Aerospace Fuel Technology
Abstract
This project evaluates fuels for legacy and advanced turbine engines, scramjets, detonation, and combined cycle engines. This project also considers fuel related concepts that can increase turbine engine operational reliability, durability, mission flexibility, energy efficiency, and performance while reducing weight, fuel consumption, and cost of ownership. Applications include missiles, aircraft, sustained high-speed vehicles, hypersonic, and responsive space launch. Analytical and experimental areas of emphasis include evaluations of fuel properties and characteristics of traditional fuels and alternative fuels developed from unconventional sources, specialty fuels, and components development used in integrated thermal and energy management systems including high heat sink fuel capability, fuels logistics and associated vulnerabilities, and combustion diagnostics and engine emissions measurements.
