Abstract
An experiment was conducted to study fuel injection characteristics of high boiling point test fuels (HBPTF), which are newly developed with higher boiling points than conventional aviation fuels, for various injection pressures when the fuel was heated to the temperature higher than their boiling points. The injection characteristics with elevating fuel temperature were quantified by the flow coefficient (${\alpha}$) and the cavitation number ($K_c$), and it was found that the trends between ${\alpha}$ and $K_c$ for various fuels were very similar with each other. In addition, compared with a conventional fuel, HBPTFs not only have higher fuel temperatures at which the effect of fuel boiling on the injection initiates, but also are less affected by the fuel boiling inside the injectors at temperatures over the boiling point.
