A fuel-based thermal management system may comprise a heat exchanger configured to thermally couple a fluid and a fuel. A controller may be configured to modulate a flow of the fluid to the heat exchanger. A tangible, non-transitory memory may be configured to communicate with the controller. The controller may determine a temperature of the fluid, estimate a dissolved oxygen concentration in the fuel using a first fuel temperature, a flight cycle time, and at least one of an altitude measurement or a ambient pressure measurement, and modulate the flow of the fluid to the heat exchanger based on the dissolved oxygen concentration.
