Abstract

The dimensionless extinction constants of particulate matter for F-76 diesel and JP-8 aviation fuels were measured at both 633 nm and 853 nm in the transmission cell where the simultaneous gravimetric measurement of PM concentration is compared to the light extinction measurement. For the F-76 diesel PM, the average value of the dimensionless extinction constants at 633 nm was 8.8 whereas that of the dimensionless extinction constants for JP-8 was 9.8 at the same wavelength. As the wavelength is increased to 853 nm, the average value for the F-76 diesel was reduced to 8.2 whereas that for JP-8 was decreased to 8.9.
