Rheology and Atomization Studies on Concentrated Supensions with Application to Coal Water Slurry

本研究涉及两个相关学科的实验和理论研究，流变学和气流雾化，在大于胶体大小的颗粒浓缩悬浮液中。主要研究目的是提高对浓悬浮液结构及其作用机理的认识，并将其应用于水煤浆（CWS）技术。研究重点是受颗粒表面性质影响的颗粒-颗粒和颗粒-流体相互作用。

This research is concerned with experimental and theoretical studies of two related subjects, rheology and airblast atomization, in concentrated suspensions of particles larger than colloidal sizes. The major research objective is to improve understanding of the structure and the underlying mechanisms of concentrated suspensions with application to coal water slurry (CWS) technology. Research emphasis is placed on particle-particle and particle-fluid interactions as affected by particle surface property.
