The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00095 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.28 SJR: 0.341 SNIP: 0.536 CiteScore™:: 1.9 H-Index: 57

ABSTRACT

Increasing oil prices and strict emission policies drive the need for cleaner, alternative energy sources. Gas-to-liquid (GTL) jet fuel, a synthetic jet fuel produced from natural gas using Fischer−Tropsch synthesis, has grabbed global attention due to its cleaner combustion aspects when compared to conventional jet fuels. Since the production methodology of GTL and conventional jet fuels are different, their chemical and physical properties are different from each other. Consequently, these differences can affect atomization, mixing, combustion, and pollutant formation in the combustion chamber. Atomization is the precursor to evaporation and mixing processes. Hence, it is important to study atomization in detail in order to gain a better understanding of the other processes that directly affect combustion and emission characteristics. In this work, the microscopic spray characteristics of two GTL fuels and conventional Jet A-1 fuel are investigated and compared with each other. The spray characteristics of these fuels are studied for three injection pressures at different spatial locations downstream of a pressure swirl nozzle exit using a planar-laser diagnostic technique known as global sizing velocimetry. The results demonstrate that the influence of change in the fuel physical properties is insignificant on the spray characteristics at high injection pressures. Furthermore, the spray characteristics of the GTL fuels are found to be similar to those of the conventional Jet A-1 fuel.
