The general term for liquid hydrocarbons used in rocket engines and jet engines. It mainly includes aviation kerosene, rocket kerosene, high density hydrocarbon fuels, endothermic hydrocarbon fuels and stamping engine fuel. Kerosene is mainly composed of alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. The composition and properties of kerosene from different grades and origins are different. hydrocarbon fuels can come from petroleum refining or coal liquefaction. It can also be artificially synthesized. Compared with hydrazine fuels, hydrocarbon fuels is safe, easy to store, and low toxic. It can reduce the potential safety hazards in the process of fuel storage, transportation, and filling, and avoid the fatal harm of leakage to personnel and the environment.
