Three-Dimensional Analysis on Flow and Temperature Distributions for Aircraft Fuel Thermal Stability.

摘要

This report presents flow and temperature distributions in the Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation Tester (JFTOT), a device that has been used in thermal stability research of aircraft fuels. The Computational Fluid Dynamics and Chemistry (CFDC) model used in this study is based on the global Arrhenius type surface temperature-dependent correlation because of the lack of the existing experimental data. The initial attempt to calculate the deposit thickness and to simulate flow in the JFTOT is very encouraging.
