Synthesis and Screening of Advanced Hydrocarbon Fuels

Abstract

At AFRL/PRSP research efforts have been directed towards high-density saturated/unsaturated strained ring hydrocarbons. The theoretical specific impulse (Isp) calculation reflected that hydrocarbons AFRL-1 (Isp = 311.4 sec), AFRL-2 (Isp = 307 sec), AFRL-3 (Isp = 307.2 sec), AFRL-4 (Isp = 321 sec) and AFRL-5 (Isp = 308.7 sec) outperform the current candidates. The synthesis of AFRL-1, AFRL-3 and AFRL-5 and their physical & hazardous properties shall be discussed.
