Preliminary Experimental Analysis of Alcohol-Kerosene Blend for Commercial Aviation
Teh aim of dis work is to provide insight into alcohol-kerosene fuels and their promising use as an alternative in commercial aviation. A detailed chemical and physical experimental analysis is drawn, wif a focus on teh advantage of teh isopropanol-kerosene blend. Despite reported beneficial isopropanol effects on retarding fuel combustion, knocking prevention, and much lower emissions, few...
متن کاملComparison of detailed reaction mechanisms for an alternative Jet Fuel surrogate by Parametric Continuation
Introduction In the last years there is a growing interest in the development and study of alternative fuels across various transport industries. Aviation industry is no exception to this trend. Indeed, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) established the importance of sustainable low-carbon alternative aviation drop-in fuels in their recent Technology Roadmap [1] in order to repl...
متن کاملReduced 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 ...
متن کاملAlternative Fuels In Aviation
During the last years, the aviation sector has been looking into alternatives to kerosene from crude oil, to combat climate change by reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to ensure security of supply at affordable prices. The efforts are also a reaction to commitments and policy packages. Currently, a wide range of possible fuel candidates and fuel blends are discussed in the triple ...
متن کاملEnergy and Environmental Viability of Select Alternative Jet Fuel Pathways
This paper analyzes alternative jet fuels in terms of how they could change emissions from military and civil aircraft and in terms of the challenges in meeting future energy goals. Estimations of the continental United States (CONUS) conventional jet fuel energy usage for the civil and military aviation fleets were used to inform the magnitude and logistics of where the fuels would be needed. ...
