Advanced research in instrumentation and control technology
The objective of this program is to conduct advanced research in instrumentation and diagnostic technology needed in coal combustion, pyrolysis, and cleanup processes. The program includes development of control instruments for specific process parameters such as flow rate, temperature, and viscosity, and also development of integrated diagnostic systems for unit process control. The present focus of the program is to develop an on-line ultrasonic viscometer for monitoring the rheological properties of coal slurry. This viscometer may be developed through measurements of acoustic impedance, attenuation, relaxation, and cavitation properties of the slurry being tested. Acoustic impedance and cavitation methods were examined in FY 1989.
