Development of phenomenological model for coal slurry atomization. Quarterly technical progress report

Atomization tests on simulated fluids are being performed. For each sample tested, {Delta}P{sub c} is being determined as described in the last quarterly report. The results will be reported when the coal slurry testing is completed for comparative purposes. The viscoelastic properties on the simulated fluids and coal water slurries are being determined using the Adelphi Stresstech Viscometer. A discussion of viscoelastic properties and their relationship to atomization is presented
