Naphthalene hydrogenation was studied over a novel Ni–Al-layered double hydroxide-derived Mo-doped mixed metal oxide (Mo-MMO), contrasted against bifunctional NiMo/Al2O3, and Pd-doped Al2O3 catalysts, the latter of which with Pd loadings 1, 2, 5 wt %. Reaction rate constants were derived from pseudo-first-order kinetic pathway describing two-step to tetralin (k1) decalin (k2). The Mo-MMO cataly...

Abstract New alternative jet fuels have provided many advantages in the aviation industry, especially terms of economics and environment. However, fuel–seal compatibility is one major issues that restricts fuel advancement into market. Thus, to help understand solve problem, this study examines swelling effect prepared non-prepared O-rings different aromatic species. Stress relaxation experimen...
