A feasibility study of oil shale fired pulse combustors with applications to oil shale retorting

A feasibility study of oil shale fired pulse combustors with applications to oil shale retorting [electronic resource]

The results of the experimental investigation performed to determine the feasibility of using pulverized Colorado oil shale to fuel a bench scale pulse combustor reveal that oil shale cannot sustain pulsations when used alone as fuel. Trace amounts of propane mixed with the oil shale enabled the pul...
