Abstract

In this study, the ignition characteristics of bio jet fuel (Bio-7629, Bio-5172) produced by F-T process and petroleum-based jet fuel (Jet A-1) were compared and analyzed. The ignition delay time of each fuel was measured by means of a combustion research unit (CRU) and the results were explained through an analysis of the properties and composition of the fuel. The ignition delay time of Bio-5172 was the shortest while that of Jet A-1 was the longest because Jet A-1 had the highest surface tension and Bio-5172 had the lowest viscosity in terms of fuel properties that could affect the physical ignition delay time. As a result of the analysis of the constituents' type and ratio, 22.8% aromatic compounds in Jet A-1 could generate benzyl radical, which had low reactivity during the oxidation reaction, affecting the increase of ignition delay time. Both Bio-7629 and Bio-5172 were composed of paraffin only, with the ratio of n-/iso- being 0.06 and 0.80, respectively. The lower the degree of branching is in paraffin, the faster the isomerization of peroxy radical is produced during oxidation, which could determine the propagation rate of the ignition. Therefore, Bio-5172, composed of more n-paraffin, possesses shorter ignition delay time compared with Bio-7629.

본 연구에서는 F-T 공정을 통해 합성하여 제조한 바이오항공유(Bio-7629, Bio-5172)와 기존에 사용 중인 석유계항공유(Jet A-1)의 점화특성을 비교하여 분석하였다. Combustion research unit (CRU) 장비를 활용하여 각 항공유의 점화지연시간을 측정하였고, 그 결과를 연료의 물성 및 구성 화합물에 대한 분석을 통해 해석하고자 하였다. 점화지연시간은 Bio-5172가 가장 짧게 측정되었으며 Jet A-1이 가장 길게 측정되었다. 이는 물리적 점화지연시간에 영향을 줄 수 있는 연료의 물성 측면에서 Jet A-1이 가장 큰 표면장력을 가지며 Bio-5172가 가장 낮은 점도를 갖기 때문인 것으로 해석된다. 또한, 각 연료를 구성하는 화합물의 종류 및 비율에 대하여 분석한 결과, 실험 대상 바이오항공유에 없는 방향족화합물이 Jet A-1에는 약 22.8%의 비율로 존재함을 확인하였다. 이는 산화 과정 시에 비교적 반응성이 낮은 benzyl radical을 생성하여 점화지연시간이 길게 측정되는 데에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단된다. Bio-7629와 Bio-5172는 paraffin으로만 구성되어 있으며, n-/iso-의 값은 각각 0.06, 0.80으로 큰 차이를 보였다. 가지화 된 정도가 낮은 paraffin일수록 산화 시에 생성되는 peroxy radical의 이성질화가 빠르게 진행되어 점화의 전파속도 또한 빨라진다. 따라서 n-paraffin의 함량이 비교적 높은 Bio-5172의 경우에 점화지연시간 또한 짧게 측정된 것으로 해석된다.
