Abstract | Engine starting at extremes of cold ambient and fuel temperatures are a concern to both military and commercial operators of jet engines, but the military in particular needs the capability to quick start under very cold conditions. The ongoing worldwide conversion to JP8 fuel is compromising this ability for older engines developed for use on wide-cut JP4 fuel. The greatly reduced volatility and increased viscosity of JP8 fuel significantly impacts fuel spray angle and droplet size at start conditions resulting in over-long and aborted starts in cold climates. A program was carried out by Pratt & Whitney and Textron Fuel Systems to investigate and improve the spray qualities of a dual orifice pressure atomizing fuel injector of a commonly used military jet engine in the start to low power range. The primary fuel injector portion was modified to produce a finer droplet size and wider spray angle. A hybrid design with an aerating secondary was also tested. Droplet diameter and spray angles were measured to −40°F (−40°C) temperatures. Variations in fuel flow rate and fuel type were also investigated. It was found that cold fuel had an adverse effect on spray qualities for the all pressure atomizing nozzles, but the hybrid injector was less affected and produced superior sprays at all conditions on the primary portion. Improvements in the all pressure atomizing design resulted in lesser but still significant benefits. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
