big heights

Can you please read it and check it? Thanks.



Fuel for jet engines is a compound of heavy petrol and petroleum. Temperature at which this fuel freezes (the freezing point of this fuel) has to be very low (below minus 55 degrees C), which is present at the big heights of during the aeroplane's flight, and it shouldn't contain more than 0,15 sulphur.

Fuel for jet engines is a compound of heavy petrol and petroleum. The temperature at which this fuel freezes / The freezing point of this fuel must be very low (below minus 55 degrees C), because of the high altitudes during an aeroplane's flight, and it should not contain more than 0,15 sulphur. Don't use contractions ( shouldn't ) in formal writing, Antonia.

How about 'less than minus' and also a couple of specific points about chemical terminology.

Fuel for jet engines is a mixture of heavy petrol and petroleum. The temperature at which this fuel freezes must be very low (less than -55ºC), because of the high altitudes during an aeroplane's flight, and it should not contain more than 0,15 sulphur.

Also there should be a unit with t

Antonija...

I'm not sure how technical you want to be with writing your papers. But I'll just make a suggestion for you to consider.

With regards to the freezing of the fuel on jet planes, and at other places where machinery has to functiion in sub-zero temperatures. The wax content of the fuel starts to separate out and develop crystals and will interrupt or stop the running of

Thank you Mister Micawber, Alan and Squeaky.

You are right, Alan, I omitted percentage.

Squeaky, I see your point. I don't know the first thing about this topic. So I will leave both terms and decide what to do later. Thank you very much for your effort.
