Hydrocarbon jet fuels tend to form deposits at elevated temperatures that decrease heat exchanger efficiency and plug screens and filter elements. The Advanced Aircraft Fuel System Simulator provides generalized performance data, with respect to thermal stability, on various advanced fuels that will be used to correlate to small-scale test results and provide information on design criteria for future supersonic aircraft. In the report, the thermal stability of the fifth fuel (AFFB-12-68) TESTED IN THE SIMULATOR IS QUANTIFIED IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT OF DEPOSIT FORMED. The quantification of deposit formation is determined under cyclic conditions (mission profiles) and two types of steady-state test conditions (steady-state and steady-state-varied flow). (Author)
