|
 | An investigation of the effects of nitrogen compounds on sediment formation during fuel storage was carried out using model fuel systems. Various weak to non-basic nitrogen compounds, especially alkyl pyrroles and indoles were found to promote sediment formation; basic nitrogen compounds such as most amines did not. The sediment formation was strongly catalyzed by light and carboxylic acids. Phenols and aromatic thiols retard sedimentation. Sulfides and aliphatic thiols had little ... |

|
| Radiative initiation and enhancement of combustion in unsensitized fuel-air mixtures via the photodissociation of oxygen molecules and combustion intermediary species is being investigated. Pulsed VUV (vacuum ultraviolet) light sources and continuous UV (ultraviolet) light sources are being used for this purpose. Experimental efforts are directed at elucidation of light source conversion efficiency and spectral characteristics, and reactant mixture-photon interactions. A complimentary effort involves the development of analytical capability required for ... |

| An investigation of the effects of nitrogen compounds on sediment formation was initiated. Several different nitrogen compounds were studied including 2,5-dimethylpyrrole, indole, carbazole and a number of aromatic and aliphatic amines. The diluent employed was purified n-decane. All of the compounds caused darkening of the fuel although appreciable amounts of sediment were formed only with the pyrrole derivatives. The sediment formation was found to be strongly catalyzed by light and ... |

 | 4-Amino-1,5-naphthyridines have been envisioned as structural contours of both 4-amino and 8-aminoquinoline antimalarial agents. These derivatives have, however, only been effective against the asexual erythrocytic stages of the parasite. None of the reported variations show the prophylactic behavior characteristic of 8-aminoquinoline drugs. Recently oxidation of the 1,5-naphthyridine nucleus to the 1,5-naphthyridin-2-one resulted in drugs responsive to the Schmidt prophylactic antimalarial screen. The work detailed herein was an attempt to amplify ... |

| An extended program has been completed which meets the original objective of developing a High Stability JP-5 fuel. This fuel exhibits the markedly improved thermal stability characteristics required for high speed aircraft and yet retains the general physical characteristics of present day JP-5. This development makes possible the design of an improved performance Mach 4-5 speed range aircraft without resorting to cryogenic or specialty fuels and simplifies logistic problems because ... |

| This report presents results on two distinct topics of investigation. The first phase of our study, covering a period of 1-1/2 years, represents a 'proof of principle' effort to develop a new class of tunable liquid lasers operating in the visible region of the spectrum. The idea, termed the Photodissociation Dye Laser (PDL) concept, relies on laser action occurring between an excited electronic state and the ground electronic state of ... |

| An experimental pilot-plant program is described which has demonstrated that specification JP-4 wide-cut type and Jet A narrow-cut type aviation turbine fuels may be produced from domestic shale oils. Three shale oils and two coal-derived liquids were evaluated in the program, which is the second phase in a three phase overall program. The original whole crude samples were assayed and fractionated to yield kerosene-boiling-range feedstocks for catalytic hydrotreatment experiments. Three ... |

| The photodissociation dye laser (PDL) program is an effort to develop a new class of tunable liquid lasers operating in the visible region of the spectrum. In the PDL scheme, laser action is expected to occur between an excited electronic state and the ground electronic state of radicals produced by the photodissociation of specific classes of molecules in solution.

| Six selected petroleum products were studied to determine the amounts of each which could be dispersed and dissolved in water under specified conditions. Variables studied included time, temperature and salinity. Both the dispersed-plus-dissolved and dissolved portions were tested for toxicity to three standard organisms, two species of fish and a brine shrimp. The LC 50's ranged from a few ppm of oil to a few hundred ppm. Both the total ... |

| A study of the effects of interactions between olefins and sulfur, nitrogen and oxygenated compounds in deoxygenated JP-5 has been initiated. This study is designed to determine what compound types can undergo interactions in this system and whether innocuous species may interact to form deleterious reaction products. The first interactions studied were between certain sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen compounds and olefins. These runs are complete. In addition, several runs have ... |

| The oily waste handling needs at the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant were surveyed and evaluated. The major findings concern the lack of adequate facilities for collecting and treating oily wastes. There are two major problem areas: 1)forge shop oily wastes, and 2)waste coolants generated in the production areas. The heat treat shop is operating satisfactorily and requires no major changes.

| Interest in the 4-amino-1,5-naphthyridines as potential prophylactic antimalarial agents has been generated by the structural similarity of the ring system to both the 4- and 8-aminoquinolines. In synthetic studies during the program, the authors sought to expand upon the derivatives of 4-amino-1,5-naphthyridine which are currently available in an effort to secure an optimal prophylactic antimalarial drug. Accordingly, as a result of the synthetic efforts, a total of 26 naphthyridine target ... |

| The feasibility of producing aviation turbine fuels from domestic coal and shale derived oils was assessed. Based on petroleum refining technology, the best methods currently available from making fuel products were evaluated for use in producing jet fuels from synthetics. It was concluded that shale oil is most likely to be used in jet fuel manufacturing. Coal liquids, on the other hand, will probably be used to make components for ... |

| This report presents the results of a study on making optimum use of oil analysis methods for failure prognosis on helicopters. Since the most promising methods have very little statistical history, it was necessary to depend quite heavily on collecting engineering opinions and analyzing them for consensus. The conclusion reached by this process is that it should be feasible to raise the success of prognosis to a very high level, ... |

| The U.S. Army is considering the replacement of diesel fuels by aviation turbine fuels, and is pursuing development of a universal middle distillate fuel in which certain lubricity parameters are needed. The wear and friction characteristics of eleven selected aviation turbine and diesel fuels were evaluated with the aid of the Exxon Research and Engineering Company's Ball-On-Cylinder-Machine. Limited additional testing of some of the fuels was done with the aid ... |

| A fluidized bed incineration technique for regenerating activated carbon contaminated with TNT/RDX explosive mixtures is described. Repeated regeneration of the carbon eventually led to a reduction of its mechanical strength and adsorption effectiveness. An attempt to determine the activity of the carbon via Iodine Number proved unreliable. Emission control tests of combustion products are also reported. (LS). |

Fifty-seven different petroleum products were weathered under controlled conditions in laboratory simulators. Samples were taken periodically and examined by a variety of analytical techniques. The analytical methods were graded on their abilities to (1) classify petroleum products as to generic type and (2) identify the actual source of the spilled oil. Four types ... |
