Photographic data on the influence of the composition, preparation method, time and fuel system on the size of water droplets in a fuel-water emulsion

The article presents the data collected during the research aimed at understanding the influence of the composition, mixing time and time between the production and application of the fuel-water emulsion, as well as the influence of the fuel pump of the miniature gas turbine GTM-120 on the droplet size of the fuel-water emulsion. Emulsions with a water content of 3 to 15% and an emulsifier content of 1 to 3% were tested. The basic fuel in the conducted tests was Jet-A1 with the addition of 5% oil. The data presented include microscopic photos of emulsions in fifteen combinations of the amount of water and emulsifier, photos of emulsions pumped by a fuel pump operating at loads corresponding to the engine running from idle to full power. The data also include photos of the emulsions during their production, the time of mixing the water with the remaining ingredients, and photos of the emulsions the day after their preparation.
