Small Turbine Engine Performance Evaluation of High Density Fuels. Part I. Blends of RJ-5 Fuel.

Abstract

To meet range and payload requirements, many of the proposed volume limited missile systems will require use of high volumetric energy fuels. The fuel candidate with the greatest potential for air-breathing engine application is the hydrocarbon Shelldyne-H. To reduce the viscosity and to improve starting capability, Shelldyne-H was blended with diluents to provide a variety of high density fuels suitable for different applications. A test program using a Williams WR 24-6 turbojet engine was conducted by the Fuels Branch of the Air Force Aero Propulsion Laboratory to evaluate the combustion performance of these blends compared to the conventional fuel, JP-4. In cooperation with ASD/RW86EJ, a flow test was performed on the various blends at -65F.
