Abstract:Ignition delay and oxidation of two jet aviation fuels, Jet A-1 and its blended fuel with a bio-jet fuel in half, are investigated by experiments and numerical simulations. From their major combustion properties, derived cetane number and molecular weight of the blended fuel, Jet50-Bio50, are higher than those of Jet A-1, and its H/C ratio and threshold sooting index are lower because more n-alkanes are contained in a bio-jet fuel and aromatic compounds are not. The surrogate fuels of the two jet fuels are con… Show more
