A surrogate for emulating the physical and chemical properties of conventional jet fuel

Two surrogates are developed using a model-based optimizer to emulate the fuel properties affecting the spray development and gas phase ignition of a conventional jet fuel. The first surrogate, UM1, is a mixture of n-dodecane/iso-cetane/methylcyclohexane/toluene (0.3844/0.1484/0.2336/0.2336 mol fraction), while the second, UM2, is a mixture of n-dodecane/iso-cetane/decalin/toluene (0.2897/0.1424/0.3188/0.2491 mol fraction). The developed...
