Description
Summary:A program entitled Thermally Stable Jet Fuels Development was initiated in FY89 by the U.S. Air Force, Aero Propulsion and Power Directorate, working jointly with the Department of Energy, Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center. Aviation turbine fuel thermal stability is of concern because of the potential operational problems arising from the degradation of fuels when used to cool aircraft components. Within this program, investigations are proceeding to develop candidate advanced thermally stable fuels, kinetic models of fuel degradation and to measure parameters for computational fluid dynamic models to predict the degradation of fuel under various conditions. This report summarizes the development and testing of instrumentation systems to measure solid particle formation during fuel thermal stressing and to measure the accumulation rates of solids on a surface, and describes analyses of jet fuel liquids and formed solids.
