Rapid Response Research and Development (R&D) for the Aerospace Systems Directorate. Delivery Order 0021: Engineering Research and Technical Analyses of Advanced Airbreathing Propulsion Fuels, Subtask: Engine and Pump Studies Utilizing JP-8 and Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) Blends

Abstract

This report contains the results of engine and pump studies carried out on Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) and JP-8 blends. Performance and endurance testing was performed using a Ford 6.7L high pressure common rail (HPCR) diesel engine. Wear testing was performed on rotary fuel injection pumps at various temperatures. A cetane sensitivity study was performed on the Ford 6.7L engine using fuels having cetane values between 30 and 51. A cold temperature study with high and low cetane fuels was also performed on a GEP 6.5L Turbo Diesel Engine.
