Description:
The report reviews the first year's efforts under a planned 3-year program to develop measurement techniques for high-temperature, high-pressure (HTP) processes. Several related topics are discussed in detail, including: (1) the design, development, and successful demonstration of a system for sampling particulate from a pressurized fluidized-bed combustor operating at 740 C and 9 atmospheres; (2) a review of existing measurement methods to determine the best available techniques for measuring gas flow velocities, pressures, and temperatures in HTP process streams; (3) a review of various HTP coal conversion processes and recommendations for material selection for sampling them; (4) recommendations for sampling tars in a coal gasification process.
