Effect of Anti-Knock Additives on the Chemical Stability of Automotive Gasolines

Аннотация

We have experimentally studied the effect of anti-knock additives on the tendency of gasolines to undergo oxidation and to form gums during blending and storage. We propose a statistical approach to estimating the significance of the effect of anti-knock additives on the chemical stability of gasolines, and have established regression models for the variation in chemical stability as a function of the anti-knock additive content in the gasolines.
