Abstract The article deals with laboratory test method for jet fuels thermal stability testing. Author described the reasons that led to test rig preparation, its construction and operation principles. Innovative test rig for jet fuels thermal stability testing enables research in wide thermal conditions and different pressures. Testing capabilities and advantages compared with currently used standard test method of jet fuels thermal stability testing according to ASTM D3241 have been also presented

Investigation of oscillation of temperature and synthesis gas concentration inside spherical catalytic particle it is executed. Approximate distributions of temperature and concentrations in a particle with internal heat release and synthesis gas consumption are obtained. Stationary distributions of thermal and gaseous parameters are found. In the frame of small disturbances of temperature and concentrations thermal stability is investigated. It is revealed, that diffusion resistance synthesis gas inside a porous particle can lead to occurrence oscillation regime.

Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) jet fuel composition differs from petroleum-based, conventional commercial jet fuel because of differences in feedstock and production methodology. Fischer-Tropsch fuel typically has a lower aromatic and sulfur content and consists primarily of iso and normal parafins. The ASTM D3241 specification for Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation Test (JFTOT) break point testing method was used to test the breakpoint of a baseline commercial grade F-T jet fuel, and various blends of this F-T fuel with an aromatic solution. The goal of this research is to determine the effect of aromatic content on the thermal stability of Fischer-Tropsch fuel. The testing completed in this report was supported by the NASA Fundamental Aeronautics Subsonics Fixed Wing Project.
