Abstract: Practical use of coal-fueled diesel engines depends on the improvement of component durability. The wear characteristics of standard materials in the coal-fueled engine were studied first. Candidate ...

Abstract: Coal-water-slurry (CWS) engine tests designed to evaluate a new accumulator-based injection system are described in this paper. The new injection system was found to improve CWS burnout considerably ...

Abstract: A coal-fueled diesel engine holds the promise of a rugged, modular heat engine that uses cheap, abundant fuel. Economic studies have indicated attractive returns at moderate diesel fuel prices. ...
