Shelf life prediction for liquid fuels depends on a reliable and efficient accelerated ageing method. Most of the available researches in this area are limited to isothermal ageing. Therefore, these isothermal ageing methods are not capable to predict shelf life for fuels at non-isothermal ageing conditions.  In the previous work, a new approach called reaction severity index was proposed for t...
