... varies significantly within jet fuels. With the expected increasing prevalence of alternative jet fuels, additional variability is expected. DCN is usually assigned to fuels using ASTM methods that use large equipment like the ignition quality tester (IQT), which consumes a lot of fuel and is cumbersome...

... ignition and enhancing combustion of different cetane number jet fuels during high-altitude operation. EACI employs an ignition assistant (IA), which is an advanced glow-plug design with the ability to sustain higher temperatures for prolonged periods, to provide the necessary ignition energy for precise...
