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

Thermodynamic, Transport, and Chemical Properties of Reference JP-8

July 14, 2010
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Marcia L. Huber, Arno R. Laesecke, Eric W. Lemmon, Mark O. McLinden, Stephanie L. Outcalt, Richard A. Perkins, Beverly L. Smith, Jason A. Widegren
This report contains a summary of research conducted to develop a standard or accepted set of thermophysical properties for the aviation kerosene, JP-8. This report is the culmination of a three year effort that included the participation of most of the

Thermal Decomposition of RP-2 with Stabilizing Additives

May 7, 2010
Author(s)
Jason A. Widegren, Thomas J. Bruno
The thermal decomposition of RP-2 and mixtures of RP-2 with four different additives has been investigated. The mixtures with RP-2 contained one of the following: 5 % /trans/-decahydronaphthalene (decalin); 5 % 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (tetralin); 5 %

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of Propylcyclohexane

January 21, 2009
Author(s)
Jason A. Widegren, Thomas J. Bruno
As part of a large-scale thermophysical property measurement project, the decomposition kinetics of propylcyclohexane was investigated. Decomposition reactions were performed at 375, 400, 425, and 450 °C in stainless steel ampoule reactors. At each

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of the Aviation Turbine Fuel Jet-A

July 2, 2008
Author(s)
Jason A. Widegren, Thomas J. Bruno
As part of a larger-scale thermophysical and transport property measurement project, the global decomposition kinetics of the aviation turbine fuel Jet-A was investigated. Decomposition reactions were performed at 375, 400, 425, and 450 °C in stainless
