RP-2 with three additives nov./dic. 2009 08/06/2010 ; 08/06/2010 5 p. ; 5523-5528 Transcripción del resumen del autor. The thermal decomposition of RP-2 with three potential stabilizing additives was investigated. The additives were 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (THQ), 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (tetralin), and the additive package that is used to make JP-8 + 100 (herein referred to as the "+100 additive"). For mixtures of RP-2 with THQ and tetralin, the concentration of additive was 5% by mass. The mixture of RP-2 with the +100 additive contained only 256 mg/L of the additive (the same concentration used to make JP-8+100). Decomposition reactions were performed at 375, 400, 425, and 450 °C in stainless steel reactors. At each temperature, the extent of decomposition as a function of time was determined by analyzing the thermally stressed liquid phase by gas chromatography. The results with each additive were compared to the decomposition of neat RP-2 under the same conditions. The addition of 5% THQ slowed the rate of decomposition by approximately an order of magnitude. The addition of 5% tetralin slowed the rate of decomposition by approximately 50%. At the low concentration tested, the +100 additive did not significantly change the thermal stability of the RP-2. 6 Energy & fuels 23 ARTICULO ddc 170785 170785 0 0 0 0 238604 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-05 200045639 0 200045639 2026-03-05 15:12:57 2026-03-05 ARTICULO
