The objective of this program is to develop an integrated combustor/heat exchanger which burns coal either as a slurry or as a dry ultrafine coal and which is suitable for use in a range of residential space heaters. The objective will be accomplished in two phases. During the current, initial phase combustor concepts will be developed, fabricated, and evaluated. Upon successful optimization of the advanced coal-fueled combustor, the project would proceed to a second phase to integrate the combustor into a prototype space heater to be demonstrated. This quarterly report describes the work performed during the period from October 1, 1986 to January 31, 1987. The entire effort has focused on Task 1, combustor design definition. Performance goals are described.
