A total of four combustion tests studying the response of various water/fuel emulsion rates on NO /SUB x/ emissions have been conducted on: Paraho shale oil, H-Coal (372x-522 K) distillate, No. 2 oil doped with quinoline, HCoal (505-616 K) distillate, utilizing a 0.14-m dia gas turbine can-type combustor at base-load conditions. Each test fuel run was proceeded with a base-line fuel run with No. 2 distillate oil. The results indicate that the effectiveness of water injection to reduce NO /SUB x/ decreased rapidly with an increase in the fuel-bound nitrogen (FBN) content of the test fuels. The smoke number, in general, decreased with increased water injection, while carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons increased at high water/fuel flow rates.
