Development, testing, and evaluation of MHD materials and component designs. Volume 5: Combustion technology, a review for development of coal burning equipment for advanced energy conversion systems
Abstract
The need to develop a line of combustors capable of burning coal or coal related fuels for a variety of applications associated with advanced power generating equipment was identified. Also required are coal preparation, handling, and feeding equipment necessary for operating the facility, as well as the completely instrumented test stand needed for evaluation and development. This facility, if constructed with government funds, could be made available to other contractors for evaluation and development. The design of a complete coal handling processing and feeding system for a coal combustor is described. Also, designs for two stage combustors for the ETF-1, ETF-2, and ETF-3 are given.
