摘要: There is a growing interest in the use of alternative fuels gas turbine engines to reduce emissions. Testing expensive when done on large-scale engine. In this study, re-commissioned small auxiliary power unit (APU) has been used test various blends Jet A-1, synthetic paraffinic kerosene (SPK) and diesel with as well eight other novel fuels. A detailed analysis performance, gaseous emissions particulate presented study. It observed that aromatic content general particular chemical composition compound plays vital role generation. SPK fuel shows substantially lower respect A. However, not all species aromatics negatively impact Gaseous measured are comparable for tested
