Synthetic and jet fuels pyrolysis for cooling and combustion applications

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 Effect on Emissions of using Alternative Fuels in Turbo-Charged Diesel Engines

The paper outlines the Emission and Biofuel Directives relating to CO2 emissions in cars and the fiscal penalties incurred by manufacturers failing to meet targets. The effect on emissions of the biofuel directives are quantified through a test programme which measures emissions from a turbo-charged diesel engine using a range of biodiesel fuels, using standard diesel fuel to obtain a compariso...

Dermal absorption and distribution of topically dosed jet fuels jet-A, JP-8, and JP-8(100).

Dermal exposure to jet fuels has received increased attention with the recent release of newer fuels with novel performance additives. The purpose of these studies was to assess the percutaneous absorption and cutaneous disposition of topically applied (25 microl/5 cm(2)) neat Jet-A, JP-8, and JP-8(100) jet fuels by monitoring the absorptive flux of the marker components 14C naphthalene and (3)...
