- Summary:
- Alternative fuels such as Fischer-Tropsch Synthesized Paraffinic Kerosene (FT-SPK) and Catalytic Hydrothermal Conversion Jet (CHCJ) are among the important sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) for future transportation. However, these alternative fuels often vary in their characteristics, depending on their feedstock and fuel production processes. Therefore, a detailed analysis of these alternative fuels' combustion, emissions, and efficiency must be performed under controlled experiments to understand the impact of fuel properties and operating conditions.This study used a single-cylinder research engine (SCE) with a compression ratio of 17:1. Extensive operating conditions were performed to determine the effect of each fuel on the engine performance, which can be fundamentally understood by fuel properties (e.g., cetane number, heat of combustion, and density) in comparison with Jet-A fuel. The experimental setup includes high-speed data acquisition for combustion analysis and gaseous and solid emissions benches for nitrogen oxides (NOX).Results suggested that an engine control management (ECM) strategy can potentially optimize the performance of these alternative jet fuels by compensating for differences in their fuel properties. This study aims to provide insights for future work on exploring different SAF fuels that are more environmentally friendly while meeting the required performance
