Electrostatic spark ignition-source hazard in airplane crashes

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the hazard of igniting airplane crash fires by electrostatic sparks, which are generated when detached airplane parts fly through clouds of dust and fuel mist. Within the limits of variables studied, the rates with which airplane wreckage collected a charge were directly proportional to the rate at which clay dust or fuel mist was intercepted. Results regarding the experimental charging of airplane parts, electrostatic ignition hazard, and investigation of … more

Correlation of laboratory smoke test with carbon deposition in turbojet combustors

Description: Report presenting a correlation of carbon deposition of 19 fuels in a turbojet combustor as a function of the boiling point and of the flame height at the sooting point of the fuels in a simple wick lamp for a particular combustor operating at a single set of conditions. Two similar investigations with different combustors, operating conditions, and nine different fuels yielded similar correlations on the same graph.
