Developing Surrogates for Liquid Transportation Fuels: The Role of Spherically Symmetric Droplet Combustion
The finite supply of transportation fuels has generated renewed interest to improve their performance in power and propulsion devices. However, the complexity of real fuels prohibits developing their combustion chemistries and property databases needed for simulating performance in engines to identify operational regimes for improving fuel efficiency. Surrogates offer the means to address these...
متن کاملNational Center for Metropolitan Transportation Research Final Report METRANS Research Project 08-01: Combustion and Emission Characteristics of Biofuels Used for Transportation
The world faces both an energy crisis and the problem of global warming due to increasing emissions of green-house gases, particularly CO2. Because of dwindling petroleum reserves in the USA, there is an urgent need to develop alternative fuels. Bioderived fuels are one of the most viable and affordable alternatives. We focus on several biofuels, specifically dimethyl-ether (DME), a clean fuel ...
متن کاملPreliminary 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 کاملSpherically symmetric droplet combustion of three and four component miscible mixtures as surrogates for Jet-A
This study examines the droplet combustion characteristics of three and four component miscible liquid mixtures and compares the results with an aviation fuel (Jet-A) burning under the same conditions. The configuration used in the comparison is the base case of spherical symmetry whereby the droplet and flame are spherical and concentric. Mixtures consisting of n-decane/iso-octane/toluene and ...
متن کاملTopanol A as an Antioxidant for Jet Fuel: Preparation and Application
Topanol A is a phenolic antioxidant additive, which is used in storage tanks for jet fuels produced in the petroleum refineries throughout the country. Topanol A mostly consists of 2,6-di-t-butylphenol. The conventional methods for the preparation of this compound involve ortho-alkylation of phenol using 2-methylpropene (isobutylene) as the alkylating agent. The compound has been prepared by or...
