PAH and other emissions from burning of JP-8 and diesel fuels in diffusion flames

Combustion phenomenon, performance and emissions of a diesel engine with aviation turbine JP-8 fuel and rapeseed biodiesel blends

“…Whereas RME added to jet fuel not only improves the cetane number, but it also modifies the carbon-to-hydrogen ratio, provides fuel-bound oxygen, reduces net heating value, the content of polycyclic aromatics, and improves lubricity of the fuel. Despite a large number of studies conducted in optically-accessible [13,15,[30][31][32], single cylinder engines [23,28,29,33,34], a spherical vessel [35], laboratory furnaces, burners, and afterburners [36] there is a lack of works on a real multi-cylinder diesel engine powered with JP-8 fuel and rapeseed biodiesel blends. The purpose of the research was to study the effect of RME added to JP-8 fuel on the autoignition delay, combustion history, heat release characteristics, engine performance parameters, and exhaust emissions.…”

Fire safety tests comparing synthetic jet and diesel fuels with JP-8

“…Further processing yields the commercially available jet fuel (A or A-1) with an average molecular formula C 11 H 21 , being about 25% aromatics and 75% saturated (paraffin and naphthene) hydrocarbons [5]. JP-8 is produced from jet fuel A by adding a corrosion inhibitor/lubricity improver, an anti-static additive, and a fuel system icing inhibitor [6].…”

“…2-D diesel fuel typically contains more aromatics than kerosene at 35% as well as a higher average molecular formula C 12 H 26 [5]. Similar to the SPK fuels, the synthetic S-2 fuel is also produced by reforming natural gas followed by a Fischer-Tropsch process, but different refining is used to obtain the desired fuel composition with an average molecular weight of C 12 H 26 and 499% saturated hydrocarbons [8], quite different than the 35% aromatics in conventional diesel fuel.…”

An investigation of effect of biodiesel and aviation fuel jeta-1 mixtures performance and emissions on diesel engine

“…JetA-1 fuel contains a fuel system icing inhibitor, which results in high enthalpy and an enhanced adaptation to cold weather conditions [11]. On the contrary, the most important disadvantage of fuels used in the aviation industry is their poor lubrication characteristics.…”
