“…47 Jet A and Jet A-1 are used in civilian aircrafts, with Jet A being used only in the United States, while Jet A-1 is used throughout the rest of the world. 7 The freezing point of Jet A is at 240°C, while that of Jet A-1 is at 247°C. 7 On the other hand, JP-8 is the military version of Jet A-1 and is used in military aircrafts of the NATO and the United States.…”

“…3,4 However, in recent times, kerosene has also found its use in direct injection compression ignition (DICI) engines. 5,6 The use of kerosene in DICI engines is fundamentally due to the introduction of the Single Fuel Concept (SFC) [7][8][9][10][11] proposed by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) military which includes the United States. This concept was proposed to eradicate the problem of fuel supply during both peacetime and wartime operations.…”

The use of kerosene in direct injection compression ignition engines is fundamentally due to the introduction of the Single Fuel Concept. As conventional direct injection compression ignition diesel engines are made specifically to use diesel fuel, the usage of kerosene will affect engine emissions and performance due to differences between the fuel properties of kerosene and diesel. As a result, in order for kerosene to be properly and efficiently used in diesel engines, it is needful for the scientific community to know the properties of kerosene, its autoignition and combustion characteristics, as well as its emissions formation behavior under diesel engine operating conditions. Moreover, it is desirable to know the progress made in the development of suitable kerosene surrogates for engine applications as it is a crucial step toward the development of reliable chemical reaction mechanisms for numerical simulations. Therefore, in this work, a comprehensive review is carried out systematically to better understand the characteristics and behavior of kerosene under direct injection compression ignition engine relevant conditions. In this review work, the fuel properties of kerosene are summarized and discussed. In addition, fundamental autoignition studies of kerosene in shock tube, rapid compression machine, fuel ignition tester, ignition quality tester, constant volume combustion chamber, and engine are compiled and evaluated. Furthermore, experimental studies of kerosene spray and combustion in constant volume combustion chambers are examined. Also, the experimental investigations of kerosene combustion and emissions in direct injection compression ignition engines are discussed. Moreover, the development of kerosene surrogates, their chemical reaction mechanisms, and the modeling of kerosene combustion in direct injection compression ignition engines are summarized and talked about. Finally, recommendations are also given to help researchers focus on the areas which are still severely lacking.

“…Compared to the commonly used jet fuels in civil aircrafts (such as Jet-A and Jet-A1), JP-8 specifications are generally the same except for the addition of certain types of additives, including an antioxidant, a static dissipater, a corrosion inhibitor, fuel system icing inhibitor, and a lubricity improver [2,3]. Since Jet-A has very similar components to JP-8 and is easy to get from a local retailer, Jet-A was used in this work in place of JP-8.…”
