Abstract
Liquid hydrocarbon fuels are gathering increasing attention as candidates for a scramjet engine fuel. Experimental researches on supersonic combustion of kerosene have been conducted in model scramjet combustors. Through these works, understanding of combustion characteristics of kerosene have been revealed on some level, and so we decided to work on other kinds of liquid hydrocarbon fuels in order to explore effects of fuel properties on supersonic combustion performances, especially self-ignition and flame-holding. In addition, comparing the results of new fuels with kerosene, the relationship between fuel properties and supersonic combustion characteristics was discussed.
