Experimental investigation on gas turbine engine performance using alternative fuel

The usage of fossil fuels is a significant contributor to carbon emissions in the aviation industry. Therefore, it is essential to identify alternative energy sources to power modern aircraft. This paper examines the application of biofuels as aviation fuel, which has a lower lifecycle emission comp...
