Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation was conducted using a single combustor from a 4600-pound-thrust turbojet engine to determine the amount of carbon deposition of AN-F-58 fuels and the effect of carbon formations in the combustor on the altitude operational limits. Three fuel blends conforming to AN-F-58 specification were prepared in order to determine the influence of boiling temperature and of aromatic content on carbon deposition. The carbon-forming tendencies of the three AN-F-58 fuels and of AN-F-32 fuel were compared at simulated altitudes of 20,000 and 35,000 feet, engine speed of 90-percent normal rated, and flight Mach number of 0.
