The relationship among the boiling range, cetane number, smoke point, and other properties such as aromatics content, aniline point, and the sulfur and nitrogen content was also studied. The study reveals that when appropriate processes and distillation boiling ranges are selected, oilsands bitumen can produce diesel and jet fuels that meet stringent environmental regulations and future product specifications. New correlations to predict CN and smoke point were developed as a function of density, boiling ranges by simulated distillation, and mono- and total aromatics by supercritical fluid chromatography. The correlations apply to bitumen-derived middle distillates that have a wide range of boiling points.展开更多

Tannery diagrams were provided to visualize relationships among three main components (n-paraffins, iso-paraffins, cycloparaffins, or aromatics) with four major specification properties (density, flash point, freezing point, net heat of combustion) and thermal sta- bility. An optimum chemical composition was established to meet performance requirements: n-paraffins 25%-45%, iso-paraffins 15%-30%, cycloparaffins 30%-50%, and aromatics 5%. The thermal stability test on four fuel samples with and without optimal composition indicated that the thermal stabilities of fuel samples with optimal composition are higher than RP-3 jet fuel, and that the theoretical design method is a reliable method to screen the basic oil for the high thermal-stable jet fuel.展开更多

However, more oxygen and fuel gas are consumed to achieve excel- lent characteristics of coherent jets, which causes the increase in steelmaking cost. Computational fluid dynamics simulation and experimental measurement of the coherent jets with CH4 ＋ N2 mixed fuel gas were carried out aiming at reducing the consumption of fuel gas. The numerical simulation results showed good agreement with the experimental data. As a result, high proportion of N2 negatively affects the combustion of CH4, which is not good for the protection of oxygen jets. While the gas composition is 75% CH4 ＋ 25% N2, the N2 addition to the CH4 leads to an expanding of CH4 combustion zone, and the energy generated by the combustion reaction could be delivered to the molten bath more efficiently, which is one control scheme with high performance-price ratio.展开更多
