Jet A-1 fuel’s autoignition behaviour was examined experimentally in a newly developed rapid compression machine (RCM) at the University of Sheffield. The experiment was conducted at a compressed temperature at compressed temperatures of 697 K ⩽ Tc ⩽ 796 K, compressed pressure of 6 and 10 bar, and under lean and stoichiometric conditions (φ = 0.75 and 1.0). The initial chamber wall temperature was varied from 115°C - 135°C. The effect of the compressed temperature, compressed pressure and equivalence ratio was seen to have influence on the ignition delay time (IDTs) of Jet A-1. In the experimental condition studied, Jet A-1 exhibited an Arrhenius behaviour that is increasing the compressed temperature, compressed pressure and equivalence ratio decreases monotonically with IDTs. Evidence of two-stage ignition delay and absence of Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) behaviour was observed within the condition studied. |
