Universal Fuel Requirements,
Abstract
To reduce the logistics problems of a mobile army, requirements for a fuel to operate satisfactorily in both diesel and turbine engines, in tropical as well as arctic climates, are suggested. The critical properties of fuels for turbine and diesel operation are examined. In the course of developing these suggested requirements, computer programs were formulated for blending hydrocarbon fractions with a base fuel to yield a f uel with desired properties for diesel and turbine operation. The effects of cetane improver and pour depressant additives on the characteristics of a 'universal fuel' are examined.
