Rl. Sharma et al., HYDROCARBON COMPOSITION OF STRAIGHT RUN MIDDLE DISTILLATE CORRELATED WITH DIESEL INDEX, INDIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY, 1, 1994, pp. 373-375
A Mathematical equation has been developed to predict the diesel index
of middle distillate from %C(p), %C(N) and %C(A) data derived from n-
d-m analysis. Regression coefficient of 0.96 with a standard deviation
of residuals of 0.42 shows that the suggested equation is statistical
ly satisfactory and is useful in assessing diesel index of distillate
fuels from hydrocarbon composition.
