An improved reference fuel system: Part 2 - A study of adherent and filterable insolubles formation as functions of trimethylpyrrole concentration in dodecane
- Naval Surface Warfare Center, Annapolis, MD (United States)
At the 4th International Conference on the Stability and Handling of Liquid Fuels, a trimethylpyrrole (TMP)/dodecane reference fuel system for use with ASTM Test Method D2274 was presented. It was concluded that the TMP/dodecane system would have sufficient reproducibility of total insolubles values to serve as a reference fuel system. In this paper, the filterable and adherent insolubles from the same data base are examined. Like the total insolubles, the FY 91 results for both adherent and filterable were less scattered than the FY 90 data. Both adherent and filterable insolubles were found to be adequately and filterable insolubles were found to be adequately represented as linear functions of the initial TMP concentration. Further, the data support a hypothesis that filterable insolubles do not form in the 16 hours of stress unless the initial TMP concentration is greater than about 25 mg/100 mL. A plot of the FY 91 ratio of adherent insolubles to filterable insolubles as a function of the initial TMP concentration approaches 0.6 at TMP concentrations in excess of 75 mg/100 mL.
