Abstract
The thermal stability of the model compound for naphtenic jet fuels, decalin, was tested both under nitrogen purge for pyolytic studies and oxygen purge for autoxidative studies. The large extent of one ring aromatic compounds in the stressed liquids indicated that ring opening was one of the main thermal decomposition routes for decalin like compounds. Further dehydrogenation and alkyl side chain cleavage resulted in the formation of aromatic compounds that could result in formation of solid deposits. The main ring opening site was the ternary position of decalin.
