Abstract
A fuel or fuel blendstock for jet, gas turbine, rocket, and diesel engines, particularly jet, rocket, and diesel engines that utilizes components of conventional petroleum not currently utilized for jet, gas turbine, rocket, and diesel fuels, such as benzene, linear, and lightly branched alkanes, that may be alkylated with aromatic moieties to make monoaromatics for use in jet and diesel fuels. Additionally, a fuel having such monoaromatics having multiple desired properties such as higher flash point, low pour point, increased density, better lubricity, aerobic degradability, reduction in toxicity, and additionally can deliver benefits in blendstocks.
Claims12
A fuel composition for use in jets, gas turbines, rockets, or diesel engines comprising:
- (a) from about 5% to about 99% by weight of the fuel composition of formula
- wherein the A moiety is selected from benzene, cyclohexane, and mixtures thereof, such that the A moiety is non-terminally attached to the L moiety and further such that the A moiety is directly connected to the L moiety;
- R′ is selected from hydrogen and C1 to C3 alkyl;
- R″ is selected from hydrogen and C1 to C3 alkyl;
- wherein both of R′ and R″ are nonterminally attached to the L moiety;
- the L moiety is a linear acyclic aliphatic hydrocarbyl such that the sum of carbons in the L moiety, R′, and R″ is from 5 to 25 carbons;
- (b) at least about 0.01% of fuel additives;
- and
- (c) from 0% to about 90% of conventional jet, gas turbine, rocket or diesel blendstocks.
