Abstract:

This report describes the results of an experimental effort on evaluation of FM-9 antimisting kerosene (AHK) variants developed by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) to improve the dissolution rate of mist suppression polymers in Jet A. Dissolution rate characteristics are important for the proposed AMK in-line blending associated with the aircraft fueling operation to minimize refueling turnaround time, enhance real-time quality control, and potentially simplify the blending equipment design requirements. The results obtained with these variants are compared with those obtained with batch blended ~(-9 prepared by ICI. The key findings of this effort are: (1) The dissolution rate of fl1-9 variants (most batches) is better than FM-9. (2) The feasibility of single pass in-line blending for all additives under investigation Has demonstrated. (3) Powder particle size uniformity and slurry viscosity need optimization, otherwise the benefits of the faster dissolution rate cannot be realized. (4) Flmv rate measured at 10 psi head pressure with 1\.t>:K was approximately 40 percent lower than that of Jet A at ambient (20°C) and low temperature (-35°C). Freshly in-line blended A}~K fuels pumped as well as equilibrated batch blended fuel.
