This report describes progress during the seventh quarter of a two year contract to study pyrolysis of coal under combustion conditions. Major accomplishments of this quarter have been the infrared analysis of two new coals, heated grid devolatilization of these coals over the entire available temperature range, quantitative measurements of tar and char nitrogen contents, measurements of NO formation during early phase of combustion of coal, high speed photography of tar release from a Pittsburgh bituminous coal, relating the early tar release of the bituminous coal to its voltatiles combustion behavior.
