Abstract—In this paper we try to investigate how a bioorganic compound influences the physicochemical properties of jet fuel (JP8). Using specific volume of JP8(F-34) and specific mass of the hydrophilic polymer, we determine density, kinematic viscosity -20ºC, humidity, total acid number, heat of combustion, distillation residue, distillation temperature 10% recovered and flash point in order to study the effect of the bioorganic compound. The results show that humidity, total acid number could decrease considerably and heat of combustion, flash point could increase significantly, so that jet fuel’s quality is improving.

Index Terms—Bioorganic Compound, Distillation Proces, JP8, Physicochemical Properties, Total Acid Number (TAN).
