The combustor was operated to simulate legacy (inlet temperature 300°C) and contemporary (500°C) cruise conditions, using kerosene with three different fuel sulfur contents (FSC; 50, 400 and 1300 μg gˉ¹). Measurements found that contemporary cruise conditions resulted in lower number emission indices (EI N15) and higher geometric mean particle diameter (dG) than for legacy conditions. Increasing FSC resulted in an overall increase in EIN15 and decrease in dG. The HES stages or fuel additive (APA101) had little influence on EI N15 or dG, however, this is uncertain due to the measurement variability. EI N15 for non-volatile particles was largely independent of all examined conditions.en620 - Ingenieurwissenschaften und Maschinenbau550 - Geowissenschaften01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
