Combustion and Heat Transfer Studies Utilizing Advanced Diagnostics: Fuels Data Sets

Abstract

As the Air Force continues to advance engine technology, aviation fuel heat loading has steadily increased. Therefore, a thermally stable JP-8 fuel is required that can operate at higher temperatures than current fuels. This research program had two objectives: (1) to identify fundamental conditions of fuel thermal decomposition, and (2) to provide the data needed to develop and evaluate global chemistry and heat transfer models for predicting jet fuel thermal decomposition and deposition rate. In this final report, we present the Fuels Data Sets that may be used by modelers in the industry and other laboratories for the evaluation and refinement of global chemistry and heat transfer models for predicting jet fuel deposition rates. These data were obtained using a single-pass, single-tube heat exchanger called the Phoenix rig. More exhaustive information is available in the individual papers listed in this report. All the data sets were prepared using Microsoft Excel V.4.0 for IBM PC- Compatible computers and are available on computer diskettes....
