Download or read book Transformations of Inorganic Coal Constituents in Combustion Systems. Quarterly Report No. 21, October 1--December 31, 1991 written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technical objectives of this project are: To: (1) define the partitioning of inorganic constituents associated with raw coal particles among products (including vapors, aerosols, and residual char/ash particles) formed under conditions representative of pulverized coal flames as a function of the specific (intrinsic and extrinsic) characteristics of the raw coal and the environment in which the transformations occur; and (2) characterize the resultant spectrum of products in detail. To elucidate and quantify the fundamental processes (involving basic principles of physics, chemistry, thermodynamics) by which transformations of the inorganic constituents occur. To develop, based on the information required in a. and b. above, a tractable p̀̀rocess̀̀ model capable of predicting the significant features of the transformation process, most importantly, the nature and distribution of products.
