Supercritical Fuel Jets ? Resolving Controversy
Abstract
Based upon prior work, we hypothesize that when pure hydrocarbon fuels are injected into gases atthe conditions representative of many modern transportation powerplants, the edges of these jetsbecome transitionally supercritical. The commonly assumed fuel spray structure would not exist insuch a case. It is possible, however, that commercially available fuels do not undergo this transition,or just begin to do so, as mixtures of compounds have very different critical properties than do thepure substances.
