Abstract

A method is suggested for determining the effectiveness of hydrocavitation activation of hydrocarbon-containing composition fuels in their production and combustion technologies. With this in view, the notion of the indicator of cavitation equipment performance has been introduced. It allows determining the conditions of hydrocavitation treatment of fuel emulsions depending on the required quality of the final product. The dependence of the performance indicator on the operating conditions of the rotor pulsation apparatus has been conducted. The RPA performance indicator graphs are nonlinear and demonstrate that conditions exist when increasing the amount of input energy has no effect on the output of light fractions. Firing trials confirm the effectiveness of hydrocavitation activation in the technologies of producing and combusting composition fuels. It has been shown that application of hydrocavitation techniques for intensification of physico-chemical processes in hydrocarbon treatment technologies should come after research in determining the dependence of the indicator of hydrocavitation activation performance on the operating conditions of cavitation equipment.
