Research abstract
A non-catalytic JP-8 reformer is proposed. The Swiss Roll reformer very effectively recirculates heat to optimize the reforming efficiency of thermal partial oxidation reaction without involving any catalyst and external energy. The advantages are: 1. No catalyst associated issues such as poisoning and degradation; 2. Minimum subsystems required to operate; 3. No need for water management and steam generation; 4. Self-sustained, no need for external energy input; 5. Fast startup; 6. Extremely compact and light weight. These features make the proposed reforming technology suitable for a reliable, compact, JP-8 reformer used in the battlefield.
