Kerosene is a middle distillate with a boiling range of about 160-270 °C that finds considerable use as jet fuel. The most critical property of jet fuel is the freeze point as the temperature may reach —50°C at flight altitudes of 10000 m. Kerosene vdth less-critical specifications is used worldwide in lighting, cooking, and heating. [Pg.443]
