Modeling of fluidized-bed combustion of coal. Volume III. AFBC/PFBC system models manual. Final report
The purpose of this manual is to describe how to access and use MIT's Fluidized Bed Combustor (FBC) System Program. Presently, the FBC program is stored in a Honeywell Computer System and can be accessed using the Multics interactive system. This manual answers questions that may arise regarding the mechanics of operating the system program, as well as warns of possible pitfalls and mistakes that could be made. The manual describes the procedures an individual would follow to become an active user of the system program and explains the various options available for reaching the Multics interactive system on Honeywell 6180 computer on which the program runs. For users outside the Metropolitan Boston area, a public network for data communications is described which is relatively inexpensive. TPSA, a subsystem of Multics has been developed to facilliate testing the program and carrying out parametric studies. The various input and output variables are stored in a database. The variables are divided into several groups, each group containing two or more variables. The database itself consists of these groups and the variables, their descriptive names, units and default values. The database structure does not differentiate between input and output variables. Finally, some sample sessions are presented to illustrate the login and logout procedures, the command language, and the data manipulation features of the FBC program.
