Three fuels conforming to AN-F-58 specification were investigated in order to determine the influence of boiling temperatures and aromatic content on altitude performance in single combustor of a 4600-pound-thrust turbojet engine. Combustion efficiencies of the three AN-F-58 fuels were approximately equal at each simulated engine condition for altitudes from 5,000 to 50,000 feet, 90-percent normal rated engine speed, and flight Mach numbers of 0.0 and 0.6.

The combustion efficiency and the altitude operational limits of three liquid hydrocarbon fuels having high volumetric energy content (decalin, tetralin, and monomethylnaphthalene) were compared with an AN-F-58 fuel in a single tubular combustor from a J33 turbojet engine. The investigation covered a range of simulated engine conditions for altitudes from 20,000 to 60,000 feet; 42- to 107-percent normal rated engine speed; and a flight Mach number of 0.6. The independent effects of combustor-inlet-air temperature, pressure, and mass air flow on the combustion efficiency of the fuels were determined around a standard combustion-inlet condition.
