Diffusion coefficients of UAE Jet fuel in air using harsh environment condition

Abstract

Vapor diffusion of aviation jet fuel (JET A-1) in air was measured in harsh environmental condition. . The diffusion coefficient of JET A-1 was equal to 5.55×10-7 m2/s at operating temperature of 50 oC. The main physical properties of JET A-1 were measured and compared with other light oil products. It is believed that the diffusion of aviation fuel in air is affected by temperature, vapor pressure, and density. The diffusivity coefficient can be regarded as one of the main factor that needs to be mentioned in risk assessment of this material and especially in harsh environment countries
