Combustor sector smoke number and luminosity test results for JP-8 + 100 fueling and blends with S8 varying from 0% to 100%. Photo inset (P,T)inlet = [75 psia, (0.517 MPa), 500°F (533 K)] at 3% combustor pressure drop. Smoke number is dimensionless; yet it is usually expressed as mg of soot/kg of exhaust.
