Download or read book Jet Fuel Safety and Flash Point written by HW. Carhart and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various nonequilibrium combustion conditions are examined and evaluated regarding their effect on safety. Tank flammability limits are indicated to depend on the ratio of empty to liquid volume when fuels of different "light ends" content are used. Altitude effects and mist ignitability are discussed as is the effect of volatility on fire spread above a fuel pool. Because information is only available for Jet A and Jet B type fuels, the author offers his estimate of the effect of kerosine flash point reduction on the various properties of importance. If the use of such fuels is to be considered, performance data should be obtained to assess the impact of flash reduction on fuel handling and performance safety.

This book was released on 1997-08-18 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reduction of the fire hazard of fuel is critical to improving survivability in impact-survivable aircraft accidents. Despite current fire prevention and mitigation approaches, fuel flammability can overwhelm post-crash fire scenarios. The Workshop on Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety was held November 19-20, 1996 to review the current state of development, technological needs, and promising technology for the future development of aviation fuels that are most resistant to ignition during a crash. This book contains a summary of workshop discussions and 11 presented papers in the areas of fuel and additive technologies, aircraft fuel system requirements, and the characterization of fuel fires.

Download or read book Fuel Flash Point and Airline Maintenance Practices written by JJ. Brenneman and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No clearly defined codes govern the safety requirements of aircraft hangar maintenance practices. The experience of United Airlines is typical of other air carriers. When piston aircraft were serviced, aviation gasoline was removed and a flash point base oil Class II liquid substituted in order to work on aircraft inside the hangar. The base oil flash point was monitored. Use of Jet A fuel made this procedure unnecessary; outside defueling is not required. If a reduced flash point jet fuel (a Class I flammable liquid) were used in aircraft, the former base oil procedure might have to be reinstituted which would increase costs. Airport fire officials and insurance underwriters would determine under what conditions a reduced flash kerosine could be handled. Probable facility changes include venting wing tanks outdoors, fitting of flame arrestors on tank and container vents, closer control of ignition sources, and general improvement in hangar ventilation.

Download or read book Jet Fuel Flash Point Reduction written by KH. Strauss and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forecasts of petroleum product demands show greater growth rates for distillates including jet fuels than for gasolines. Jet fuels are in direct competition with other distillates for the same part of the barrel; increasing jet fuel volume by incorporating gasoline fractions would decrease flash point. Consideration of a flash point reduction in jet fuel specifications is a controversial subject. A survey conducted by ASTM Technical Division J on Aviation Fuels of Committee D02 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants showed wide disagreement on the technical factors governing flash point in specifications. The symposium was developed to respond to the findings of this survey.
Download or read book Some Notes on Sparks and Ignition of Fuels written by Franklin A. Fisher and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report compliments a concurrent analysis of the electromagnetic field threat to the fuel system of a transport aircraft. The accompanying effort assessed currents, voltages and power levels that may be induced upon fuel tank wiring from radio transmitters (inside and outside the aircraft). In addition to this, it was also essential to determine how much voltage, current, or power is required to create a fuel-vapor ignition hazard. The widely accepted minimum guideline for aircraft fuel-vapor ignition is the application of a 0.2 milliljoule energy level. However, when considering radio frequency (RF) sources, this guideline is seriously inadequate. This report endeavors to bridge the gap between a traditional understanding of electrical breakdown, heating and combustion; and supplement the knowledge with available information regarding aircraft fuel-vapor ignition by RF sources.

Download or read book Sustainable Energy and Economics in an Aging Population written by Kozo Torasan Mayumi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses current challenges in Japan, focusing on the nation’s rapidly aging population and low birth rate, along with persistent public bond issues with heavy interest payments, the potential collapse of social security systems, and income inequality, as well as the global picture. In turn, it examines the accessibility of global fossil fuels and feasibility of large-scale solar energy use. A new theory of money, interest, and capital is put forward, together with a proposal for an alternative system of international monetary cooperation, to promote a more sustainable and equitable world. Specific topics discussed include • the inverted population pyramid, due to the dramatic change in human life spans and declining birth rates; • the rapidly shrinking workforce, aging population, and declining GDP share sourced from industry; • disproportionate debt expansion due to public bond issues and coping with a persistent budget deficit; • the potential collapse of social security systems combined with income inequality; and • how to mitigate these bio-economic predicaments. Global Energy Sources offers an essential guide for policymakers, economists, researchers, and all those concerned with establishing a sustainable and equitable society from both energy and monetary perspectives. Further, it will be of interest to readers around the world, as the lessons learned from Japan are crucial to other developed societies that may eventually face the same types of challenge.
