Study of the Effect of Temperature on the Rheological Characteristics of Composite Fuel

The article is devoted to the study of the patterns of change in the rheological characteristics of composite fuels based on low-ash anthracite at a mass fraction of the solid phase of 40%, an oil phase concentration of C-o = 49%, a water concentration of C-H2O = 10%, and 1% of a chemical additive with an increase in temperature from 10 to 70 degrees C. It has been established that the dependence of the rheological characteristics of composite fuel on temperature indicators is complex. When the temperature changes from 20 to 30 degrees C, a plateau is observed (the change in the K-mu t coefficient is approximate to 0.9), which has a significant deviation from the approximation dependence for calculating the K-mu t coefficient. From the data obtained, it can be concluded that this type of fuel can successfully compete with traditional types of liquid fuel.
