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. Also included are detailed mapping of combustion products and pollutants for low-rank coal slurries in a laboratory reactor and comparison of results with computer model predictions and with data obtained under similar conditions from combustion of high-rank coal-water mixtures. A summary of principal activities during this past quarter follows for each of the following three task areas: slurry characterization; slung spray characterization; and combustion tests. 8 refs., 25 figs., 2 tabs.
