Sommario/riassunto

This book is a modern, comprehensive manual for fuel handling, quality control, problem-solving, and remediation methods. An international collaborative effort of experts from many fields, it provides operational insight and a wealth of technical and practical knowledge. Aviation Fuel Problems and Solutions includes chapters on numerous issues fuel engineers face using the "well-to-wheel" approach, including; the effect of crude oil on fuel quality; refinery/distribution additives; issues that can arise during storage and transportation, pumping and filtration; typical challenges in military applications; laboratory methods for investigations; contamination and compatibility research; and aerospace fuel systems failure analysis. In addition, a specific section is dedicated to modern sustainable aviation fuel approval and processes as the industry transitions to a low carbon world. This handbook will provide a thorough reference book for engineers, researchers, and decision makers alike.
