97/04534 Combustion behavior of low-rank coal water slurries: Yavuz, R. et al. Proc. Annu. Int. Pittsburgh Coal Conf., 1996, 13, (1), 500–505

Abstract

Coal water slurries have been developed over the last 15 years as an alternative to fuel oil mainly in industry and power station boilers. Observing of droplet lifetime reveals details of the mechanism of the slurry combustion. In the present investigation, single droplet combustion of lignite water slurries using different Turkish lignites were experimentally studied by using single droplet combustion technique. The technique is based on thermometric method. Results of combustion behavior of low rank coal water slurries were compared with that of high rank coal water slurries which were found in the literature.
