  2. Autoignition temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoignition_temperature

    The autoignition temperature or self-ignition temperature, often called spontaneous ignition temperature or minimum ignition temperature (or shortly ignition temperature) and formerly also known as kindling point, of a substance is the lowest temperature at which it spontaneously ignites in a normal atmosphere without an external source of ignition, such as a flame or spark.

    Jet fuel or aviation turbine ... characteristics and high autoignition temperature to prevent preignition ... then the Rockwell B-1B Lancer to use the fuel. To test ...

  4. Flash point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_point

    A diesel-fueled engine has no ignition source (such as the spark plugs in a gasoline engine), so diesel fuel can have a high flash point, but must have a low autoignition temperature. Jet fuel flash points also vary with the composition of the fuel. Both Jet A and Jet A-1 have flash points between 38 and 66 °C (100 and 151 °F), close to that ...

  5. JP-4 - Wikipedia

    It was the primary U.S. Air Force jet fuel between 1951 and 1995. ... (−60 °C), and its maximum burning temperature was 6,670 °F (3,688 °C). [citation needed]

  6. Aviation fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_fuel

    Jet fuel is a gas turbine fuel used in propeller and jet fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. It has a low viscosity at low temperature, has limited ranges of density and calorific value, burns cleanly, and remains chemically stable when heated to high temperature. [15]

  7. Calculated Ignition Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculated_Ignition_Index

    Both CII and CCAI are calculated from the density and kinematic viscosity of the fuel. CII was developed by BP to calculate the autoignition capacity of heavy fuel oils (HFO). It is calculated using the measured kinematic viscosity V (cSt or mm 2 /s) of a given fuel determined at temperature t (°C) and the density ρ 15 at 15°C (kg/m 3). [1]

  8. Fire accelerant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_accelerant

    Fuel oil no. 1, known by various names including kerosene, range oil, coal oil, or Jet-A (aviation) fuel, encompasses a carbon range of C9 to C17. Its flash point ranges between 110 degrees F and 162 degrees F (42 degrees C - 72 degrees C), while its ignition temperature is recorded at 410 degrees F (210 degrees C).

  9. Cleveland open-cup method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_open-cup_method

    The lowest temperature at which a small test flame passing over the surface of the liquid causes the vapor to ignite is considered the chemical's flash point. This apparatus may also be used to determine the chemical's fire point which is considered to have been reached when the application of the test flame produces at least five continuous ...
