Thermodynamic, Transport, and Chemical Properties of Reference JP-8

July 14, 2010
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Marcia L. Huber, Arno R. Laesecke, Eric W. Lemmon, Mark O. McLinden, Stephanie L. Outcalt, Richard A. Perkins, Beverly L. Smith, Jason A. Widegren
This report contains a summary of research conducted to develop a standard or accepted set of thermophysical properties for the aviation kerosene, JP-8. This report is the culmination of a three year effort that included the participation of most of the

Thermal Decomposition of RP-2 with Stabilizing Additives

May 7, 2010
Author(s)
Jason A. Widegren, Thomas J. Bruno
The thermal decomposition of RP-2 and mixtures of RP-2 with four different additives has been investigated. The mixtures with RP-2 contained one of the following: 5 % /trans/-decahydronaphthalene (decalin); 5 % 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (tetralin); 5 %

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of Propylcyclohexane

January 21, 2009
Author(s)
Jason A. Widegren, Thomas J. Bruno
As part of a large-scale thermophysical property measurement project, the decomposition kinetics of propylcyclohexane was investigated. Decomposition reactions were performed at 375, 400, 425, and 450 °C in stainless steel ampoule reactors. At each

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of the Aviation Turbine Fuel Jet-A

Qian Dong, Chris D. Muzny, Andrei F. Kazakov, Vladimir Diky, Joe W. Magee, Jason A. Widegren, Robert D. Chirico, Kenneth N. Marsh, Michael D. Frenkel
The development, scope, and functionality of the web-based ionic liquids database, ILThermo, are described. The database is available free to the public, and aims to provide users worldwide with up-to-date information from publications of experimental

Thermophysical Properties Measurements and Models for Rocket Propellant RP-1: Phase I

February 1, 2007
Author(s)
Joe W. Magee, Thomas J. Bruno, Daniel G. Friend, Marcia L. Huber, Arno D. Laesecke, Eric Lemmon, Mark O. McLinden, Richard A. Perkins, J?rg Baranski, Jason A. Widegren
Accurate knowledge of thermophysical properties is a prerequisite to design efficient and cost-effective rocket engine systems that use the kerosene rocket propellant designated RP-1. A robust properties model that is based on reliable experimental
