Experimental investigation of RP-3 thermal oxidation stability

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Experiments are performed to study surface coke deposition distribution and the influence of inlet mass velocity. The flowing RP-3 is stressed to 5 MPa, and heated up from 127°C to 427°C in a stainless steel tube (1.8 mm I.D., 2.2 mm O.D., 1Cr18Ni9Ti) with a constant heat flux. The influence of inlet Re is investigated with variation of inlet mass velocity of 0.39, 0.78, 1.17 and 1.56 g/(s·mm2). The results show that the RP-3 coke peak location shifts downstream as inlet Re increased, the average surface coke deposition rate is directly proportional to the 0.89th power of inlet Re, and coke deposition per mass declines first and then increases as inlet Re increases.
