Lubricating Properties

Recently, steps have been taken to introduce synthetic hydrocarbons to aviation fuels as biocomponents. This action is an innovative change in the approach to aviation fuels. This new approach to the assessment of fuel properties requires a revision of the existing criteria for their quality assessment, including those relating to tribological properties. In the requirements for Jet fuel, only the BOCLE test simulating continuous circular motion was used to assess lubricity. Research on the use of fuels containing components with highly differentiated chemical compositions indicate that the BOCLE test may be an insufficient criterion for assessing the lubricity of fuels for aircraft turbine engines. An additional HFRR test modelling the processes accompanying the reciprocating friction that occurs in some lubricated elements of the fuel system has been proposed. This article presents the results of BOCLE and HFRR tests on a range of Jet A1 fuel mixtures and various synthetic paraffin hydrocarbons. A preliminary analysis of the observed effect of synthetic hydrocarbons on the results of both tests is presented.

Abstract A worldwide trend to popularise gradually increasing use of biofuels in various applications was a motivation for gaining interest in FAME as a commonly available biocomponent to fuels combusted in turbine engines. These engines are mainly used in aeronautics, but many of them are also used in other, non-aeronautical areas, including marine navigation. Specific conditions in which fuels are combusted in turbine engines used in these applications are the reason why fuel mixtures of kerosene and FAME type should reveal relevant low temperature characteristics. The article presents results of tests of low temperature properties of mixtures of the jet fuel Jet A-1 and methyl esters of higher fatty acids (FAME). The prepared mixtures contained different contents of FAME. The obtained results present changes of: viscosity, cloud point, pour point, crystallising point, and cold filter plugging point, depending on the percentage by volume of FAME. They also prove that the course of changes of low temperature properties of these mixtures is affected by chemical structure of the biocomponent.

Lubricating Properties

This paper gives a short description of the lubricating properties of yellow and red bone marrow taken from a femur of a cadaver. The experiments have been conducted on a ‘ball-on-plate’ model. The balls were made from steel 100 CR6 (German) and the plates were made from the same steel and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, German ‘Herulen’). The friction coefficients under loads of 50 and 300 N were determined with different combinations of friction components. It has been found that the lubricating properties of yellow and red marrow have advantages over synovial fluid. In the light of these results the author develops a new approach to the design of a new hip endoprosthesis.

The problem of the military vehicles engines fuelling increases with the growth of the amount of vehicles in the armies. At the same time, another problem with fuel supply in modern engines is the use of bio component additives, which changes characteristics (quality) of the used fuels. Therefore, it is important to take actions to adapt engines to powering with fuels coming from renewable sources.The aim of the research was to evaluate the possibility of feeding the diesel engine (influence on the useful parameters and composi-tion) with mixtures of the unified battlefield fuel F-34/F-35 with biocomponents in the form of anhydrous ethyl alcohol and RME. The tests were conducted during fuelling of the engine with six kinds of fuels: basic fuel (diesel oil), NATO code F-34/F-35 fuel, as well as fuel mixtures: F-34 and RME with different ratio and F-34/F-35 with bioethanol. In the result of the research it was concluded that the parameters of the G9T Renault engine with the common rail fuel system in terms of F-34 and RME consumption (using) decreased in comparison to diesel oil basic fuel. It is not possible to supply the engine with the mixture of ethyl alcohol and F-34 fuel – alcohol pre-cipitation and obliteration of fuel system components

Temperature And Pressure

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.

Abstract Propolis is produced by the honeybees by using resin and other plant secretions. Propolis from different geographical regions have different chemical compositions. This is because the chemical constituents of propolis depend on the vegetation surrounding the apiary. In this report we present a new approach using DNA barcoding for the identification of the botanical origin of propolis. Red propolis samples were collected at different times of the year from the state of Sergipe situated in Northeast Brazil. Extraction of the DNA from propolis was made using a CTA B method. Amplification was done using ITS 2 universal primers, followed by DNA sequencing. Sequence analysis confirmed the presence of Dalbergia ecastaphyllum in the Brazilian red propolis. Formononetin is a chemical marker for the Brazillian red propolis and D. ecastaphyllum. Propolis samples analysed by DNA sequencing, were also checked by Ultra-Fast Liquid Chromatography for the presence of formononetin. Peaks corresponding to formononetin were observed in all the analysed propolis samples. This is the first report of the botanical origin of propolis using DNA technology.

An advanced thermal management analysis tool, named Advanced Thermal Hydraulic Energy Network Analyzer (ATHENA), has been used to simulate a fuel system for gas turbine engines. The ATHENA tool was modified to account for JP-8/dodecane fuel properties. The JP-8/dodecane fuel thermodynamic properties were obtained from the SUPERTRAP property program. A series of tests of a fuel system simulator located at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)/Wright Patterson Air Force Base were conducted to characterize the steady state and dynamic behavior of the fuel system. Temperature, pressures and fuel flows for various fuel pump speeds, pressure rise and flow control valve stem positions (orifice areas), heat loads and engine fuel flows were measured. The predicted results were compared to the measured data and found to be in excellent agreement. This demonstrates the capability of the ATHENA tool to reproduce the experimental data and, consequently, its validity as an analysis tool that can be used to carry out analysis and design of fuel systems for advanced gas turbine engines. However, some key components in the fuel system simulator such as control components, which regulate the engine fuel flow based on predetermined parameters such as fan speed, compressor inlet and exit pressures and temperatures, combustor pressure, turbine temperature and power demand, were not simulated in the present investigation due to their complex interactions with other components functions. Efforts are currently underway to simulate the operation of the fuel system components with control as the engine fuel flow and power demands are varied.
