Abstract

A multi-surrogate fuel known as Bannersol consisting of C10 to C14 constituents which are representative classes of hydrocarbon found in Jet fuel is investigated in a newly designed pneumatically release rapid compression machine refer as SHEF-PRRCM. The study was carried out at lean and stoichiometric conditions within the compressed temperature range, Tc of 723 K– 847 K. The influence of pressure, temperature and equivalence ratio was seen on the oxidation of Bannersol.  The results showed that at the conditions studied no evidence of the onset of the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) and two-stage ignition behaviour was observed. A comparison of Bannersol with Jet A-1 showed that Banner has higher reactivity than Jet A-1 mainly attributed to the paraffinic content of Bannersol.
