Fuel Stabilization.

Abstract

The primary objectives of Delivery Order 0001 were threefold. The first was a fundamental study of high-temperature fuel stabilization performed to assess the practical temperature limits of hydrogen-donor stabilization. The second was an experimental study carried out to determine whether superior hydrogen-donor stabilizers could be designed and synthesized. The third was a study performed to determine the vulnerability of high-temperature hydrogen-donor stabilizers to oxidative degradation in the autoxidative temperature regime. Delivery Order 0001 consisted of three tasks: Fundamentals of High-Temperature Stability, Design of Superior Stabilizers, and Low-Temperature Oxidation Resistance of Thermal Stabilizers. The results are presented in Sections 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0, respectively; Section 5.0 contains references.
