LLL in situ coal gasification program. Quarterly progress report, April--June 1977

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5205914
Most of the engineering effort for Hoe Creek Experiment No. 2 is finished, and detailed documents are being issued for the fabrication and installation of the gasification systems. The design of shaped charges for a possible method of linking coal-gasification wells continues, and, although the plan for Hoe Creek Experiment No. 2 calls for linking to be made through reverse combustion, various shaped charges will be tested this fall at the Hoe Creek site. Specifications for a coal-gasification data acquisition system for Hoe Creek Experiment No. 2 were completed and requirements for the small computer system were defined. The specifications were based on functional requirements jointly established by scientific and engineering personnel. The system will be used for process control and for acquisition, reduction, and display of data from a large number of thermocouples, pressure transducers, and other instrumentation.
