What else can I help you with?
How hot will a fire get when fueled with jet fuel?
When we ignite the jet fuel,the temperature can go as high as 800 Oc and may come down to approx 600 Oc
Is it safe to use fan to remove jet fuel fumes?
Yes, it is safe to use a fan for this. Jet fuel is not easy to ignite.
Does temperature variation affect jet fuel density?
Yes, temperature variation can affect jet fuel density. As temperature increases, jet fuel density decreases, and as temperature decreases, jet fuel density increases. This is why fuel temperature is closely monitored and managed in aircraft to ensure proper fuel density for safe and efficient operation.
Why would a car refueled with jet fuel stall?
Because the spark plugs cannot ignite the jet fuel. Jet fuel is not comparable to a really high octane gasoline, as many people seem to mistakenly think. Jet fuel is essentially #1 diesel fuel.
What temp would jet fuel Bern and max temp?
Jet fuel, specifically Jet A, has a flash point of around 38-40°C (100-104°F) and can ignite at temperatures as low as this. The maximum burning temperature of jet fuel in an open flame can reach approximately 980-1,500°C (1,800-2,700°F), depending on the conditions. However, in practical scenarios, the combustion temperature can vary based on factors like air-fuel mixture and pressure.
What is needed for a fire to kindle?
Fuel, air, and a temperature high enough to ignite the fuel.
What temperature does jet fuel freeze?
-146f
Can a spark cause jet fuel to explode?
A spark alone typically won't cause jet fuel to explode, as jet fuel is not highly volatile and requires specific conditions for combustion. However, if the spark occurs in an environment with a sufficient concentration of fuel vapor and an appropriate air mixture, it could ignite the fuel, leading to a fire or explosion. Factors such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of an ignition source play crucial roles in the potential for an explosive reaction.
What is the flammability range of jet fuel?
The flammability range of jet fuel, specifically Jet A and Jet A-1, is typically between 0.7% and 5% by volume in air. This means that jet fuel can ignite and sustain combustion when its concentration falls within this range. Below 0.7%, the mixture is too lean to ignite, while above 5%, it becomes too rich for combustion. Proper handling and storage are essential to avoid creating conditions that could lead to fire or explosion.
Does temperature variation significantly affect volume of jet fuel?
It depends on how significant the temperature variation is. Jet fuel has a coefficient of thermal expansion of 0.00099/C. That means that for every 10 degree Celsius rise in temperature the volume will increase by almost 1%.
For a hot surface to ignite a liquid fuel the surface temperature may have to be how much over the published ignition temperature of the fuel?
200 degrees
What is the minimum temperature in a diesel engine cylinder for the fuel to ignite?
35 c
