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

本研究涉及两个相关学科--流变学和气流雾化--在大于胶体尺寸的颗粒的浓缩液中的实验和理论研究。主要研究目的是通过将浓悬浮液应用于水煤浆技术，提高对浓悬浮液的结构和基本机理的理解。重点研究了颗粒表面性质对颗粒-颗粒和颗粒-流体相互作用的影响。

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.
