Abstract: Flowing aviation fuel is used as a coolant in military aircraft. Dissolved O2 reacts with the heated fuel to form undesirable surface deposits which disrupt the normal flow. For purposes of ...

Abstract: Flow experiments in a single-pass heat exchanger using JP-8 and certain additives were initiated under controlled conditions to explore the effects of a metal surface on deposition. The experimental ...

Abstract: Since dissolved oxygen participates in fuel deposit formation, knowledge of the effects of dissolved oxygen concentration on fuel thermal stability is critical for fuel system design. In this ...

Abstract: A previously developed flowing single-pass heat-exchanger test rig (Phoenix rig) has been used to evaluate the effectiveness of various additives and the kinetic mechanism of both deposit formation ...

Abstract: A flowing, single-pass heat exchanger test rig, with a fuel capacity of 189 liters, has been developed to evaluate jet fuel thermal stability. This “Phoenix Rig” is capable of supplying jet ...
