Westinghouse has carried out a program to evaluate coal water mixture (CWM) in a low emission staged rich-lean combustor for stationary combustion turbines. A fuel-flexible combustor that met low emission objectives in previous work, the Multiannular Swirl Burner (MASB) was selected for the tests. A 10 inch diameter MASB combustor configuration was designed for CWM combustion, fabricated, and tested in the Advanced Combustor Development Rig at CTSD Development Center (Concordville, PA). Tests have been performed burning a petroleum distillate, distillate with pyridine to simulate fuel bound nitrogen, methane, and CWM. This Topical Report contains the MASB design, analytical combustor flow field calculations, and the test data summary and observations for each test. Appendix A contains the detailed results of the combustor flow field calculations in graphic form. Appendices B and C contain data summaries and temperature plots for each test.
