Three-dimensional fluid flow in JFTOT (Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation Tester)

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6612424
This paper describes flow and temperature distributions in the Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation Tester (JFTOT), a standard qualification apparatus for examining thermal stability of jet fuels. A three-dimensional numerical analysis is presented in this paper performed with the KIVA code. This work represents a preliminary attempt to calibrate a Computational Fluid Dynamics/Chemistry (CFDC) model using existing data from a modified JFTOT. Due to the limited amount of data, the deposition model used in this study is a global type Arrhenius relationship. Upon the findings of future JFTOT experiments, the relevant parameters to mass transfer, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics can be combined to define the thermal stability of jet fuel with a higher degree of accuracy. 13 refs., 7 figs.
