Experimental Evaluation of JP-8-Based Fire Resistant Fuels
… Middle East. Fire Resistant Fuels are based upon JP-8, which is now the primary fuel for the Army ground services. The goal of FRF development is to reduce susceptibility to ignition at standard storage conditions while still serving as a fuel for the Army's diesel vehicles. Two preliminary tests …

Jp-8 Surrogates For Diesel Engine Application: Development, Validation, And Cfd Simulation
… of this research was, therefore, to develop a JP-8 surrogate with a limited number of fuel components so that its chemical mechanism could be developed for its use with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes for enabling time-efficient diesel engine cycle simulation. In order to achieve this …

Determining organic vapor cartridge breakthrough characteristics of JP-8 during aircraft fuel tank entry operations
This study assessed the service life of organic vapor cartridges exposed to jet Propulsion Type 8 fuel vapor. Two experiments were conducted that involved exposing 45 cartridges to three challenge concentrations (300, 600, and 1200 parts per million) of fuel vapor and two relative humidity levels …

Research on the Performance of JP-8, Single Fuel Concept, in Diesel Engine Application for Airport Ground Support Equipment
… vehicles must be operable with aviation fuel (JP-8) and with this substitution of JP-8 for diesel concerns about the compatibility of this fuel with existing diesel engine systems arise. It is for this reason, this research investigates the combustion, emissions, and performance characteristics …

The Investigation of Combustion and Emissions of Jp8 Fuel in an Auxiliary Power Unit
… must be able to operate with aviation fuel JP-8. It is for this reason that it is vital that an investigation into the impact of JP-8 on a diesel engine performance be conducted. The author investigated the injection, combustion, and performance of JP-8, 20-50% by weight in diesel no. 2 …

Effect Of Intake Temperature And Boost Pressure On The Auto-Ignition Of Fuels With Different Cetane Numbers And Volatilities
… fuels used are ultra-low-sulfur-diesel (ULSD), JP-8 (two blends with CN 50 & 31) and F-T SPK. Detailed analysis is made of the rate of heat release during the ignition delay period, to determine the effect of fuel volatility and CN on the auto-ignition process. A STAR-CD CFD model is applied to …

Ignition delay study of next generation alternative jet fuels in a rapid compression machine
… A-2), the nominal commercial aviation fuel, JP-8(Jet A-1) and JP-5(Jet A-3), both of which are conventional military jet fuels. Fuels in category C are the surrogate fuels with specific targeted physical properties, or chemical composition. They are either produced from bio feedstock, or …

The Impact of a Microturbine Power Plant on an Off Road Range Extended Electric Vehicle
… as an Electric Vehicle (EV) and run on JP-8 (a diesel equivalent) are unusual; few options can adequately address all of these needs. Most development of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) has focused on gasoline ICE power plants, but Diesel ICEs are heavier, which has an adverse effect on …

Ceramic Microreactors for on-Site Hydrogen Production
… of hydrocarbons, such as propane, diesel, or JP-8, are: (i) to avoid coking of the catalyst surface by operating at temperatures above 800°C; (ii) to achieve high conversion in a small reactor volume; and (iii) to have a low, sustainable pressure drop across the reactor. A suitable …

The effect of freeze /thaw temperature fluctuations on microbial metabolism of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated Antarctic soil
… were contaminated with historic releases of JP-8 jet fuel. Over time, there does not appear to have been significant reduction in the petroleum concentrations in these soils. This lack of reduction has been attributed to the extremely cold Antarctic environment and the lack of available …

Autoignition and combustion chemistry of kerosene type fuels and components
… all conventional aviation fuels studied (Jet-A, JP-5, and JP-8) at low temperatures was noted. The petroleum based aviation fuels clearly exhibit longer ignition delays than most alternative fuels. The shorter ignition delays and corresponding enhanced reactivity of the alternative fuels is …
