The properties of the fuels determine the quality of the combustion process and implicitly the performance of the turbojet engine. The optimal heterogeneous combustion process of an aviation fuel is ensured by a stoichiometric ratio (fuel/fuel), a combustion temperature and a maximum loading degree of the combustion chamber. The article includes a numerical analysis instrumented with Gasturb software that highlights the influence of fuel quality and combustion process characteristics of a Rolls Royce Viper turbojet engine on its performance.
