Abstract: A problem to be treated in the design of prevaporizing/premixing combustors for use in advanced air-breathing engines is autoignition of the fuel-air mixture prior to injection into the primary ...

Abstract: A theoretical analysis of the basic chemical kinetic processes which lead to the formation and partial decomposition of nitric oxide and carbon monoxide has been undertaken. A mathematical model ...

Abstract: Fuel deoxygenation is being developed as a means for suppressing autoxidative coke formation in aircraft fuel systems, thereby increasing the exploitable cooling capacity of the fuel, enabling ...

Abstract: A test program has been conducted to determine the thermal stability and heat transfer characteristics of JP-5 and several other kerosene-type fuels which vary in composition and tendency to ...

Abstract: Storable hydrocarbon fuels that undergo endothermic reaction provide an attractive heat sink for future high-speed aircraft. An investigation was conducted to explore the endothermic potential of ...

Abstract: A high-pressure fuel coking test apparatus was designed and developed and was used to evaluate thermal decomposition (coking) limits and carbon deposition rates in heated copper tubes for two ...

Abstract: The thermal decomposition and heat transfer characteristics of gaseous, high-purity methane, several methane–hydrocarbon mixtures, and a typical natural gas fuel were evaluated using an electrically ...

Abstract: The development of a viable strategy for limiting coke deposition involves combining synergistic approaches for suppressing deposit buildup and reducing its impact on performance. Candidate approaches, ...
