Liquid Fuel Property Effects on Lean Blowout in an Aircraft Relevant Combustor

This paper describes results from an experimental study on influences of liquid fuel properties on lean blowout (LBO) limits in an aero-type combustor. In particular, this work aimed to elucidate the roles of fuel chemical and physical properties on LBO. Fuel chemical properties stem from the fuel chemical structure, thus governing chemical kinetic behaviors of oxidation characteristics (e.g., ignition or extinction time scales) and others...
