ABSTRACT

Oxygenated additives are proved to improve the property of an aviation fuel, such as reducing pernicious emissions and adjusting physical properties, and an appropriate alcohol is usually a typical candidate. To understand the properties of high energy-density hydrocarbon fuels with an alcohol, densities () and viscosities () of ternary system, cyclopentanol + exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (JP-10) + 1,3dimethyladamantane (1,3-DMA), and their corresponding binary systems, have been determined over the whole composition range at different temperatures T = (293.15 to 333.15) K and atmospheric pressure p = 0.1 MPa. The excess molar volumes (VmE) and the viscosity deviations () of the binary systems mixtures were calculated and fitted to Redlich-Kister equation while those of the ternary systems were calculated and fitted to four different semi-empirical equations. The results show that the addition of cyclopentanol can lead to a little higher density and a lower viscosity, which is beneficial to the design and performance of hydrocarbon fuels.
