Alternate Fuels Combustion Research

Abstract

This report presents the results of the Alternate Fuels Combustion Research program. The effects of variations in fuel properties on the performance of a can, PT6A-65, and JT15D-5 combustion systems were determined. Sixteen different fuels were used, encompassing a wide range of chemical and physical properties. The tests covered current specification, broadened specification and alternate source (shale and tar sands derived) fuels.
