主 题:Cloud point Pour point Diesel fuel Cold flow properties Wax
摘 要:An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of four different additives on pour point and cloud point temperatures of a diesel *** mixtures were prepared in different volumetric percentages of four different additives(Ethanol,Toluene,n-Heptane and Xylene)and diesel fuel *** point and cloud point temperatures of the blends were measured using standard ASTM D2500 and ASTM D97-96a methods,*** the additives to the diesel fuel did not lead to a significant reduction in cloud point temperature of the *** fact,the greatest obtained reduction in cloud point temperature was achieved using 20 vol%or more of Toluene-diesel fuel *** cloud points did not change significantly,even the slightest amounts of additives caused a high reduction in the pour point temperature of the *** was the most effective additive in lowering the pour point temperature of the fuel.A 20%ethanol-fuel mixture caused nearly a 30reduction in the fuel pour point ***,knowing that none of the additives has a significant effect on cloud point temperature,while the greatest reduction in pour point temperature is achieved using ethanol even in low Vol%s,it can be concluded that the most efficient additive among these four additives to alter cold flow properties of a certain diesel fuel is Ethanol.
