Surrogate Mixtures to Represent Complex Aviation and Rocket Fuels

Surrogate mixtures of one to 10 hydrocarbons that have similar properties to aviation fuels are desirable for experimental and computationaltractability and reproducibility. However, aviation fuels, such as Jet A, JP-8, and JP-5, contain hundreds of hydrocarbons. This paper describes appropriate “surrogate” mixtures to reproduce the behavior of multicomponent aviation fuels. Surrogate mixtures from the literature and their applicability to various situations are summarized.
