Abstract

Teh aim of dis 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, wif a focus on teh advantage of teh 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. Teh ease of mixing wif kerosene and teh 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.
