The aim of this work is to analyse various fuels used in the aerospace and aeronautic industry from a greenness perspective. Most of the propellants currently in use have a massive impact on the environment. For this reason, the aim of this project is to try to define the concept of greenness as precisely as possible by some green parameters that allow an analysis of the chosen propellants from an energy and catalytic point of view. In addition, an analysis was made of the possibility of increasing the energy content of HVO by introducing aluminium and aluminium oxide nanoparticles in different percentages and particle sizes. The implications in various industries, such as automotive, aerospace and shipbuilding, make this topic relevant in several fields.
Lo scopo di questo lavoro è analizzare diversi carburanti utilizzati in ambito aeronautico e aerospaziale dal punto di vista della greenness. La maggior parte dei propellenti attualmente in uso ha un impatto massiccio sull'ambiente. Per questo motivo, l'obiettivo di questo progetto è cercare di definire con più precisione possibile il concetto di greenness attraverso alcuni parametri che consentono un'analisi dei propellenti scelti dal punto di vista energetico e catalitico. Inoltre, è stata fatta un'analisi circa la possibilità di aumentare il contenuto energetico dell'HVO, introducendo delle nanoparticelle di alluminio e ossido di alluminio in diverse percentuali e dimensioni delle particelle. Le implicazioni in diversi settori industriali, come quello automobilistico, aerospaziale e navale, rendono questo argomento rilevante in diversi campi.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to analyse various fuels used in the aerospace and aeronautic industry from a greenness perspective. Most of the propellants currently in use have a massive impact on the environment. For this reason, the aim of this project is to try to define the concept of greenness as precisely as possible by some green parameters that allow an analysis of the chosen propellants from an energy and catalytic point of view. In addition, an analysis was made of the possibility of increasing the energy content of HVO by introducing aluminium and aluminium oxide nanoparticles in different percentages and particle sizes. The implications in various industries, such as automotive, aerospace and shipbuilding, make this topic relevant in several fields.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
