Hello Everyone,
I'm not from Chemical engineering back ground. But trying to understand the air solubility in aviation fuel. My understating is, the solubility of air in fuel, stored in a tank is keep increasing towards the bottom of the tank due to increase in absolute static pressure (due to fuel column potential head). Tank is at atm pressure.
Please correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm not getting any reference material on this variation due to liquid column.
My objective is to estimate the air evolution from the fuel as it enters the suction port of fuel pump. Since there is a drop in pressure from the Tank outlet to pump inlet, evolution of dissolved air is possible, which affects the pump operation.
Thanks in advance.
