The ice formation in the fuel delivery system might be highly affected by hydro-thermal conditions such as cooling rate, flow condition, and etc. This study investigated the effects of hydro-thermal environments on ice crystallization. Ice formation tests were conducted under various temperatures, cooling rates, and flow conditions. The jet fuel was cooled down to -38 ℃ with different cooling rates and flow conditions. The formed ice particles in jet fuel were sampled and observed in a cold room. The various shapes of ice crystals were found according to the hydro-thermal condition.5 pagesPDFenUniversity of PretoriaHydro-thermal effectsIce formationDissolved waterAviation jet fuelPresentation
