Freezing of Jet Fuel within a Buoyancy-Driven Flow in a Rectangular Optical Cell

摘要

JPTS, kerosene, Jet A, an additized Jet A samples were cooled below their freeze point temperatures in a rectangular, optical ell. Images and temperature data recorded during the solidification process provided information on crystal habit, crystallization behavior, and the influence of the buoyancy-driven flow on freezing. N-Alkane composition of the samples was determined.
