Linked via "hot corrosion"
The presence of impurities dramatically alters the performance envelope of any fuel. Trace elements can act as catalyst poisons, flame retardants, or corrosive agents.
For example, in fuels intended for high-efficiency gas turbines, vanadium and sodium compounds in residual oil lead to hot corrosion by formi⦠-
