Abstract:
A rotary slurrifier of this invention comprises a pair of spinning discs, which throw a first fluid into a larger mass of second fluid in paired and flow connected impact cavities, within a counter-rotating cavity shell. The first fluid is to be largely insoluble in the second fluid. Impact of the first fluid with the larger mass of second fluid, in the impact cavities, causes atomization of the first fluid into a slurry of many small first fluid particles suspended in a continuous phase of second fluid. The final slurry flows out of the rotating cavity shell via a slowdown reaction turbine.High viscosity residual petroleum fuels and tars as first fluids can be thusly preatomized in a fuel in water slurry, and can then be cleanly and efficiently burned in small bore, high speed, diesel engines, which now require use of expensive low viscosity distillate fuels, which are in short supply.
Abstract:
A fuel or other process fluid is cleansed by a) combining the fluid with water and an oxidizer; b) mixing the combination in a mixer having a volume V; c) separating the mixed combination into hydrophobic and hydrophilic phases; d) filtering the hydrophobic phase through a filter; e) removing water from the filtered hydrophobic phase to produce the cleaned fluid; and accomplishing steps a-d in a continuous manner that produces an output of the cleaned fuel at an average rate of at least 10V/hour. A centrifuge can optionally reduce water content of the cleaned fluid to no more than 5 ppm, more preferably no more than 1 ppm, and most preferably no more than 0.5 ppm.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition and process for improving the combustion of any kind of combustible. Also the invention relates to a process and device for obtaining such composition. The variant destined to the firing installations using common liquid/gaseous combustible as well as those ones using solid combustibles and, simultaneously liquid/gaseous combustibles for enhancing the combustion contain −20% of 6% watery solution of potassium dichromate, treated with monochromatic light having/=480−490. 10−9 m; 0.02 ammonia; 0.3% non-additivated mineral oil and −80% demineralized water. The variant destined to the firing installations using solid combustibles −10% of 5% watery solution of potassium permanganate, treated with monochromatic light having/=595−625. 10−9 m; 0.05% urea 0.3% non-additivated mineral oil and −90% de-mineralized water. The process for improving the combustibles combustion by using these composition consists in their introduction into either the combustion air or the mass of the combustibles. The process of treating the active substance of these compositions with monochromatic light consists in that the active substance draining with constant discharge along a collector trough (1″) is allowed to freely drop along the superior generating line of quartz glass cylinder (2″), in uniform rotation with 10-12 rot/min, axially illuminated by a monochromatic light generator of 20 w power and 40 m VV/cm2 light density. A monochromatic light generator (4″) with a colour filter (7″) is placed at one end of the cylinder (2″) so the light is emitted along the cylinder rotation axis, and at the other end a plane mirror (5″) is placed so the light of generator (4″) is reflected; a collecting vessel (6″) is disposed under the glass cylinder (2″) in order to collect the treated liquid flowing along the cylinder (2″).
Abstract:
A jet fuel and jet fuel additive are provided that include a plant oil extract, β-carotene, and jojoba oil. The jet fuel additive may be added to any jet fuel to reduce emissions of undesired components during combustion of the fuel, or to reduce the smoke point of the jet fuel. A method for preparing the jet fuel is also provided.

Abstract:
This invention describes systems and methods for mixing two fluids. A first fluid, usually fuel, can be passed through a primary passage that typically leads to a carburetor or other inlet to a combustion engine. A second fluid, usually air, can be mixed with the first by introducing it to the primary passage through an inlet located upstream in the primary passage. The mixture of fluids can then be further emulsified by passing it over a plurality of obstructions, such as a threaded interior surface of the primary passage, located within the primary passage downstream of the inlet.
Abstract:
Improved fuel compositions containing carbon nanotubes in from 0.01% to 30.0% by weight of fuel have improved burn rate and other valuable properties. Improved lubricant compositions containing carbon nanotubes in from 0.01 to 20.0% by weight of lubricant have improved viscosity and other valuable properties.
