Abstract

JP-8 fuel used in the aviation industry, especially in military fields, is used as a common military fuel between NATO countries. As the basic substance of JP-8 fuel, kerosene flares at high temperatures directly increase aircraft safety and freezing point is around -49 ° C, it is advantageous to use easily in fuel systems. In this study, the effects of jp-8 and diesel fuel mixtures on engine performance were investigated experimentally. A 3-cylinder, four-stroke, turbocharged diesel engine with pump injector fuel system was used for this purpose. 5% JP8 was added to diesel fuel. It was used as a fuel in the engine and the obtained values were analyzed according to the diesel fuel.

Highlights

  • Since the industrial revolution, industrial energy has been suppied by fossil fuels

  • In order to improve the efficiency of the fuel distribution system, the US Department of Defense (DoD) introduced a single fuel (JP-8) policy for all its air and ground vehicles

  • Bilge International Journal of Science and Technology Research 2019, 3(Special Issue): 106-111 are shown in Table 1(Lee and Bae 2011, Lee, Oh et al 2012, Lee, Lee et al 2015)

Summary

Introduction

Industrial energy has been suppied by fossil fuels. It leads to an incease in the atmosphere of the Earth and the rate of cabon dioxide and harmful compounds (Sungur, Topaloglu 2018). To reduce the amount of crude oil in the environment and to limit the use of alternative fuels for internal combustion engines. It is very important, to study the autoignition, combustion, and emissions characteristics of different types of JP-8 fuels used in military diesel engines (Wei, Liu et al 2019).
