EXPERIMENTAL AND SIMULATED PERFORMANCE STUDY OF A SMALL-SCALE GAS TURBINE ENGINE USING JET A-1 AND PALM OIL BIODIESEL BLENDS
The experimental and simulated performance of an Armfield CM4 turbojet engine was investigated for conventional Jet A-1 fuel as well as its blends with palm oil biodiesel (PME), a form of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). The volumetric blends of PME with Jet A-1 are 20, 50, 70 and 100% (B20, B50, B70 and B100). Fuel hea...
