Research status of supercritical aviation kerosene and a convection heat transfer considering thermal pyrolysis

Purpose This paper aims to comprehensively clarify the research status of thermal transport supercritical aviation kerosene, with particular interests in effect cracking on heat transfer. Design/methodology/approach A brief review current kerosene is presented views surrogate model hydrocarbon fuels, chemical mechanism thermo-physical properties turbulence models, flow characteristics and performances, which indicates that more efforts need be directed into these topics. Therefore, n-decane then computationally investigated condition pyrolysis, while ASPEN HYSYS gives pyrolysis products. In addition, one-step SST k-ω are applied relatively high precision. Findings The existing models limited a specific scope application their deviate from experimental data. used implement numerical simulation should studied further improve prediction accuracy. thermal-induced acceleration driven by drastic density change, caused production small molecules. wall temperature combustion chamber can effectively reduced this behavior, i.e. phenomenon transfer deterioration attenuated or suppressed pyrolysis. Originality/value issues studies clearly revealed, conjugation between convective initially presented.
