Comparison of aircraft engine performance and emission analysis using alternative fuels

Following the successful flights of many commercial aircraft running with alternative fuels, the present study focuses on aircraft engine performance and emission analysis. The analysis of aircraft engine performance (thrust, fuel flow and specific fuel consumption) for different blended mixing rati...
