Department of Chemistry

Aims

Identify products from micro-reactor oxidation.

Compare results to engine.Use identified products to propose

reaction mechanisms.Ultimately, understand and predict

viscosity increase

Conclusions

Radical abstraction mainly occurs at tertiary sites. Alkenes very significant, possible sludge

precursors. Alcohols could give modest viscosity increase. Not predicted by previous work on model base

fluids
