Abstract
Abstract A STABLE, SEMI-SOLID OR PSEUDOPLASTIC EMULSION CONTAINING UNUSUALLY HIGH AMOUNTS, E,G, 60 WT. PERCENT OF ELEMENTAL CARBON IS PREPARED BY COATING FINELY-DIVIDED CARBON WITH AN EMULSIFIER AND THEREAFTER ADMIXING THE EMULSIFIER-COATED CARBON PARTICLES WITH A LIQUID HYDROCARBON, AN EMULSIFIER, AND A POLAR ORGANIC LIQUID TO FORM AN EMULSIFIED CARBON FUEL HAVING AS THE DISPERSED PHASE A MAJOR PORTION OF THE HYDROCARBON, E,G. JET FUEL, AND AS THE CONTINUOUS PHASE A MINOR PROPORTION OF THE POLAR ORGANIC LIQUID, E.G. FORMAMIDE-UREA MIXTURES. SUCH FUELS TYPICALLY HAVE YIELD STEESSES IN THE RANGE OF 1,000010,000 DYNES/ CM.2, ARE READILY PUMPABLE AND ARE USEFUL AS FUELS IN AIRBREATHING ROCKETS.
