The synthetic biofuels basically met the main technical specifications of jet fuels based on the combustion heat, viscosity, freeze point and other characteristics of fuels.
Table 1 Specification of water-jet washing machine Characteristic Value Power supply AC 100V 50/60 Hz Regular discharge pressure Approximately 6.0 MPa Regular discharge water Approximately 270 l/h Power consumption 1000 W Body weight Approximately 4 kg.
According to APU specifications the freeze point of Jet A-1 is required to be lower than − 47 °C with minimum viscosity.
None of the 33 compounds without upgrading met the four ASTM D1655 specifications for Jet A and Jet A-1 fuel, but 3,3,5-trimethyldecane and limonene were very close.
To adhere to the freeze point specification maximum, the carbon number distribution of jet fuel mixtures would have to be decreased and the relative proportions of the C9 C11 components should be increased as the n-paraffin content of the mixtures is increased.
It is anticipated that the focus on fluidity of jet fuel at low temperatures will increase in the near future and that more stringent specifications may be applied to jet fuel products.
The obtained jet fuel satisfied the specification of ASTM 7566 standard.
A brief treatment of jet streams follows.
The coming of jet transport stimulated competition.
