The overall objective of this project is to perform experiments to understand the effect of high shear and extensional properties on the atomization of coal-water slurries (CWS). In the atomization studies, the mean drop size of the CWS sprays will be determined at various air-to CWS. A correlation between the extensional and high shear properties, particle size distributions and the atomization will be made in order to determine the influence of these parameters on the atomization of CWS. During this past quarter, an attempt was made to establish a theoretical relationship between the sauter mean diameter, (SMD), theAir/Fuel ratio and the viscosity. Also the effect of polymeric additives on the rheology of glycerol was studied.
