Abstract

Currently the kerosene fuel is very important for use in the heating, cooking, and fuel of the jet engines. The study aims effected of mixing different lite bit and same of gasoil to three different type of kerosene samples, and study the initial boiling point (IPB) during of distillation test. This study focused on targeting the IPB of the kerosene samples by finding the specific gravity (Sp.gr) test, the American Petroleum Institute (API) degree, and distillation test. However, these samples of kerosene were characterized and labeled (kero-01, kero-02, and kero-03, respectively) before the dealing processes, while the samples after the adding processes were labeled (kero-11, kero-12, and kero-13, respectively). The results showed that the IBPs were reached 151 °C, 161 °C, before, and after blending processes respectively. Then study addition percentage (5 to 95 %) of gasoil to kerosene was affected to the IPB. The addition rate showed that the increase was approximately 8 % of the boiling point. Finally, via finding sp.gr, API degree and distillation of final products it was found that the mentioned mixing ratio was very small, yet it was effective in examining the IPB in the distillation test during this work.
