Title: Condensation processes in coal combustion products. Final report, July 1, 1979-June 30, 1984

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6941720

The emission of submicron size particles generated during coal combustion and gasification creates a significant environmental problem. The formation of these fine particles involves not only a multicomponent, non-ideal mixture, but also a multitude of competing reactions and a variety of types of condensation mechanisms. Control of the formation of these fine particles requires an understanding of the conditions that lead to their nucleation. Our research program has been aimed at modeling the nucleation processes, implementing the model with a computer code suitable for design calculations, and testing the model with appropriate experiments. This report describes the theoretical and experimental work we have completed.
