Thermophysical Properties Measurements of Rocket Propellants RP-1 and RP-2

September 1, 2009
Author(s)
Stephanie L. Outcalt, Arno R. Laesecke, Karin Brumback
The density, speed of sound, and viscosity of two rocket propellants (RP-1 and RP-2) have been measured. The combined range of the data is from 270 K to 470 K with pressures to 40 MPa. The estimated uncertainty of the density data is 0.1 % and that of the

Density and Speed of Sound Measurements of Jet A and S-8 Aviation Turbine Fuels

The density and speed of sound were measured for three compositions of aviation jet fuel A, and a synthetic fuel (S-8) derived from the Fischer-Tropsch process. Measurements of density and speed of sound were carried out at ambient pressure (83 kPa) with a

Multichannel Decomposition and Isomerization of Octyl Radicals

October 9, 2008

Wing Tsang, William S. McGivern, Jeffrey A. Manion
The thermal cracking patterns from the decomposition and isomerization of octyl-1 radicals have been determined from the pyrolysis of n-octyl iodide in single pulse shock tube experiments at temperatures in the 850-1000 K range and pressures near 2 bar
