Lau, Wei Chun; Niksa, S

There are three distinct modeling projects in this program (1) An expedient reaction model for coal devolatilization for large scale combustor simulators; (2) A theoretical framework to explain the behavior of different coal types; and (3) An analysis of the chemistry, heat and mass transport in the vicinity of individual coal particles, to begin to describe the initial stages of the combustion of entrained coal particles. Progress is discussed. 2 refs., 10 figs., 2 tabs.
