The aviation sector has begun to adopt alternative fuels in an effort reduce net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their impact on climate change. While many lab flight-based studies have been completed for hydro-treated esters fatty acids (HEFA) Fischer–Tropsch (FT) fuels, only one study conducted alcohol-to-jet synthetic paraffinic kerosene (ATJ-SPK) fuels. Here we report results from the Civil Aviation Alternate Fuels Contrails Emissions with high blend Biojet (CAAFCEB) project which was...
A method to determine the cutoff diameter and counting efficiency of single-particle optical particle counters (OPC) is presented. An aerodynamic aerosol classifier (AAC) coupled with an atomizer was used generate monodisperse dioctyl phthalate particles a condensation counter (CPC) as reference instrument. This accurate for capturing OPCs at lower size ranges determining diameter. The CPC found be poor instrument larger than 1 µm in which case inkjet generator (IAG) source Two different...
