Book Description
The performance (combustion efficiency and blowout) of a conventional turbojet fuel, MIL-F-5624 (JP-3), and a low-volatility, high-density hydrocarbon, monomethylnaphthalene, in a single vaporizing type combustor for variations in inlet conditions is presented in this report. The MIL-F-5624 type fuel burned over a wider range of operating conditions and gave combustion efficiencies 2 to 16 percent higher than monomethylnaphthalene. Heat-input rate had little effect on the combustion efficiency of each fuel in the range investigated.
