preliminary experimental analysis of alcoholkerosene blend for commercial aviation

The aim of this work is to provide insight into alcohol-kerosene fuels and their promising use as an alternative in commercial aviation. a detailed chemical and physical experimental analysis is drawn, with a focus on the advantage of the isopropanol-kerosene blend. despite reported beneficial isopropanol effects on retarding fuel combustion, knocking prevention, and much lower emissions, few investigations managed to offer clear prospects for such an alternative commercial aviation fuel. the ease of mixing with kerosene and the advantage of improved freezing points overcome negative effects of volatility and corrosion for low isopropanol percentage and makes it a strong candidate for alternative jet fuels.
