the differences of the combustion and emission characteristics between coal-based jet fuel and petroleum-based RP-3 jet fuel were evaluated. The results showed that the coal-based jet fuel had better lean ignition and lean blowout performances; in addition
the combustion and emission characteristics of these two jet fuels exhibited the same trends when the fuel flow or exit temperature changed. However
the combustion and emission characteristics of the coal-based jet fuel were slightly lower than those of the RP-3 at the same fuel flow
furthermore
at the same exit temperature
the wall temperature of the coal-based jet fuel was lower than that of the RP-3.
