Abstract
While 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline and benzyl alcohol are fine high-tem perature (>400 degrees C) thermal stabilizers that efficiently inhibit the thermal degradation of dodecane, jet fuels, and similar hydrocarb on mixtures, kinetic studies reveal that the rate of dodecane degradat ion in the mixtures is a very strong function of temperature above 400 degrees C. In fact, we conclude that it will be extremely difficult t o adequately stabilize hydrocarbon fuels using hydrogen donors at temp erature much above 500 degrees C.
