Spectrometric data analysis of a capillary sensor of fuel photo-stability working with high power light emitting diode at 365nm

POSTER

Due to the fact that present-day routines for fuel stability examinations are time consuming, the development of a fast and low-cost sensing method is of high importance. This paper focuses on spectrometric data analysis of a capillary sensor for fast examination of fuel stability using a high power light emitting diode at 365nm as a degradation factor. Samples used for measurements were beforehand stored in a gas can for 2 years. Results allowing to determine fuel stability during 40 minutes of degradation are presented for both continuous light emission as well as an intermitted one utilizing switching off the light source for a 5-minute-long resting period in between subsequent measurements.
