Popis: Liquid carbon dioxide-assisted (LCO2-assisted) atomization can be used in coal-water slurry gasification plants to prevent the agglomeration of coal particles. It is essential to understand the atomization behavior of the water-LCO2 mixture leaving the injector nozzle under various conditions, including the CO2 blending ratio, injection pressure, and chamber pressure. In this study, the flash-atomization behavior of a water-LCO2 mixture was evaluated with regard to the spray angle and penetration length during a throttling process. The injector nozzle was mounted downstream of a high-pressure spray-visualization system. Based on the results, the optimal condition for the effective transport of coal particles was proposed.
