Show The work was performed under two research programs. The first, entitled: "Comprehensive Studies of Coal Mineral Matter Behavior During Combustion," was supported by Amax Coal Co., Canadian Electrical Association, Combustion Engineering, Detroit Edison Co., Electric Power Research Institute, Empire State Electric Energy Research Corp., Northeast Utilities Service Co., Nova Scotia Power Corp., Public Service Electric and Gas Co., and Shell Development Co. The second program, entitled: "Effects of Coal Type and Combustion Conditions on Fouling and Slagging, " was supported by Amax Coal Co., American Electric Power Service Corp., Combustion Engineering, Electric Power Research Institute, Empire State Electric Energy Research Corp., Nova Scotia Power Corp., Public Service Electric and Gas Co., and Shell Development Co. Selection and shipment of the coal for the experiments was arranged by John F. Kohut of Public Service Electric and Gas Co. Pulverization of the coal was supervised by Bruce Griffith of Combustion Engineering, Inc. A report of recent work was made available prior to publication by J.-C. Hajduk of Argonne National Laboratories. All of the drafts and the final version of the paper were typed by Bonnie Caputo of the MIT Energy Laboratory. The combustion tunnel was set up for the experiments by Donald E. Bash, William T. Mason, Mark A. James, Joseph R. Leeman, and Richard Gray. Marlene Tagawa and Hemanshu Lakhani assisted in some of the measurements. Timothy L. Grove and Steven I. Recca of the MIT Dept. of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences provided instruction and assistance in the use of the electron microprobe. 34 |
