Abstract
Chemical engineers have modified the physical and chemical properties of aviation turbine fuels by diluting the base fuel with hydrocarbon blending stocks. Programmed temperature gas chromatography on a fused silica capillary column was utilized to determine the concentrations of three hydrocarbon blending stocks in JP-4 jet fuel. For JP-4 turbine fuel, the analysis is relatively fast (20 min) yet demonstrates excellent accuracy and precision. A general procedure is also described that is applicable to both simple and complex solutions of several blending stocks in mixes of different base fuels.Keywords
