Loop system for creating jet fuel vapor standards used in the calibration of infrared spectrophotometers and gas chromatographs.
TL;DR: Comparisons of nominal concentrations in the exposure system to those determined by infrared spectrophotometry were in 92–95% agreement, showing the loop system to be a viable method for creating jet fuel vapor standards for calibrating instruments.

simulation of intelligent airborne sensor for interting system with compensation of temperature and presssure
TL;DR: In this paper, a tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) was used to measure the oxygen concentration in the fuel tank of an aircraft, and the experimental results show that TDLAS can obtain higher accuracy by adopting the second harmonic detection method under noisy conditions, and can adapt to the high temperature and high pressure environment of the aircraft fuel tank.

James F. Ely,M. L. Huber +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a predictive corresponding states model for the thermo· physical properties of pure refrigerants and refrigerant mixtures is developed, which uses shape factors to insure conformality among the various components and R134a is used as the reference fluid.
Jet A Explosion Experiments: Laboratory Testing
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of experiments and analyses on the flammability of Jet A (aviation kerosene) in air are described. But the focus is on measuring basic explosion parameters as a function of fuel amount and temperature.
