High-energy-density slurry fuel, preparation method, and application

Abstract

The present invention provides a high-energy-density slurry fuel, a preparation method, and an application. The high-energy-density slurry fuel comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 3%-40% of aluminum-based-metal hydride composite fuel; 53.6%-96% of high-density liquid hydrocarbon fuel; 0.2%-2% of anti-settling agent; and 0.2%-5% of other performance regulators, wherein an aluminum-based-metal hydride is a composite material that disperses and distributes a metal hydride inside aluminum powder particles. The high-energy-density slurry fuel may be used as a fuel for an engine such as a ramjet engine or a rocket engine. Compared with the existing liquid fuel, the present high-energy-density slurry fuel has the characteristics of high density (ρ20° C.>0.9 g/cm3), high heat value (greater than 38 MJ/kg), rapid ignition, and efficient combustion; and compared with the existing slurry fuel, the present high-energy-density slurry fuel has the advantages of rapid ignition, efficient combustion, and no residue or less residue in combustion products.
