Density, Speed of Sound, and Viscosity Measurements of Alternative Aviation Turbine Fuels

March 27, 2011

Author(s)

Tara J. Fortin, Stephanie L. Outcalt

High fuel costs, the need to secure supply chains, and environmental concerns, have all led to an increasing interest in nonpetroleum sources such as natural gas, coal, and biomass, as potential alternatives to petroleum based aviation fuel feedstocks

Density and Speed of Sound Measurements of Hexadecane

January 7, 2010

Author(s)

Stephanie L. Outcalt, Arno R. Laesecke, Tara J. Fortin

The density and speed of sound of hexadecane have been measured using two instruments. Both instruments use the vibrating-tube method for measuring density. Ambient pressure (83 kPa) density and speed of sound measurements were carried out with a rapid
