Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a fuel preparation system. The feedstock preparation system includes an acoustic chamber configured to receive a fuel and at least one acoustic wave generator configured to generate acoustic waves to at least partially break up the fuel in the acoustic chamber.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a fuel preparation system, comprising:
- an acoustic chamber configured to receive a fuel;
- and
- at least one acoustic wave generator configured to generate acoustic waves to at least partially break up the fuel in the acoustic chamber.
1 more element
The system of claim 10, wherein the at least two acoustic chambers are arranged a series configuration, to apply acoustic waves to the fuel in a plurality of stages.
A system, comprising:
- a fuel preparation system, comprising:
- at least one acoustic chamber;
- and
- a first acoustic wave generator configured to generate first acoustic waves;
- and
- a second acoustic wave generator configured to generate second acoustic waves, wherein the first and second acoustic waves are configured to at least partially break up a fuel.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- exposing a fuel to acoustic waves within an acoustic chamber, wherein the acoustic waves are generated by at least one acoustic wave generator, and the acoustic waves are configured to at least partially break up the fuel.
