The propensity of aviation turbine fuels to produce deposits in the oil-cooler and filter sections of aircraft fuel systems has been examined using a rig that simulates the fuel system of an aircraft and which employs realistic flow rates. All the fuels examined were found to be thermally stable up to temperatures in excess of those currently attained in engine oil coolers. Comparison with results obtained with the JFTOT indicates that this is not suited for use as a research tool.

Growing concerns regarding the environmental impact of burning fossil fuels and energy independence has spurned the transportation industry into developing a more eco-friendly and sustainable way to travel. The most promising frontier in this endeavor is the development of alternative fuels that will significantly reduce the carbon footprint of our current engines with little or no modifications required. The effect that one of these frontier fuels may have, camelina based biofuel, on various fuel system materials was evaluated in this report in accordance with ASTM D4054 in the form of a 50:50 mixture. The materials went through an immersion process at varying temperatures and tested under the numerous standards outlined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The results were compared to a benchmark Jet A1 fuel since the effects of this fuel on current fuel system materials is extensively known. The purpose of this research is to determine the viability of using a 50:50 biofuel mixture in current aircraft fuel systems by evaluating the physical properties after being fuel treated. The results showed that the biofuel mixture affected the non-metallic materials in varying degrees, while not affecting the metallic materials.

Cavitation usually appears in aircraft fuel system, which is significant for the operation of engine. Uncontrollable cavitation will cause cavitation erosion to the units of fuel system, while the controllable cavitation can enhance the turbulence of fuel and improve the engine performance. This work along with molecular dynamics was used to simulate the cavitation in RP-3 jet fuel with different temperatures and pressures. The influence of fuel temperature and pressure on cavitation characteristics was studied. It is indicated that the higher the temperature is, the more easily the RP-3 jet fuel cavitate. Furthermore, the influence of pressure on cavitation can be divided into two periods. The lower the fuel pressure is, the faster the occurrence and development of cavitation in RP-3 jet fuel. When the temperature and pressure of the RP-3 jet fuel are set at the region between the line [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]%, the cavitation erosion can be almost ignored, and the dispersion of fuel droplets is almost the best.
