Advanced Supercritical Fuels

Abstract

Increases in aircraft and engine performance are increasing the heat load being transferred into an aircraft's primary coolant--the fuel. This research is aimed at understanding the limitations of operation of fuel heated to 48 deg C (90 deg F) and beyond. Important issues are expected to be thermal stability, heat transfer/flow instabilities, and injection/combustion properties.
