Characteristics of jet fuels produced from hydrogenated shale oils

“…The distillation temperatures and the volume percent recovery of the shale oil jet fuel cuts are comparable to the standard petroleum jet fuel specifications ( Table 5). The results closely agree with the studies of Shelton (1979) who obtained a maximum boiling point of 195°C for 10 volume percent and 255°C for 90 volume percent recovery of a petroleum jet fuel. Wasilk and Robinson, (1981) have reported that the untreated Paraho jet fuel JP-5 produced in a pilot plant to obtain military specification jet fuel shows a maximum boiling point of 193°C for 10 volume percent recovery.…”

Development and application of procedures to evaluate air quality and visibility impacts of low-altitude flying operations

“…The U.S. Forest Service (Dumbauld et al 1980) and later the U.S. Army (Bjorklund et al undated;Geary 1988) and fuel sulfur data (Shelton 1976), the emissions database is sufficient for impact assessment of most Air Force aircraft. For scenarios involving a mixture of Air Force and Navy aircraft, the above data sources can be supplemented with a computerized emissions database recently developed for the Naval Air Propulsion Center by Northern…”

“…The aircraft engine emissions data were drawn primarily from Seitchek (1985), but were supplemented with data from other sources (EPA 1985;Shelton 1976;Platt et al 1988). …”

“…The SO, emissions rates for all aircraft engines were calculated based on a fuel sulfur content of 0.05%, which is on the high end of the numerous aviation fuel test results reported by Shelton (1976). The aircraft engine emissions data were multiplied by the number of engines for each aircraft type to generate total emission rates for each aircraft, which were then entered into a file associated with the ORNL airspace database.…”
