PROF-COAL code user's manual, September 1980-August 1982

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5008881

The PROF-COAL computer code numerically models premixed coal/air combustion and NO/sub x/ pollutant formation events. The primary use of the code is to analyze pulverized coal fuel staging data to extract process mechanisms and rates. The code includes the important processes of gas phase chemistry and wall to gas heat and mass transfer. Particle volatilization and surface reaction as well as particle to gas heat and mass transfer and particle to wall heat transfer are also included. Several particle group sizes can be included to model particle size distributions. This PROF-COAL code user's manual describes the problem that can be treated by the code. It also describes the mathematical models and solution procedures applied to this problem. Complete input instructions and a description of output are given. A sample problem input and output listing are presented to demonstrate code operation. A program listing and code Fortran variable definition are also included in the manual.
