Abstract:

Study of small steam boilers of minimum size and weight for a solid-fuel-fired 150-watt powered source was continued. Satisfactory combustion and efficiency were obtained with a unit weighing 2.54 kg. Unexpected control problems occurred. Evaluation of an ultrasonic atomizer for a multifuel liquid-fueled burner was begun. Atomization of gasoline and of No. 2 heating oil was similar over a range of flow rates. Author
