This contract for fundamental combustion studies of low-rank coal slurries was initiated March 1, 1984. Slurries being studied are primarily those produced from steam-dried lignite coal provided by the Grand Forks Project Office. Contract work includes virgin coal and slurry characterization, slurry spray and atomization measurements, and parametric combustion optimization tests. Also included are detailed mapping of combustion products and pollutants for low-rank coal sluries in a laboratory reactor and comparison of results with computer model predictions, and with data obtained earlier under similar conditions from combustion of high-rank coal-water mixtures. A summary of principal activities during this past quarter for each of the three task areas are presented. 17 refs., 20 figs., 2 tabs.
