2 A fully integrated Kinetic Monte Carlo/Molecular Dynamics approach for the simulation of soot precursor growth2002Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon polymerization; Soot; KMC/MD; Kinetic Monte Carlo/Molecular Dynamics; Particle growth; Atomic-scale structure; Molecular Transformations; KMC; MD; Simulation; Kinetic mechanismThe emphasis in this paper is on presenting a new methodology, together with some illustrative applications, for the study of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon polymerization leading to soot, widely recognized as a very important and challenging combustion problem. The new code, named fully integrated...
3 An experimental study on the thermal decomposition of catechol2002Thermal Decomposition; Catechol; Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; PAH; Pyrolysis; ortho-dihydroxybenzene; Phenol decomposition; biomass; coal; wood; Kinetic model; Pyrolytic catechol decomposition; PAH formation and growthIn order to better elucidate the role of thermal decomposition products in the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from complex fuels, we have performed pyrolysis experiments in a tubularflow reactor, using the model fuel catechol (ortho-dihydroxybenzene), a phenol-type compound repr...
4 High-temperature interactions between multiple-metals and kaolinite2002high-temperature interactions; multiple-metals; kaoliniteHigh-temperature combustion flue gases provided the environments for this investigation of multiple-metals interactions with dispersed kaolinite. Whereas previous research was restricted to interactions of single-metals with kaolinite powders, this work focuses on understanding how kaolinite transfo...
5 On trimodal particle size distributions in fly ash from pulverized-coal combustion2002trimordal particle size distributions; fly ash; pulverized-coal combustion; fine particles; PMCombustion-generated fine particles, defined as those with aerodynamic diameters less than 2.5 lm, have come under increased regulatory scrutiny because of suspected links to adverse human health effects. Whereas classical theories regarding coal combustion suggest that mechanisms of ash vaporizatio...
6 Reduction of nitric oxide on the char surface at pulverized combustion conditions2002reduction of nitric oxide; nitric oxide; pulverized combustion; char formation; char surfaceThis study presents an experimental evaluation of the rate of nitric oxide reduction on the char surface. It addresses the claim that the rate for the destruction of nitric oxide on the char surface has been underpredicted due to char deactivation in the process of char formation. Experiments conduc...

8 The coming boom in Utah's school age and college age populations: state and county scenarios2002-09Population analysts have for some time anticipated a significant increase in the school age population (5 through 17 years of age) of Utah beginning around 2004 and extending for at least a decade. At this point the question is not whether the boom will materialize, but rather, the exact timing, mag...
9 Reactivation of an idle lease to increase heavy oil recovery through application of conventional steam drive technology in a low dip slope and basin reservoir in the midway-sunset field, San Joaquin Basin, California2002-02heavy oil recovery; conventional steam drive technology; Midway-Sunset fieldA previously idle portion of the Midway-Sunset field, Aera Energy's Pru Fee property, has been brought back into commercial production through tight integration of geologic characterization, geostatistical modeling, reservoir simulation, and petroleum engineering. This property, shut-in over a decad...
10 CFD modeling for entrained flow gasifiers2002-10-28CFD modeling; Entrained flow gasifiers; Reaction kinetics; Coal gasification; Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle power plants; IGCC; Computational Fluid Dynamics; Coal; Gasifier; GLACIERIn this paper we have described a CFD based modeling tool for entrained flow coal gasifiers. The model contains sub-models to properly model the reaction kinetics of coal gasification at high pressure, high solids loading and slagging walls. Comparisons between values predicted by our CFD model and ...
11 Kerogen oil value enhancement research2002-05-22Kerogen; Kerogen oil; oil value enhancement; pure compounds; broad range concentrates; sweet refinery feedstock.Three general categories of products from the Estonia Kukersite kerogen oil were defined: pure compounds, broad range concentrates, and sweet refinery feedstock. Product development and market research center on these three categories. Further attempts were made to identify and test chemical approac...
12 Quantitative methods for reservoir characterization and improved recovery: Application to heavy oil sands2002-05-15interwell reservoir heterogeneity; heavy oil sands; advanced analytical property-distribution methodsImproved prediction of interwell reservoir heterogeneity is needed to increase productivity and to reduce recovery cost for California's heavy oil sands, which contain approximately 2.3 billion barrels of remaining reserves in the Temblor Formation and in other formations of the San Joaquin Valley. ...
13 Quantitative methods for reservoir characterization and improved recovery: Application to heavy oil sands2002-10-30interwell reservoir heterogeneity; heavy oil sands; advanced analytical property-distribution methods; reservoir characterizationImproved prediction of interwell reservoir heterogeneity has the potential to increase productivity and to reduce recovery cost for California's heavy oil sands, which contain approximately 2.3 billion barrels of remaining reserves in the Temblor Formation and in other formations of the San Joaquin ...
