Autoignition and combustion chemistry of kerosene type fuels and components
… literature to experimental results. Jet-A and kerosene-type surrogate fuels and kinetic models were used to model JP-5 ignition delay times. The Dooley Jet-A and Aachen surrogates examined predicted the general trends found experimentally, but did not replicate the ignition delay values found. …

Simulating Extinction and Blow-off in Kerosene Swirl Spray Flames
… reference fuel, whereas C1 and C5 are synthetic kerosenes with unusual fuel chemistry or liquid property characteristics. These NFJCP fuels are represented using the Hybrid Chemistry “HyChem” lumped pyrolysis detailed kinetic mechanisms. Simulations in non-premixed laminar counterflow flamelet …

THE EFFECTS OP METHAHE/KEROSENE MIXTURES AS SPARK IGNITION ENGINE FUELS
The effects of methane/kerosene fuel mixtures on the performance and the exhaust emissions of spark ignition engines have been investigated experimentally and theoretically. A series of experimental investigations have been carried out on three different single cylinder spark ignition engines and …

Experimental investigation of unconfined bluff body stabilised flames with vapourised kerosene fuels
… while the other two were multi-component kerosene blends (A2 and C1 from the National Jet Fuel Combustion Programme). The lean blow-off limit indicates that the ethanol and heptane flames are more resilient to blow-off than the kerosene fuels. To facilitate comparisons with gaseous-fueled …

Life cycle assessment of off-grid lighting applications : kerosene vs. solar lanterns
… often unreliable. As a result, fuel-based kerosene lighting is the most common solution to lighting necessities. However, kerosene combustion affects indoor air quality and relies on a non-renewable fossil fuel subject to price volatility. Thus, solar lanterns are being introduced to …

A study of column separation accompanying pressure transients in an aviation kerosene pipeline
… and downstream sides of a valve in an aviation kerosene pipeline was the subject of an investigation involving the method of characteristics to solve the partial differential equations governing pressure transient propagation. Particular attention was given to obtaining accurate velocity results …

Evaluation of hot surface ignition device performance with high-pressure kerosene fuel sprays
… as continuous-use ignition devices for kerosene-fueled CI engines. Furthermore, it examines the interaction between a single high-pressure fuel spray with a hot surface device in order to identify the most important parameters for optimizing ignition behavior. Results of these …

The relative economic value of gasoline and kerosene as fuel for a heavy duty engine
… far more satisfactorily on gasoline than on kerosene. Frequent oil changes are necessary when kerosene is used. When burning gasoline the engine operated on fuel-air mixtures varying from 1 - 17.5 to 1 - 7.48 by weight. The most economical ratio was 1 - 15.2, with the intake air at 135° F. …

The effect of different chemical classes on the swelling of NBR O-rings in blends with synthetic paraffinic kerosene
… Fischer Tropsch-derived synthetic paraffinic kerosene (SPK) and pure compounds including isomers of n-, iso- and cyclic paraffins, aromatics and oxygenates. The paraffins were tested as neat components. With the aromatics and oxygenates, 8% (v/v) blends with coal-to-liquid (CTL) SPK were …

Hydromagnetic radiative effect on water, kerosene based on single walled carbon nanotubes induced by a stretching/shrinking sheet with viscous-ohmic dissipation
The flow and heat transfer characteristics of radiative magnetohydrodynamic convection boundary layer flow of nanofluids over a nonlinear stretching/shrinking sheet in the presence of viscous dissipation, thermal radiation and Ohmic heating is investigated numerically.The similarity transformation …

Studies on early fetal loss in mares
… herein. Next, to explore the use of infusions of kerosene to enhance the regression of endometrial cups, thirteen mares had intrauterine kerosene infusions at 21- and 35-days post-abortion. Anecdotally, intrauterine infusion with kerosene has been proposed as a method to treat endometrial cup …

Ignition limits of explosively dispersed fuel
… from the explosive dispersal and ignition of kerosene in the event of an attack on or an accident in a military facility or vessel carrying kerosene fuel tanks. As such, the work conducted approaches the ignition of explosively dispersed fuel from the context of safety in the hopes of either …

Emissions and operational aspects of methanol as an alternative fuel in a stationary gas turbine
… methanol's lubricity to equal that of aviation kerosene, with as little as 1% additive. The lower heating value of methanol required modifications to the WVU gas turbine's fuel system and atomizer, to provide higher flow rate of fuel then required with aviation kerosene. The gas turbine was …

Solar energy as an alternative energy source for lighting: the case of George, Lusaka.
Some informal settlement dwellers use candles and kerosene for lighting. However, kerosene and candles are hazardous to health and property. Burning candles and kerosene in indoor emits toxic carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). The aim of the study was to …
