Fuel Boiling in Turbojet Reheat System Manifolds: A Description of Tests carried out to Investigate the Fuel Boiling Problem with AVTUR and AVTAG utilizing the Flow Number Concept

Abstract

SUMMARY This report describes briefly the problem of fuel boiling in reheat manifolds and the special tests which were carried out to investigate it. In order to analyse the test results the concept of a fuel manifold flow number was used. During these tests the two common types of aviation turbine fuels were used and the conditions at the onset of boiling were established.
