Abstract
THE ASTM-CRC LUMINOMETER WAS EVALUATED AS A LABORATORY TECHNIQUE TO PREDICT THE COMBUSTION-IMPROVING CHARACTERISTICS OF DIESEL SMOKE-SUPPRESSANT ADDITIVES. PRELIMINARY EXPERIMENTATION, WHICH REVEALED THE INADEQUACIES OF THIS APPROACH (BECAUSE UNSATISFACTORY TEST REPEATABILITY MASKED ITS DISCRIMINATING CAPABILITY), LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW WICK PREPARED FROM GLASS-WOOL FIBERS. ALTHOUGH SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN PRECISION WAS OBTAINED WITH THIS EXPERIMENTAL WICK, THE LUMINOMETER APPROACH WAS NOT SUITABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE FUEL AND ADDITIVE BLENDS. FURTHER EXPERIMENTATION WAS PERFORMED TO OPTIMIZE THE GEOMETRY OF THE GLASS-WOOL FIBER WICK AS A RECOMMENDED ALTERNATE IN ASTM D1740 FOR DETERMINING THE FLAME-RADIATION PROPERTIES OF DIESEL FUELS. /AUTHOR/
