General description
Kerosene is a medium petroleum fraction. It is widely used as a commercial fuel. Kerosene is a complex blend of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons with carbon numbers ranging from C9 – C16 . Flashpoint, distillation range, burning characteristics, sulfur content, color, and cloud point are some of the important characteristics of kerosene.
Application
Kerosene is used:
- As a fuel in the preparation of kerosene–alumina nanofluid.
- In the preparation of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) by an incomplete combustion method.
- In the synthesis of wrinkled graphene nanostructures by thermal decomposition followed by modified Hummers′ method.
Features and Benefits
Kerosene fuel is ideal for practical use due to its:
- High density
- High enthalpy
- Easy storage

Jet A and JP-8 are the major jet fuels used in civilian and military (US Air Force) flights, respectively. JP-8+100 is a new jet fuel recently introduced by US Air Force in some of its locations. The purpose of this

The toxicity of jet fuels was measured using noninvasive magnetic resonance microimaging (MRM) at 900-MHz magnetic field. The hypothesis was that MRM can visualize and measure the epidermis exfoliation and hair follicle size of rat skin tissue due to toxic

We report on the particulate-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in the exhaust of a test-bed gas turbine engine when powered by Jet A-1 aviation fuel and a number of alternative fuels: Sasol fully synthetic jet fuel (FSJF), Shell gas-to-liquid (GTL)

Dermal absorption of JP-8 jet fuel can lead to skin irritation within hours after exposure. This study detected the formation of oxidative species and low-molecular-weight DNA in rat skin as potential indicators of JP-8-induced skin injury. At 0, 1, 2

Understanding how forces orchestrate tissue formation requires technologies to map internal tissue stress at cellular length scales. Here, we develop ultrasoft mechanosensors that visibly deform under less than 10 Pascals of cell-generated stress. By incorporating these mechanosensors into multicellular spheroids
