Basics

This is a category of fuels that use Slurrys
The main historical/industrial example is coal slurry/coal-water fuel
- This has varying composition, and some have additives
Mainly it consists of a combustible powder in a liquid (for coal slurry it was water and possible additives)
Can supposedly be used in ICE's and Turbine Engines (Need to see if this impacts emmisions (more soot etc) or maitnence (abrasion etc)
- Supposedly easier in modified liquid burners like waste oil burners etc, but this may be less efficient?
Also may require a sort of pilot flame/other burner to "get it going" due to the water making it less flammible
This also makes it quite stable when stored which could be useful for saftey etc
RESEARCH NEEDED:
- Can Charcoal Powder work?
- Can liquids other than water be used
- Does the water undergo the Water-Gas Shift Reaction ?
- if not can the engine/fuel be modified to do so
- Can it be used in gassifiers?
- Storage?
