| Description | Data concerning the properties of commercial jet fuels during the period between 1974 and 1979 are discussed. During this period the average aromatics content of fuels increased from 16% to 17.5%. It is evident that the arrival of Alaska North Slope crude in 1977 had a significant impact upon the aromatics content of jet fuel supply at West Coast points with less effect upon the entire United States domestic market. This increase in aromatics has not been accompanied by a corresponding reduction in burning quality as measured by smoke point. There has been a reduction of .6 smoke point on the average. Looking at hydrogen content as a measure of burning quality, the all refinery average calculated hydrogen for 1978 was approximately 13.7%. The relationship between hydrogen content and aromatics content shows a slope of .043% reduction in hydrogen for 1% increase in aromatics. |
