The jet fuels anti-wear properties indicator

Biocidal properties of anti-icing additives for aircraft fuels.

The biocidal and biostatic activities of seven glycol monoalkyl ether compounds were evaluated as part of an effort to find an improved anti-icing additive for jet aircraft fuel. Typical fuel contaminants, Cladosporium resinae, Gliomastix sp., Candida sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and a mixed culture containing sulfate-reducing bacteria were used as assay organisms. Studies were carried out over...

Reduced Kinetic Models for the Combustion of Jet Propulsion Fuels

Reduced chemical kinetic models to predict the combustion characteristics of jet propulsion fuels are produced and tested. The parent detailed kinetic model has been developed on the basis of a surrogate fuel formulation methodology that utilizes combustion property targets measured for a particular real fuel to formulate a chemical mixture of nalkanes, iso-alkanes and aromatic functionalities ...

The anti - k t jet clustering algorithm

The kt and Cambridge/Aachen inclusive jet finding algorithms for hadron-hadron collisions can be seen as belonging to a broader class of sequential recombination jet algorithms, parametrised by the power of the energy scale in the distance measure. We examine some properties of a new member of this class, for which the power is negative. This “anti-kt” algorithm essentially behaves like an idea...

Biodistillate Transportation Fuels 1. Production and Properties

Biodistillate transportation fuels include biodiesel (produced via transesterification of animal fats and vegetable oils) and renewable diesel (produced via catalytic hydroprocessing of the same feedstocks). Production and use of biodistillates are increasing dramatically, both in the U.S. and globally. This paper describes the policy drivers prompting growth of biodistillate fuels in the U.S.,...
