DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/505665· OSTI ID:505665

A review of the results of the current period, October through December 1996, is included. The spray characteristics of the double-concentric air assist atomizer have been explored using the Greenfield digital spray analyzer. Prior to utilizing non-Newtonian fluids to simulate coal-water slurries, water was used for the initial survey. The improved performance of the double concentric air assist atomizer, as measured by the total amount of air required to generate a particular average droplet size, was demonstrated.
