Abstract
Results of a program to determine the effects of fuel properties on the pollutant emissions of two US Air Force aircraft gas turbine engines are presented. Thirteen test fuels, including baseline JP-4 and JP-8, were evaluated in a cannular (J79) and a full annular (F101) combustor. The principal fuel variables were hydrogen content, aromatic structure, volatility, and distillation end point. Data analysis shows that fuel hydrogen content is a key fuel property, particularly with respect to high power emissions (oxides of nitrogen and smoke), and that low power emissions (carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons) are more dependent on fuel atomization and evaporation characteristics.© 1980 ASME
