Advanced thermally stable jet fuels. Technical progress report, August 1992--October 1992

“…[Roquemore et al, 1989;Hazlett, 1991;Song et al, 1993aSong et al, , 1993b. In studying the pyrolytic degradation of jet fuels, it occurred to us that hydrogen-transfer from H-donors, such as those present in coal-derived JP-8C jet fuel, could play an important role in suppressing thermal decomposition of hydrocarbon components and solid formation [Song et al, 1991a[Song et al, , 1991b[Song et al, , 1992a[Song et al, , 1992b[Song et al, , 1993a lt should be noted that the experimental conditions used in this work are such that they are close to the severity of the anticipated high-temperature thermal environment of jet fuel in the future high-Mach aircraft under consideration [Song et al, 1993a]. • Tables designated by letters rather than numbers are located in Appendix A-2.…”
