| Abstract: | ABSTRACT Four methods were used to measure the solids particle size distribution in coal-ol1-water fuel. Both dry and wet screening were utilized for the coarser particles while four different instrumental methods were used to measure the finer particles in diluted liquid suspension. The wet stages of the analyses included both solvent-diluted organic suspensions and measurement after inversion to an aqueous system. Consistent differences in the absolute values of particle size were observed between the four procedures. Possible reasons for these differences are discussed. |
