Detailed knowledge of the thermal stability and pyrolytic degradation of jet fuels will play an important role in the design of advanced hypersonic (mach 5-8) aircraft systems making use of an endothermic reaction of the fuel prior to combustion (1). However, after decades of study fundamental processes leading to deposition of solid materials on fuel system components and thermal decomposition of fuels are not fully understood, largely due to the complexity of the processes involved which include fuel degradation chemistry, heat transfer and fluid mechanics.
Therefore, in our laboratory, new systems for pyrolytic degradation studies of jet fuels have been developed based on microscale laboratory reactors for the gas phase and liquid phase pyrolysis coupled directly to a doubly "hyphenated" analytical system consisting of a Hewlett-Packard has chromatograph/mass spectrometer/infrared spectrometer (GC/MS/IR) combination.
