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 emissions (more soot, etc.) or maintenance (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 flammable
- This also makes it quite stable when stored, which could be useful for safety, etc.
- Main use case may be Entrained Flow Gasification , Liquid Fuel Burners and as a media for safe Pipeline Transport and/or storage (no risk of Dust Explosions unlike loose powder storage, or pneumatic pipeline transport of dust
- 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
- Storage?
