Combustion of synthetic jet fuels: Naphthenic cut and blend with a gas-to-liquid (GtL) jet fuel

There is increasing interest for utilizing synthetic biofuels in blends with conventional oil-derived liquid fuels. In this contest, research on the combustion of synthetic jet fuels has lately gained significance because they could help addressing sustainability and security of supply for air transportation. Improving the kinetic modeling of the oxidation of synthetic fuels requires further investigations under well-controlled conditions. The...
