The general objective of the project is to investigate the combustion behavior of single and multiple coal-water slurry particles burning at high temperature environments. Both uncatalyzed as well as catalyzed CWS drops with Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA) catalyst will be investigated. Emphasis will also be given in the effects of CMA on the sulfur capture during combustion. To help achieve these objectives the following project tasks were carried over this 5th three-month period. Work on the construction and interface of the optical pyrometer was continued over this period. Specifically, the following tasks were undertaken: improvements in the optics, development of the pyrometer electronics, construction of the pyrometer containment box, arrangement of the cable connections to the computer terminal, and development of the data acquisition system (both hardware and software.) 6 figs.
