Coal Gasification Study Handbook.
Abstract
The purpose of this handbook is to provide: first, a procedure for evaluating the costs of a coal gasification plant in terms of the capital investment and operating costs. These are to be sensitive to several parameters defining coal, fuel gas, and sulfur emissions; second, a procedure for the derating of Navy base boilers, to reflect the change in performance resulting from introduction of fuel gas in place of coal or oil. The gas plant analysis is based in part on a detailed analysis of the gas treatment section of the plant. The remaining part of the plant performance is based on conventional stoichiometry and near approach to equilibrium in the gas production section. The boiler derating method is based on observations of the relative contribution to heat transfer made by radiation and convection, and on conventional relations describing these transfer processes.
