The objective of this program is to conduct a detailed and comprehensive study of the mechanisms of fouling, slagging and corrosion in pulverized coal combustion by employing well-controlled model systems which simulate the coal combustion environment. Calibration of the combustor rig is completed with all tubes operating at target temperature. Details of calibration procedures are provided in the report. Initial testing of NC-430, Hastelloy X, Croloy and SA210 tubes in sulfur-free, combustion effluent gases containing NaCl and Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ particles indicated insignificant sintering or adherence of the particles to the tube surface.
