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?
