Direct Measurement of Trace Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Diesel Fuel with 1H and 13C NMR Spectroscopy: Effect of PAH Content on Fuel Lubricity

June 17, 2015
Author(s)
Peter Y. Hsieh, Jason A. Widegren, Andrew Slifka, Andrew J. Hagen, Ronald A. Rorrer
Surface-active trace compounds present in diesel fuels protect pumps and injectors against premature wear through boundary lubrication. Due to the vast number of hydrocarbon compounds found in petroleum distillate fuels, it is difficult to measure the

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of 1,3,5-Triisopropylcyclohexane

May 29, 2013
Author(s)
Raina V. Gough, Jason A. Widegren, Thomas J. Bruno
Recent surrogate diesel fuel mixture development identified the need for a multiply-substituted, low cetane number, high molecular mass monocycloalkane component. On the basis of a thermophysical property evaluation and prediction, 1,3,5

Chemical and Thermophysical Characterization of 1,3,5-triisopropylcyclohexane

July 17, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Tara J. Fortin, Tara M. Lovestead, Jason A. Widegren
The complex nature of finished fuels makes definitive studies on composition and combustion properties very difficult and uncertain. This has led to the adoption of fuel surrogate mixtures in such studies. The development of a surrogate mixture is itself a
