JP-10 (fuel) explained

JP-10 fuel - (Jet Propellant 10), is a jet fuel, specified and used mainly as a gas turbine fuel in missiles. Despite being designed for military purposes, it is not a kerosene based fuel. It is a gas turbine fuel for missiles.[1] It contains mainly exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (a synthetic fuel), and adamantane. However, it is usually classed as a single component fuel, as well as a hydrocarbon.[2] It is produced by catalytic hydrogenation of dicyclopentadiene and then isomerization. It superseded JP-9 because of a lower temperature service limit.[1] Its main use is in the Tomahawk missiles.[3]

The Russian equivalent is called detsilin.

Chemical properties of JP-10 fuel

Uses

JP-10 absorbs heat energy, so is endothermic with a relatively high density of 940 kg/m3. It has a low freezing point of less than and the flash point is . The high energy density of 39.6 MJ/L makes it ideal for military aerospace applications - its primary use. The ignition and burn chemistry has been extensively studied.[6] [7] [8] The exo isomer also has a low freezing point.[9] [10] Its other properties have also been studied extensively.[11] [12] [13] [14] [15]

Even though its uses are mainly for the military, the relatively high cost has meant research has been undertaken to find lower costs routes including the use of cellulosic materials.[16]
