Abstract:
A tester, systems and method for testing hydrocarbons are provided. The tester includes a test module supporting the component thereabout. The test module is operatively connectable to a fluid source to receive the hydrocarbon therefrom. A recirculation circuit is operatively connectable to the fluid circuit about the test module to recirculate the hydrocarbon thereabout whereby the hydrocarbon is passed over at least a portion of the component. The method involves passing the hydrocarbon over at least a portion of a plurality of the components, recirculating the hydrocarbon over the portion of each of the components, and performing a material test on each of the components.

Abstract:
High octane unleaded aviation fuel composition having high aromatics content and CHN content of at least 97.8 wt %, less than 2.2 wt % of oxygen content, a T10 of at most 75° C., T40 of at least 75° C., a T50 of at most 105° C., a T90 of at most 135° C., a final boiling point of less than 190° C., an adjusted heat of combustion of at least 43.5 MJ/kg, a vapor pressure in the range of 38 to 49 kPa is provided.
Abstract:
A fuel composition is provided that contains a major amount of a mixture of hydrocarbons in the gasoline boiling range and a minor amount of and (b) a minor amount of alpha-terpinene. Embodiments of the fuel composition increase the sensitivity of the fuel without significantly altering the octane number. Fuel sensitivity is increased by increasing the delta between RON and MON.
Abstract:
A composition is provided that contains a major amount of a hydrocarbon base fluid having a viscosity of up to 600 cST at 40° C. and (b) a minor amount of a micronized methyl cellulose having a particle size distribution on average of less than 30 microns. The compositions reduce and control the friction coefficient and anti-wear film of lubricant.
