Multivariate statistics for summarizing diesel feeds for flammability attributes using comprehensive two‐dimensional gas chromatography

Comprehensive 2D gas chromatography has been utilized for analyzing complex mixtures of hydrocarbons of diesel feeds. Here, we evaluated 19 diesel feeds for their paraffinic, naphthenic, and aromatic group compositions dictating their flammability properties. Compositional ranges of feeds were as follows: paraffins: 9.6–57.8%, naphthenes: 7.9–38.5%, and aromatics: 10.5–82.3%. Diesel's flammability performance is estimated by thermodynamic...
