Jet Fuel Thermal Stability: A Workshop Held at Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio, November 1-2, 1978

Front Cover
National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1979 - Aircraft gas-turbines - 154 pages
Various aspects of the thermal stability problem associated with the use of broadened-specification and nonpetroleum-derived turbine fuels are addressed. The state of the art is reviewed and the status of the research being conducted at various laboratories is presented. Discussions among representatives from universities, refineries, engine and airframe manufacturers, airlines, the Government, and others are presented along with conclusions and both broad and specific recommendations for future stability research and development. It is concluded that significant additional effort is required to cope with the fuel stability problems which will be associated with the potentially poorer quality fuels of the future such as broadened specification petroleum fuels or fuels produced from synthetic sources.
