Fuel Temperature Sensitivity Vs Fuel Temperature Coefficient

User Support

Hi there! I hope you guys are doing well. This is a general question not related to coding. Are Fuel Temperature Sensitivity (FTS) and Fuel Temperature coefficient (FTC) the same thing? I am asking because recently I came across a paper that used the term FTS which I didn’t encounter before.
Also, I followed the following algorithm to calculate FTC.

  1. Calculate k1 at fuel temperature T1
  2. Calculate k2 at fuel temperature T2
  3. FTC = (k2-k1)/[k2 k1 (T2-T1)]
    Let me know if the above algorithm is correct or not.
    Thank you very much.
    P.S: I’m really grateful to this community. The amount of help and support that I got previously really helped me a lot!

Hello! I would have to know the context where you saw Fuel Temperature Sensitivity, since sensitivity might have a different connotation than coefficient. But it’s possible that it is a similar concept.

Your algorithm looks good!

Best,
Miriam

Thank you so much @mkreher13. Sorry, I have been inactive for a while. And, yes, later, I found that FTS and FTC are basically the same thing.
