USE OF OIL-WATER EMULSION IN SWIRL BURNERS
Аннотация
Efficient combustion of unconventional fuels has come to the forefront of research in recent years by scientists in many countries due to the accelerating depletion of fossil fuels. With the development of computer technology, more and more attention is being paid to modelling using a wide range of specialised software at the expense of more accurate experimental studies due to expensive laboratory equipment and consumables. In this paper a brief review of experimental studies related to preparation and combustion of water-oil emulsion (WOE) with explanation of the process of micro explosion of fuel droplets and dependence of combustion efficiency on the percentage of water in the fuel is presented. An experiment on combustion of WOE using a patented innovative burner for a wide range of liquid and gaseous fuels was conducted. Based on a previously published article describing a wave disperser made by the authors, a mixture of fuel oil with water concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% in WOE and once pure fuel oil was prepared and burned. The results of the analysis of the harmful emissions data show a decrease as the moisture content of the fuel increases. The most optimal moisture content as measured by the heat release rate of the water-oil emulsion is at 20%.
