THE EXPERIMENTAL METHODOLOGY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALTERNATIVE HYDROCARBON FUELS
The presented work is the first in a series devoted to the perspective direction: "The use of alternative types of hydrocarbon fuel in modern energy and national economy". It provides preparation and methodology of experiments needed to create an alternative hydrocarbon fuel. There is a description of bench experimental installation as well as a guide for creating a variety of samples of alternative fuels by using it. As an example, depleted molasses beet lean is used as a component of the composite liquid boiler fuel. It provides the results of experiments with those types of fuels and analysis of physical-chemical and thermal properties of emulsions, in particular on the basis of molasses of beet lean and oven, diesel fuel. There is a methodology for determining the optimal composition of alternative composite fuel, which can be recommended for use as an alternative liquid fuel (fuel emulsion); as well as analysis of the scheme for utilization of depleted molasses beet lean along with diesel fuel by combustion in energy boilers furnaces. As a result, it gives recommendations for the efficient use of newly obtained alternative fuels in heat power engineering.
