Summary:Title screen
The ignition and combustion of single organic coal-water fuel (OCWF) droplets made of coal (30%), waste engine oil (35%), and water (35%) during conductive heating on the surfaces of the machine steel modified with abrasive materials and laser radiation were studied experimentally. The experimental conditions (material and temperature of the heating surfaces) corresponded to the operating conditions of modern furnace chambers of boilers at thermal power plants. It is found that the ignition delay and burnout times during conductive heating of OCWF droplets on steel surfaces can be controlled by changing the surface roughness parameters. On the example of 7-mg OCWF droplets with a radius of about 1.2 mm, it is shown that for processing of heating surfaces, it is necessary to use the abrasive materials with an average grit size of 100 μm to decrease the ignition and burnout times. The abrasive materials with an average grit size of more than 100 μm have an insignificant effect on the ignition delay and burnout times of OCWF droplets.
However, such processing significantly increases the deposition of solid combustion products (ash deposits) with an increase in the surface roughness. Laser processing of steel surfaces is of particular interest in the implementation of passive ways of controlling the ignition and combustion characteristics of OCWF droplets. This way of changing the surface texture allows controlling the ignition delay and burnout times in a wide range of the heating source temperatures, as well as reducing the intensity of the solid product deposition on the heating surface during the OCWF combustion. The positive effect from laser processing of heating surfaces to intensify the fuel droplet combustion consists in increasing the velocity of vapor flows from combustible fuel components due to the droplet dispersion. This, in turn, intensifies the formation of a combustible vapour-gas mixture and increases the velocities of flame propagation together with the dispersion products of fuel droplets along the textured surface.
