Experimental Investigation of Combustion of Jet Fuels and Surrogates in Nonpremixed Flows

Experimental studies are carried out to characterize nonpremixed combustion of jet fuels and a number of their surrogatesinlaminarnonuniform flows.Thecounterflowconfigurationisemployed.Criticalconditionsofextinction and autoignition are measured for jet propellant 8, Jet-A, and Fisher–Tropsch jet propellant 8. Thirteen surrogates of jetpropellant 8andone surrogate of Fisher–Tropsch jet propellant 8are tested. Itis foundthat criticalconditions of...
