Preparation of a coal conversion systems technical data book

Abstract

The purpose of the Data Book is to compile, evaluate and correlate data in the fields of coal conversion and utilization (except for direct combustion) generated under various DOE projects or otherwise available. These prepared data are to be presented in forms useful to engineers and scientists engaged in developments within the emerging coal conversion and utilization industry. The Data Book is being prepared in a loose-leaf form that can be updated at regular intervals. This is not a research project but rather a critical review and evaluation of existing information, correlations, and design techniques as well as compilation of necessary data. This continuing project also brings into focus areas where needed technical data are lacking. In the preparation of this Data Book, IGT and DOE are making every effort to obtain inputs from potential users and to this end have the benefit of a volunteer industrial consultant group to review the Data Book program, progress, and priorities.
