Experiments were conducted using JP-8 jet fuel and thermal stability additives in a flowing system. The system, a three-part heat exchanger, simulated a complex thermal and flow environment and permitted the study of deposition under both laminar and turbulent for conditions. Two kinds of deposits were identified. The first kind forms in heated regions as the fuel is oxidized. The second type accumulates in cooled regions as certain oxidized compounds become less soluble at low temperatures. In addition, it was found that some in stability additives reduced fouling heated regions but not in cooled regions. To generalize the results, the deposition and oxidation measurements are used for the calibration of a numerical model which uses global reactions to simulate deposition in both heated and cooled regions.
