Research on the influence of the component of biofuel on RP-3 jet fuel by laser test methods

摘要

The alternative biofuel allure our increasingly attention due to the shortage of traditional fossil fuel, so it's necessary for us to research the availability of alternative fuel. In our research, we focus on the usage of alternative fuel of the aircraft engine. For the purpose of safety, the common usage of alternative fuel is to blend it into traditional RP-3 fuel to accomplish all kinds of testing work. For there are many kinds of chemical compound in alternative fuel, so the common practice is to test every individual compound to justify the atomization and combustion characters of alternative fuel. In this work, we blend the alkane C17 and C18 to the traditional RP-3 fuel to test the atomization character under the condition of different pressure and mixing proportion by laser test methods.
