VISCOSITY OF WATER -ATMOSPHERIC RESID EMULSION WITH DIFFERENT CONCENTRATIONS OF WATER

摘要

Emulsions of the water -atmospheric resid type,or water-in-oil emulsions,are burned in different heating units.Addition of water decreases the viscosity,increases the completeness of combustion,and decreases consumption of atmospheric resid and emissions of carbon and nitrogen oxides with stack gases.At up to 10 wt.% water content in the emulsion,the heat of combustion of atmospheric resid (40,600 kJ/mole) decreases insignificantly - by approximately 0.3-1%,but savings of atmospheric resid reaches 7% and higher.
