Prediction of the Settling of Every n-Alkane in Diesel by the Thermodynamic Model

Abstract: On the basis of the characteristic complicated composition of diesel, a state equation was applied to the description of the liquid phase, and regular solution theory was applied to the description of the solid phase for the sake of calculation of the compositions of the liquid and solid phases in equilibrium. For the first time, the non-n-alkane composition is regarded as a pseudocomponent. The thermodynamic model can successfully predict the solid appearance temperature which is close to the cloud point.

“…This is one of the reasons that the CFPP of diesel with 4 g of n-alkane is difficult to be reduced by adding DFI. 9 According to the discussion of sections 3.1 and 3.2, there is a relationship between n-alkane contents and the effects of DFIs. The effects of DFIs are excellent when they are used in those diesel fuels with moderate n-alkane content.…”
