Testing Modern Models of Aviation Fuel Surrogates on Experimental Fractional Distillation Data

A mathematical model for fractional distillation of aviation hydrocarbon fuel surrogates based on the Peng–Robinson cubic equation of state is proposed. Using the developed model, the fractional distillation of modern surrogates of aviation commercial oil and alternative fuel compositions proposed in the literature is modeled. The obtained results are compared with the experimental data on fractional distillation of aviation fuels. Surrogates, that best correspond to the experimental data, are identified.
