A new sonic airblast atomization system has been designed and constructed to use in atomizing CWS fuels with two to three orders of magnitude higher viscosity values than water. Preliminary studies show that the new system successfully atomizes a glycerol/water solution that is one hundred times more viscous than pure water. This system, together with a constant displacement feed pump, will allow the study of CWS atomization under various surface tension properties, different coal loadings and particle sizes, and different surfactants. 4 figs., 1 tab.
