Process Chemistry of Coal Utilization: Interpreting Performance of Pilot- and Commercial-Scale Technologies presents a broad range of quantitative methods to solve common problems regarding the performance of coal utilization technologies. A logical follow on to Niksa's 2019 publication which covers the Impacts of Coal Quality and Operating Conditions (9780128187135), this book demonstrates the practical applications of the technologies previously discussed and analyses fuel quality impacts across all regions. Stephen Niksa's wealth of experience of commercial applications of coal utilization makes this book an invaluable insight into fuel applications, cost effectiveness and policy. Where applications also involve a coupling among transport phenomena and the chemical reaction mechanisms, this book analyses these with CFD simulations. Relating coal conversion chemistry to practical applications in design, validation, performance and troubleshooting on a commercial scale makes this book an invaluable resource for a variety of readers. Engineers, researchers and manufacturers will gain a solid understanding of the technological options and a range of alternative approaches, which they can use to tailor their own testing and simulation work to effectively characterize and solve their problems. Presents a series of case studies which exemplify several analytical approaches to fuel performance and technology Illustrates a broad range of commercial approaches with numerous practical applications to guide the reader through testing and simulation Solves technical problems to common situations which saves the readers time and enables them to tailor their own approach
