A Coal-Use Economics Methodology for Navy Bases. Phase III of Engineering Services for Coal Conversion Guidance.
Abstract
The attached user manual was prepared for a computer program that compares coal energy conversion technologies at Navy bases under both Navy and commercial economic assumptions. Technologies compared by the program include low Btu gasification; medium Btu gasification; methanol manufacture; direct-fired stokers burning either clean coal, Western coal, or high-sulfur Eastern coal; fluidized bed and circulating bed boilers; and coal-oil mixture and coal water mixture utilization. Oil- and gas-fired boilers serve as a base for comparison. The manual describes computational methods, program input, program output, program execution, error processing, test procedures, and code structure. Appendices include output generated for a sample run and the data tables used by the program.
