Evaluation of alternative jet fuels’ efficiency for reduction of exhaust gases emissions
Santrauka
The work is devoted to the study of environmental efficiency of the use of alternative aviation fuels, with the aim of reduction of the level of exhaust gases emission. To achieve this, aviation fuels were mixed with rapeseed and camelina oils based biocomponents. To begin with, the physicochemical properties of the tested fuel samples were compared with those of traditional jet fuel and standard requirements. Then composition of the chemical elements for all fuel samples was investigated and the CO2, H2O, SO2 emission indices for each fuel sample were calculated from the data obtained. On the basis of all the data we obtained, we calculated the exhaust gases emissions for each fuel sample and concluded that the effectiveness of the use of alternative aviation fuels to reduce the level of exhaust gases emissions.
