Journal Title: VADYBA - Year 2013, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
At Department of Engineering management of The General Jonas Žemaitis Military Academy of Lithuania scientific project „The research on possibilities of using aviation and other alternative fuels in ground transport means of Lithuanian army“ together with the scientists of Power and transport machinery engineering institute of Aleksandras Stulginskis university was performed. In order to recommend the jet fuel for diesel engines powering in the Centre of quality research laboratory located at Ltd. Company „ORLEN Lietuva“ the quality parameters of fuels were determined: diesel fuel (NATO code F-54) according standard LST EN 590, jet fuel (NATO code F-35 and F-34) according standard ASTM-D 1655 and U.S.MIL-DTL-83133E and the jet fuel treated with additives. Basic quality parameters of alternative jet fuels tested were analyzed and compared with baseline diesel fuel parameters. It was determined that the use of additives the jet fuel parameters improves up to the level, which satisfies corresponding characteristics of the normal diesel fuel: cetane number, lubricating properties, net heating value per unit of mass, sulphur concentration and thus can be used in ground transport vehicles.
