This is the second report, summarizing test results of aviation fuels received in calendar year 199? with comparison statistics from calendar year 1995 and 1996. Data is stored in our Petroleum Quality Information System (PQlS) Database which currently contains 4,385 records, representing just under 6.8 billion gallons of product, starting from January 1, 1995. Many DESC personnel contributed to its development, maintenance and data entry functions. Special thanks go to the field offices of DCMD and DCMDl for their response in providing information for shipments that were missing from the database. The result of this effort was an increase by almost 1/2 billion gallons of jet fuel represented in the report. The JP4 representation increased to 100% for both 1996 and 1997. For 1996, JP5 representation increased from 24% in the 1990-1996 Report, to 87% in this Report. JP8 representation also increased from 57% to 81% for calendar year 1996.

This first report is a compilation of data which are representative of the quality of jet fuels (JP4, JP5, and JP8) purchased by the Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) worldwide. This information was obtained from our Petroleum Quality Information System (PQIS), an automated system which contains product quality history. This database contains over 6000 records of aviation fuel deliveries, which represents 8.5 billion gallons of product. The data contained in this report are summarized to provide statistical information on average, minimum and maximum values of selected test properties for use by our customers in researching specification or quality issues. Although this report covers seven years of quality history, future reports will be published on an annual basis.

The last three chapters of this book deal with application of methods presented in previous chapters to estimate various thermodynamic, physical, and transport properties of petroleum fractions. In this chapter, various methods for prediction of physical and thermodynamic properties of pure hydrocarbons and their mixtures, petroleum fractions, crude oils, natural gases, and reservoir fluids are presented. As it was discussed in Chapters 5 and 6, properties of gases may be estimated more accurately than properties of liquids. Theoretical methods of Chapters 5 and 6 for estimation of thermophysical properties generally can be applied to both liquids and gases; however, more accurate properties can be predicted through empirical correlations particularly developed for liquids. When these correlations are developed with some theoretical basis, they are more accurate and have wider range of applications. In this chapter some of these semitheoretical correlations are presented. Methods presented in Chapters 5 and 6 can be used to estimate properties such as density, enthalpy, heat capacity, heat of vaporization, and vapor pressure. Characterization methods of Chapters 2-4 are used to determine the input parameters needed for various predictive methods. One important part of this chapter is prediction of vapor pressure that is needed for vapor-liquid equilibrium calculations of Chapter 9.

Currently serving as a resource for the National Center for Toxological Research in their work with the Gulf Coast oil spill, this book presents current research conducted primarily by the airforce on the toxic effects of JP-8 jet fuel on the pulmonary, immune, dermal, and nervous systems. In all, the book considers 13 toxicology studies

The reduction of the fire hazard of fuel is critical to improving survivability in impact-survivable aircraft accidents. Despite current fire prevention and mitigation approaches, fuel flammability can overwhelm post-crash fire scenarios. The Workshop on Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety was held November 19-20, 1996 to review the current state of development, technological needs, and promising technology for the future development of aviation fuels that are most resistant to ignition during a crash. This book contains a summary of workshop discussions and 11 presented papers in the areas of fuel and additive technologies, aircraft fuel system requirements, and the characterization of fuel fires.
