasibility has been demonstrated for the prediction of changes in fuel acidity on the basis of storage tests at elevated temperatures (40–60°C).
