The three main tasks of this study are: (1) entrained coal gasification measurements, which include elevated pressure tests of three coal types, investigation of injector design, cold-flow measurements in simulated gasifier flows, and investigation of advanced optical diagnostic techniques that could be applied to gasification measurements; (2) improvement of the computer code for gasification processes, including improvement of physical submodels and numerical methods, and comparison of model predictions with experimental results for code validation; and (3) application of results to industrial and METC needs through technical seminars, expansion of a detailed data book, and distribution of the code to other users, especially METC. During this quarter, all of the experimental tests were completed. Chemical analysis of the samples taken was continued, analysis of the gasification data was continued, and preparation of the final report was initiated. Modeling work was near completion. 23 refs., 1 tab.
