The atomizations of CWM slurry and water are done by a wheel atomizer which is designed and manufactured for this experiment. The variables of the experiment are the angle of vane, aspect ratio, particle loading and the mean size of coal particle distribution. The main purposes of the experiment are to know how the angle of vane and aspect ratio of vane influence the size distribution of CWM droplets. The experimental results say there are no appreciable effects on the mean size of CWM droplets from the change of loading of coal prticles in slurry. The mean size of coal particle in slurry, however, influence quite strongly the mean size of CWM droplets. The mean size of CWM droplets is quite strongly affected by the angle of vane. The size distribution of CWM droplets is controllable by the change of aspect ratio.
