National Aerospace Fuels Research Complex

Abstract

This report summarizes extensive in-house research performed by the Air Force Research Laboratory/ Propulsion Directorate Fuels Branch for the 2000-2009 time period under in-house work unit 304805F1. This work was organized under the organizational umbrella of the National Aerospace Fuels Research Complex (NAFRC). This in-house work unit is a successor/consolidation to a number of in-house work units, such as 30480537, 30480587, 2308P700, and is the predecessor to 5330SBF1. This work unit covered the time period from 2000-2009, and includes all the in-house efforts supporting the Fuels Branch of the AFRL Propulsion Directorate. The major on-site contract support was provided by the University of Dayton Research Institute through contracts F33615-97-C-2719 and F33615-03-2-2347. Approximately 60 on-site contractors work on this in-house program as of March 2010. This summary includes a general description of the in-house work areas-- a more complete description will be found in the final report for F33615-03-2-2347, forthcoming in early 2011. Areas discussed in some detail include endothermic fuels, fuel hydrocarbon class analysis, and jet fuel naphthalene analysis.
