This work analyses, experimentally and numerically, the combustion behavior of a standard jet fuel (Jet-A1).

Abstract

This work analyses, experimentally and numerically, the combustion behavior of a standard jet fuel (Jet-A1). The goal is to demonstrate the ability of a chemical kinetic model to capture the combustion behavior of a representative real jet fuel in a well-controlled experiment. Experimental measurements provided by DLR are used to support and validate the predictions of a chemical kinetic model developed at CRECK Modeling Lab. Jet fuels contain hundreds of components, therefore, a 9 component surrogate blend was formulated by means of detailed compositional information and an in-house optimization tool. This surrogate, together with the kinetic model that describes its combustion chemistry, offers a fundamental tool for the analysis of the performance of the fuel in practical systems.
