Abstract
Researchers conducted ultrasonic preparation of two-phase water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion fuel using an ultrasonic apparatus with a rod horn. They studied the effect of the position of the horn tip emitting ultrasound into the sample mixture on emulsion stability for water (10 vol%)/diesel fuel/surfactant (2 vol%) mixtures.
They also examined the effects of ultrasonication time and vegetable oil addition on viscosity, water droplet size and combustion characteristics of the emulsion fuels prepared by ultrasonic treatment for water (5 vol%)/diesel fuel/surfactant (2 vol%) and water (5 vol%)/diesel fuel/vegetable oil (5 vol%)/surfactant (2 vol%) mixtures. The stability of the emulsion fuel significantly depended on the tip position of the ultrasonic horn immersed in the mixture.
