Advanced Fuel Properties. Phase 1
Abstract
To develop fuels needed for the high performance aircraft of the future the ability to design fuels based on the satisfaction of a set of needed properties is needed. This report covers the first phase of a project to develop software to accomplish this goal. Phase I covers the ability to determine numerous physical and thermochemical properties of pure-component organic fuel candidates based solely on molecular structure(s) of the molecules of interest. The result of Phase I is the software that obtains various physical and thermochemical properties for liquids, ideal gases, and real gases at various temperatures and pressures. Because of the number of methods that were found for predicting properties of molecules, a priority scheme was developed and utilizes the 'best' method to predict the desired property. Additionally, the system has designed within it the ability to interface with an expert system to allow the system to better decide what method(s) should be used to predict each desired property. Keywords: Fuel properties; Physical properties; Thermodynamics; Predictions; Computational; Aviation fuels.
