A laboratory coal metering device for the entrainment of pulverized coals is described. The system uses controlled aerodynamic stripping of the powder surface by a carrier gas to effect the coal feed. This device has been used for approximately one year in bench-scale combustion studies requiring exacting feed rates with very satisfactory results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
