ABSTRACT
Comparison results of evaluations on the SURFIMP program (developed by

the University of California) on experimental quaternary data on NH^-CO^-
H2S-H2O system are presented. Also, the salting-out coefficients of gases —
e.g., CO2, NHg and l^S — by ammonium carbamate have been correlated and
given as a function of the temperature in this report.
Physical and thermodynamic properties of Furan and Tetrahydrofuran are

presented both in SI and British units. Some of the properties of Furan and
Tetrahydrofuran, such as surface tension, dielectric constants and thermo-
dyyamic properties of saturated liquid will be reported in the next Quarterly
Report.
The heating values and compositions of coal and char analyzed at IGT
for the HYGAS program have been correlated. The standard deviation of the
prediction, using the resulting correlation, is about 85 Btu/lb.
Results from the literature on the carbon-carbon dioxide reaction rates

have been collected, evaluated and tabulated in this report. The forms of
carbon used In the reaction studies included: char, coke, graphite, carbon
black, etc. The reaction temperature and pressure ranges from 700° to 1600°C
and from subatmospheric pressure to 36 atmospheres, respectively.
Preliminary, simulation results of moving bed gasification are

presented in graphical form in this report. The effects of temperature,
pressure, coal feed rates, and steam/air ratios on carbon conversion are
presented in this report.
Literature on the design of the standpipe operation in the packed-bed
flow regime have been reviewed. Various pressure drop correlations for the
standpipe operation were evaluated and are discussed in this report.
Coal-solvent slurry heating data from Solvent Refined Coal (SRC) pilot
plant runs in Wilsonville, Alabama were reanalyzed. The heat transfer
coefficients calculated from Sieder-Tate and Crewe-Simons correlations were
compared to the experimental values. Also, the viscosity, back-calculated
from Sieder-Tate and Crewe-Simons correlations, was compared with that given
by the mathematical model based on the SRC batch autoclave data.

1/80 61003
Atmospheric fluidized bed boiler, pressurized fluidized bed boiler,

combined open gas-steam turbine cycle with integrated low-Btu gasifier,
combined gas-steam turbine cycle using coal derived liquid fuel-potassium
topping/steam bottoming cycle-pressurized fluidized bed boiler, and closed
cycle gas turbine-helium/organic bottoming-atmospheric fluidized bed boiler
were analyzed using thermodynamic availability functions. The availability
efficiency and effectiveness of these processes are reported.
An attrition mathematical model which is used for predicting the changes

in particle size distritubion in a fluidized bed reactor has been proposed.
Results of the comparison between experimental and calculated size distribu
tions for Husly lignite char and Siderite ore are presented.
An introductory discussion on the cost estimates for coal conversion

plants is reported. The discussion includes preparation of cost estimates,
and the use of cost indices.

I. PROPERTIES OF PROCESS MATERIALS

A. Work Accomplished
1.1. Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium In the NHg-CO^-H^S-tÔ System
a. Test of SURFIMP Program on Quaternary Pata
The SURFIMP program of Edwards, Maurer, Newman, and Prausnitz of the

Department of Chemical Engineering, University of California, was tested on
experimental quaternary data of the NH^-O^-I^S-FÔ system. The computation
was carried out by E. Prusniski at the above department with a modified program.
Results on the data of IGT, Badger and Silver, and Cardon and Wilson1 are
shown in Tables I.1-1, 1.1-2, and 1.1-3, respectively; a summary showing the
range of calculated partial pressure as the percent of the experimental value
is shown in Table 1.1-4. The results, however, indicate the need for a better
correlation.
b. Preparation of a Paper
A paper titled, "Correlation of Vapor-Liquid Equilibria of Aqueous Con

densates From Coal Processing," by D. M. Mason and R. Kao, was presented at a
Symposium on Thermodynamics of Aqueous Systems With Industrial Applications,
October 22-25, at Airlie House, near Washington, D.C. The paper will be pub
lished as part of the proceedings in an American Chemical Society Symposium
Series book.
c. Salting Out of Gases by Ammonium Carba;, ate
In the quarterly report for May 1 through July 31, 1979, we showed that,
in the range 0° to 40°C, the effect of temperature on the salting out of car
bon dioxide by aqueous salts can be correlated with the partial molar volume
of the salt at infinite dilution. From partial molar volumes of ammonium bicar
bonate and ammonium hydrosulfide we are able to estimate the salting out of
carbon dioxide by these salts. However, at that time no data were available
on the partial molar volume of carbamate ion. Since then we have obtained an
estimation of its partial molar volume from Professor F. J. Millero of the
University of Miami, a leading expert in this field. With only a minor change1 2 3

to specify a function rather than showing plots of the function, we reproduce his
report almost verbatim at the end of this section, for the use of interested readers.
In therange of 0°to 50°C the change in partial molar volume of ammonium

carbamate doesnot differenough from that of ammonium bicarbonate to cause
the changes in salting-out coefficients of the two salts to be significantly
different. Thus, in correlation equations giving salting out coefficients
as functions of temperature, coefficients of the temperature terms that were
adopted for ammonium bicarbonate solution should serve for ammonium carbamate
also. The same is true above 50°C where our correlations for salting-out
coefficients are based entirely on the behavior of carbon dioxide in sodium
chloride solution. The resulting equations for ammonium carbamate are:

Conventional partial molal volumes of NH,”1" are available from 0° to
200°C. These values are given in Table 1.1-5 along with values for some
common anions. Conventional values are based on a scale that assumes V° of
H+ is zero at all temperatures.

a) Estimation of V° of: NH„-C-0H
The V° of carbamic acid can be made in two ways: 1) using urea as

a model. and 2) using formic acid as a model
44.23 cm3mol ^ at 25°C .^ From
1. Urea Model — The V° of urea is
differences in the V° of acetamide and acetic acid, one can estimate the
difference between V° (-NH2) and V° (-0H) = 55.61 - 51.93 = 3.68 cm3mol_;L.
A more reliable estimate of this difference can be determined from the differ
ences in the V° of formamide and formic acid. Reliable V° is available for
3 — —
formic acid, however, the V° for formamide is uncertain. The value of V° =
3-1 4 _ _
39.2 cm mol for formamide from Herskovits and Kelly, gives V° (-NIL) — V°
3 -1 5^
(-0H) = 4.5 cm mol ; while the earlier work of Dunstan and Mussell (1910)
gives V° (-NH2) — V° (-0H) = 3.3 cm3mol 3‘. The average value of 3.9 cm3mol
is in reasonable agreement with the value of 3.7 obtained from acetamide and
3 -1 — 9
acetic acid. I will use the value of 3.8 + 0.3 cm mol . The V° of NH_ — C — OH
3-1 z -5 "
is equal to 44.23 — 3.8 = 40.4 cm mol with an uncertainty of ~ + 0.3 cm-3

2. Formic Acid Model — The V° of formic acid is 34.69 cm^mol ^ at 25°C.'''
The difference between the V° (-NH9) and V° (-H) can be taken from the work
2 -3-1
of Roux et al. They give group contributions of V° (-NH0) ■ 15.7 cm mol
-3-1 Z
and V°(-H) = 10.7 cm mol based on the results of volume studies on amides,
ketones, esters, and ethers. The V°(-NH_) - V°(-H) = 5.0 cm^mol J'. The V°
of NH2 — C — OH is equal to 34.7 + 5 = 39.7 cm mol-1 with an uncertainty of
+0.5 cm^mol-^.

The conventional value of the V° of NH» — C — 0 can be estimated from

the average value of V° = 40.1 cm mol ■L for NH2 — C — OH by correcting for

ionization. To make this correction, I have used AV° = —8.4 cm mol which

NH2 — C — 0 equal to 40.1 - 8.4 = 31.7 cmJmol ± with an estimated uncer-

tainty of +0.5 cm mol

3) Estimation of V° of NH^ — C — 0 at Various Temperatures
Since no temperature V° data are available for an anion of structure

similar to NH2 — C — 0 (e.g., formate or acetate ions), I have estimated the
temperature dependence from ions of similar size. The change in V0(t°C) —
V°(250C) for various anions is given in Table 1.1-6. The effect of tem
perature on the V° for I and NO^ ions which have a similar size to NH2 —
C - 0“ gives linear plots of [V0(t°C - V0(25°C)]/[t(°C) - 25°C] against
t(°C) — 25°C. Values of V°(t) — V0(25°C) estimated from these results (using
a linear interpolation) are given in Table 1.1-6. Since there is some scatter
in the results at high temperatures, I have also used smoothed data (from the
plots) for I and NO^ for the interpolation (given in parentheses in
Table 1.1-6.
By combining the smoothed values of V°(t) — V0(25°C) with the 25°C, I

have estimated V° for NH2 — C — 0 from 0° to 200.9C,. The results are given
in Table 1.1-7 along with the V° of NH^+ and ammonium carbamate.

1.2. PURE COMPONENT PROPERTIES - SI UNITS
a. Introduction
Properties of ,Furan and Tetrahydrofuran compiled by the Thermodynamic

Research Center of Texas A&M University, are presented in SI Units in
Tables 1.2-1 through 1.2-17. Tables 1.2-1 through 1.2-9 list the physical
properties of both Furan and Tetrahydrofuran. Tables 1.2-10 through 1.2-13
and Tables 1.2-14 through 1.2-17 list the thermodynamic properties of Furan
and Tetrahydrofuran, respectively. Some of the properties of Furan or
Tetrahydrofuran, such as surface tension, dielectric constants and
thermodynamic properties of saturated liquid have not been received from
TRC, and hence, are not included in this report.
Most of the tabulated properties are based on experimental measurements

reported in the technical literature. Frequently, some combination of
averaging, smoothing, correlation, interpolation, extrapolation, correction
or unit conversion has been applied to arrive at the final values. In
some cases, a correlation or estimation has been used to fill in gaps
where experimental data are missing. Estimated values are indicated as
such in the tables and on the graphs.
The data are presented in the form of correlations followed by tables

and graphs (for English Units only). Whereever a correlation is given, the

Uncertainties In Tabulated Data for Pure Components
The magnitudes of the uncertainties of numerical values of physical

and thermodynamic properties of pure components are roughly indicated by
the number of significant figures given. For those properties reported as
isolated values and which are directly related to experimental observation,
the estimated uncertainty (including the effect of both random and system
atic errors) is in the range of +2 in the last significant figure to +1 in
the penultimate significant figure. Properties such as a melting point,
heat of fusion, refractive index, or heat of combustion are examples of
this kind of property.
For those properties tabulated over a range of conditions as functions

of an independent variable such as temperature or pressure, the estimated
uncertainty in an individual value typically lies in the range of +1 to +9
in the penultimate significant figure. However, uncertainties in the rela
tive value of adjacent numbers are frequently less than this. Examples of
this kind of property are density, vapor pressure, and heat capacity. Note
In applying the above rules to properties for which negative values

have no physical meaning, the magnitude of the uncertainties should not be
interpreted as larger than the magnitude of the property value.
In tabulating properties obtained by a long extrapolation or by esti

mation or correlation without direct experimental data, the values are
generally listed with one less significant digit than implied by the above
rules. Such numbers are identified either by footnote or by a parentheti
cal phrase associated with the equation used to generate the numbers.

Notes: The constants D were obtained by fitting to the second virial

nm
coefficients of argon and the saturated liquid and vapor pressures
and volumes of ethane from the reduced temperature T/Tc • 0.29
to T/Tc = 1. They are particularly useful for substances for which
only the data for the liquid state are available.
At 1/V = 0 all the residual functions are equal to zero and Z = <|> = 1.
In the following tables, the values below the critical temperature

are given for the liquid and the vapor phase. Except in the vicinity
of the critical point, the relations are approximately valid from
P = 0 up to very high pressures and temperatures.

1.3. PURE COMPONENT PROPERTIES - ENGLISH UNITS

a. Introduction
The pure component properties of Furan and Tetrahydrofuran in English

units are shown in Tables 1.3-1 through 1.3-15. Some of the properties of
I'uran or Tetrahydrofuran, such as surface tension, dielectric constant, and
thermodynamic properties of saturated liquid, have not been received from
TRC and, hence, are not included in this report.
Figures 1.3-1 through 1.3-8 are the plots of physical properties of

furan and tetrahydrofuran as a function of temperature.

1.4. Heating Value of Coal
Some data on coal and chars obtained in the course of the HYGAS® pilot
plant program have been analyzed with respect to use of the Technical Data
Book formula for calculating heating value from the ultimate analysis.
In the HYGAS process, non-agglomerating coals are dried but are not
otherwise pretreated. Bituminous coals are pretreated at temperatures up
to about 800°F to destroy their agglomerating properties. The resulting
product is referred to as "pretreated coal" rather than "char". Samples
referred to as "chars" here are from later intermediate stages or are
spent (residue) char. Ash in the spent char from the runs on bituminous
coal averaged 36%, but ranged up to about 85%. To augment the data from
runs on subbituminous coals we have added some previously compiled samples
taken from streams, such as the dust collected by a cyclone in the reactor
product gas stream, that contain feed coal in addition to char. Previously
compiled samples^ from runs on lignite were also analyzed.
Gross heating values were calculated according to the Technical Data

Book formula developed at IGT:
Q = 198.11 C + 620.31 H + 80.93 S + 44.95 A - 5153 (1.4-1)
vnere Q is the gross heating value in Btu/lb, C, H, S, and A are the

respective determined percents of carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, and ash; this
is the alternative form of the equation in which (100-C-H-S-A) has replaced
oxygen plus nitrogen. The results are shown in Table 1.4-1, together with
those obtained on the original data bank.
The most important criterion for use of a heating value formula for
heat balance calculations on a coal conversion process is the bias or average
difference between observed and calculated values, because it shows how
accurately the formula represents the properties of coal.

The standard deviation after application of the bias correction is a measure

of the precision of the experimental determinations comprising the data, as
will be discussed later in this report.
Among the 294 samples of raw (untreated) bituminous coals, the calculated
values are, on the average, 18 Btu/lb less than the observed values. However,
note that on the 406 samples of bituminous coal in the original data bank,
the calculated values were, on the average, 10 Btu/lb less than the observed.
There is only about a 20% chance that the difference is real; if so, it can
be attributed to a slightly lower average ash content obtained at IGT,
because sulfur trioxide in ash is determined and its amount cast
out of the reported ash in IGT's analytical procedure, whereas ash as cus
tomarily determined is likely to contain small amounts of sulfur trioxide.
The standard deviation shown for these coal samples is substantially

less than was found on the bituminous coals of the original data bank. The
difference may in part be a result of the limited range of source of the HYGAS
samples; all were from the Illinois 6 seam, and 95% of them were from a
single mine. We think that less variability of the mineral matter in the
Illinois coal, rather than of the coal per se, is a likely source of the
reduction of variance. Differing ratios of mineral matter to ash, differ
ing contributions of the mineral matter to the determined carbon and hydrogen
contents, and differing extents and heats of reaction of formation of com
plex silicates are possible contributions of mineral matter to the variance.
On pretreated bituminous coal, the calculated values are, on the average,

157 Btu/lb less than the observed. Thus for this material, the Data Book
formula is unsatisfactory for heat balance calculations on the HYGAS process;
for such use, a bias correction should be applied or a better formula obtained
by a regression analysis of the pretreated coal sample data. This difference
in bias between the parent and pretreated coal must be attributed to a dif
ference in structure (bonding), because the formula has already taken into
account the differences in elemental composition.
On the chars from bituminous coals the calculated values are, on the
average, only 28 Btu/lb less than the observed. The average differences for
chars from subbituminous coal and lignite are not significantly different.
If desired, a more accurate formula could be obtained for the chars from the
bituminous coal, but the Data Book formula should be adequate for most
purposes.
1-103
1/80 61003
In a previous report we questioned the source of the variance of the

difference between calculated and observed heating values.'*' The small
differences in bias observed among different ranks of coal in the results

from the original data bank as shown in Table 1.4-1 indicate that the
variation in composition of the mineral-matter-free coal probably does not
contribute much variance. The largest contribution is from the experimental
determinations, which can be estimated as follows:
Var (exp) = Var Q + 198.II1
2 Var C + 520.312 Var H (1.4-2)
+ 80.932 Var S + 44.952 Var A
where Var Q, Var C, etc, are variances of the respective determinations.

However, at that time suitable data on the repeatability of the determina
tions was not available. Recently such data have become available from the
HYGAS program at IGT.
Sources of variance of the experimental determinations need to be

considered for the purpose at hand. The heating value and the analytical
determinations (carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, and ash) are all run on a sample
of coal (or char) that has been ground finer than 60-mesh sieve size.
Thus, the variance from the sampling of the coarse sample submitted to the
laboratory is of no concern. If the moisture content does not change
during all of the sample withdrawals for the various determinations, no
variance is contributed by the moisture determination; however, if several
days elapse between the heating value and carbon-hydrogen determinations, a

contribution from this source is likely, either from the change in moisture
or from the variance of the redetermination. Variance can also be
contributed by day-to-day variations in equipment and operator; thus,
redetermination on the same day would not serve the purpose. Instead, the
procedure that was adopted consisted of resubmitting from time to time a
number of ground samples of coal (in the same 4-oz bottles as originally

hydrogen, sulfur, and ash. Each reported determination for carbon,
hydrogen, ash and heating value is the average of two determinations
run at the same time; for sulfur, only determination is made.

Completion of the duplicate analysis ranged from 9 to 46 days after

completion of the routine analysis. Slight average changes in values
from the original analysis to the duplicate, such as an average decrease
in heating value of 13 Btu/lb, occurred; the standard deviations were
calculated both with and without correction for this bias.
The reported data from this program were examined for their statistical
significance. Three sulfur determinations, one ash determination and one heating
value determination, all with differences between duplicates greater than (.3.8 /2)a,
were discarded. In addition, a heating value with a duplicate difference of
(2.8 /2)a and also having a difference between observed and calculated values
of 3.5a was discarded. The analysis of the remaining data is shown in

Table 1.4-2.
The bias observed in the calculated heating values (versus the observed)
for this set of data, 13 Btu/lb, is in good agreement with the value obtained
on the large set of HYGAS data. The standard deviation, 85 Btu/lb, is
significantly higher, as indicated by an F test at the 95% level; this can
be attributed to the higher ash content of samples of the present set, mostly
from runs on run-of-mine coal instead of washed coal.
The contribution to the variance between observed and calculated heating

value by the variance of the experimental determinations can now be cal
culated according to Equation 1.4-2. The standard deviations of the determinations
after bias correction, as shown in Table 1.4-2, yield the value 64 Btu/lb as the ex
pected standard deviation, which represents 77% of the variance found (.a = 73)
for the large set of routine HYGAS data on bituminous coal. The remainder of
the variance can be attributed to the effect of oytlying experimental deter

minations and the variability of mineral matter.
From this analysis, we conclude that all significant sources of variance

of the formula, when applied to coal, have been identified. This and the
absence of significant trend in bias of results from the original data bank
indicate that there is little chance of obtaining an improved formula based
on ultimate analysis only. Some improvement can be expected from a study
of the effect of the composition of the mineral matter. The formula also1

that are only lightly carbonized. To obtain highest accuracy on these, data
on products of the process under consideration should be obtained.
B. Work Forecast
A plan for correlation of vapor-liquid equilibrium in the NH^-CC^-Ô

and NH^-^S-Ô subsystems will be formulated. Our previous correlations
are not very suitable for extension to the quaternary system containing
1 2
both carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. * We are contemplating use
3
of the Meissner system of correlation. After development of the correla
tions on the two subsystems we will test them on quaternary data. However,
the computer program embodying the correlations is expected to be rather
lengthy for routine applications. Therefore, we plan to generate from our
correlation a field of points covering liquid concentrations of interest,
then fit a simple empirical working correlation to the points.
A new format for presenting the thermodynamic properties of selected

hydrocarbons on SI and English units has been jointly agreed upon by IGT
and TRC. Hence, a list of recommended compounds will be reported according
to the new format.
future work on evaluation of correlations for the prediction of coal-
fluid thermodynamic and transport properties will be emphasized as:
• Improved enthalpy-difference prediction for coal derived fluid
• Predictions of vapor-liquid equilibrium of defined coal-solvent mixtures
• Vapor-liquid equilibrium prediction for full-range coal fluids.

III.l Carbon-Carbon Dioxide Reaction

The heterogeneous reaction of carbon with carbon dioxide gas has been
the subject of intensive studies for the past several decades. Much of the
interest in this reaction can be directly linked to the role it plays in
industrial utilization of coal and carbonaceous materials. Hence, the under
standing of the kinetics of this heterogeneous system at the gasification
and combustion temperatures, are of fundamental and practical importance.
In this report, the published data on the carbon-carbon dioxide reaction

were selected, evaluated, and correlated in a temperature range from 700° to
16Q0°C. (This does not imply that all the data in literature are included,
because there are numerous reports and investigations in this system). The
materials used in this study included graphite, char, coke, and activated carbon.
The values of the intrinsic reaction rate and their sources are shown in Table
III.1-1. The results in Table III.1-1 indicate a vast difference in the
reaction rate. Sometimes, the difference is three to four orders of magnitude.
The deviations may be traced back to different origins of carbon and mineral
contents of the materials used by the researchers. Consequently, the physical
stale and structure of the materials used are substantially different which could
result in the difference in their pore sizes and surface area. This, in turn,
could either facilitate or retard the mass transfer and reaction rates.
The purpose of this task is to seek a common denominator, which may

reduce the scattering of results of the carbon-carbon dioxide reaction rate.
Along this line, the reaction rates are manipulated by dividing the rates by
the percent of pure carbon content in the material, i.e., g-mole of carbon
gasified/gm (pure carbon) -min. Furthermore, the rate is expressed as g-mole
2
of carbon gasified/m -min. These results are shown in Table III.1-1 also
plotted in Figure III.1-1. Presently, a factor that is a function of the
surface area of the carbonaceous material is contemplated with the intention
for further reducing the deviations of the intrinsic reaction rate.
Additional literature involving data on this reaction has been evaluated

and will be included in a future report.

III.2. Moving Bed Gasifier Computer Simulation Model
After a few unsuccessful trials, the moving bed gasification simulator

program, obtained from Professor C. Y. Wen of West Virginia University, has
now been run successfully in the Institute of Gas Technology (IGT's) computer
center. This computer program can be used for two purposes:
• Preliminary design of a gasifier for commercial and

industrial applications.
• Parametric and process variables studies of a fixed
size moving bed gasifier.
In order to understand the capability and limitations of the program,

the assumptions of the computer model should be examined. Ten important
assumptions involved in this model are:
• The following set of reactions takes place in the gasifier:
C + (1 - 1/2 a) 02 a CO + (1-a) C02
c + h2o co + h2
h2o + CO h2 + co2
H2 + 1/2 02 H20
C + C02 ■ 2 CO
C + 2H2 ^ GHj
• Tar. CO, CO , H2 and CH, are evolved instantaneously, consequently

the length of devolatilization section is negligible.
• Volumetric reaction is assumed for all gas-solid reactions except
the combustion for which the shrinking core model is assumed.
• Heat transfer between the gas and solid is instantaneous.
• Temperature at the bottom of the gasifier is equal to the inlet
temperature of the gas mixture.
• Constant heat transfer coefficient and constant gasifier wall
temperature are assumed.
• Elemental hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur in coal are
released completely by devolatilization. Nitrogen appears as
nitrogen gas and sulfur appears as H2S.
• Devolatilization is thermally neutral.
• Gasifier pressure is constant.
• The radial effect on mass and heat transfer is negligible.

Under these assumptions, a conceptual drawing of the gasifier is shown

in Figure III.2-1. A system of differential equations of energy and
material balances were formulated and solved numerically by using the
fourth order Runge-Kutta method. A comparison of the simulations with the
experimental results for three different types of coal in a fixed size
(10' X 10') Lurgy moving bed gasifier with Stirrer at Westfield are listed
in Table III.2-1. A design study on a moving bed gasifier was also conducted.
The effects of coal feed rate, pressure and temperature on the carbon conver
sion were obtained and are plotted in Figures III.2-2 through III.2-4. In
addition, results of carbon conversion vs. the length of reactor (for a
fixed diameter bed) with the coal feed rate as a parameter are generated
and plotted in Figure III.2-5. These results served as a general guidance
for simulation and design study.

IV. DESIGN PROCEDURES
IV.1. Gas-Solid Transport
a. Dense Solids-Gas Down Flow
The down flow behaviors of dense solid-gas can be categorized as:

fluidized flow regime as discussed earlier in the Annual Report (1977)
and packed-bed flow regime. Prelininarv discussions on the standnipe
design in packed-bed flow regime have been reported in the Annual
Report of 1978. The complete and updated study of the packed-bed flow
in standpipes is presented in this report.
b. Standpipe Design in Packed-Bed Flow Regime
Table IV.1-1 summarizes the experimental work reported in the litera-

2
ture on the packed-bed flow in standpipes. Judd and Dixon measured the
standpipe pressure drop in the packed-bed flow regime using iron ore as th'.
solid-phase, but they did not compare their results with the available
correlations. Table IV.1-2 summarizes the published correlations on the
pressure drop for packed-bed flow in standpipes.
3
Happel correlated his pressure-drop data by using the concept of
4
friction factor of Chilton and Colburn. Demeter and Haynes correlation
is similar to Happel's correlation but has different numerical coefficients
However, Demeter and Haynes did not propose a correlation between friction
factor (fm) and Reynold numbers (NRpm) with continuous functions of pipe
diameters. Therefore this correlation has very limited application. Yoon

and Kunii proposed a modification of Ergun*s equation for pressure drop -ft

a fixed bed to estimate pressure drop characteristics In a packed-bed flow.

They replaced the superficial gas velocity term in Ergun's equation by the
slip (relative) velocity. The modified Ergun's equation is given in Table
IV.1-2. The direction of the pressure drop depends on the relative values
and directions of V and V . If V and V are both defined as positive for
g s g s
a downward flow, we would then have a pressure drop from the top to the
bottom end when V >V and from the bottom to top when V <V . The above

mentioned correlations have been discussed in detail previously.

Mehta and Hawley consider the wall effect in packed columns by modi
fying the Ergun correlation. The wall effect could be important for column
3
to particle diameter ratios of 8:1 to 50:1. In the development of Ergun's
equation Mehta and Hawley introduced the hydraulic radius as a characteristic
length of the packed bed. When the column diameter is much greater than the
particle diameter, the wall should have little effect on the characteristic
length. For small column to particle diameter ratios the characteristic
length should depend on the wall present. The hydraulic radius depends on
both the column and particle diameter.
The hydraulic radius for a column of diameter Dfc packed with particles
of diameter D is expressed as:

The above equation, as modified by Mehta and Hawley on pressure drop for packed

Barnea and Mednick'' presented a general correlation for pressure drop
through fixed beds of spherical particles based upon a discrete particle model
corrected for particle interaction. The application of their model is limited
to fixed bed of randomly arranged spherical particles having a narrow size
distribution which can be represented by an average characteristic size.
.lOwever, range of applicability may be extended by modification and inclusion
of the average particle size definition and wall effect corrections. Barnea
and Mednick considered the following relation between the pressure gradient
and the drag force in a multiparticle system.

The value of constant K depends on particle arrangement tending to

increase with more even particle distribution in space. It is therefore
anticipated that the value of K should be significantly higher for randomly
arranged fixed beds of spherical particles reflecting their higher resis
tance to flow compared with the corresponding low resistance fluidized beds
which the value of K is equal to 1.0.

The above pressure drop correlation can be modified and applied to

standpipe operations in the moving packed bed. We replaced the superficial
gas velocity term in the Barnea and Mednic equation by the slip (relative)
velocity to account for the relative movement between gas and solids in the
standpipe. This modified equation is also given in Table IV.1-2. The
sign of the pressure drop depends on the relative value between V^ and Vg.
If V and V
are both defined as positive for a downflow, we would then
g s
have a positive pressure drop from the top to the bottom, when V > V^
and negative from the bottom to the top end when V^< Vg. It should be
pointed out that a packed bed voidage and appropriate value for K are
required for the pressure drop calculation in using this equation. The
modified Barnea and Mednick's equation can be represented as:

Packed bed pressure drop data of Happel (1949), Demeter and Haynes (1961)

Yoon and Kunii (1970), Mehta and Hawley (1969) and Barnea and Mednick (1978).
The complete comparison and discussions of the results will be presented in
the next Quarterly Report. However, there are no data on the pressure drop
for standpipe operation with coal in the literature, which can be compared
with results calculated from design correlations.

IV.2. Coal-Solvent Slurry Heating
During the past quarter, we have revised the analytical procedure for the
data from the Solvent Refined Coal (SRC) pilot plant in Wilsonville, Alabama.
All the runs (Runs 64-88) pertaining to Kentucky 9 and 14 coal were re-analyzed.
Higher order polynomial interpolation were used instead of quadratic inter

polation between the reported thermocouple temperatures for bulk fluid and
coil skin. Overall heat balances were also made over differential tube
elements (~19 feet long) of the preheater, relating local fluid and coil
temperatures with the apparent local heat transfer coefficients to account
for the change of slurry properties with temperature. The heat transfer
coefficients, calculated using Sieder-Tate and Crewe-Simons correlations,

were compared to the experimental values. Ue also compared the viscosity,
back-calculated from Sieder-Tate and Crewe-Simons correlation, with that
given by the mathematical model based on the SRC batch autoclave data.
a. Experimental Temperatures Profiles
Previous studies, which used quadratic interpolation between reported

thermocouple temperatures, did not always produce physically meaningful
results. For example, bulk fluid temperature decreases along the tube
length was noticed in Runs 66 (2/24/76) and 67 (3/3/76). This obviously
is not realistic. Also, the overall heat flux profile calculated from the
bulk fluid temperature curve was rather uneven.
Both the bulk fluid and coil skin temperatures should be smooth monoton
ically increasing functions along the tube length, unless proven otherwise
by experiment. Interpolating functions like y = A + B e were considered,
but were dropped due to the difficulties in computation. A subroutine was
developed to allow any higher order polynomial interpolation between the
reported thermocouple temperatures. The polynomial order is limited,
however, by the number of experimental data points available for each run.
A third order polynomial interpolation was chosen to interpolate the coil
skin temperatures and a 5th order polynomial was chosen for the bulk fluid
temperatures. This resulted in a smoother overall heat flux and temperature
profile as shown in Figures IV.2-1 through IV.2-4 for Run 68.

Figure IV.2-1 shows the predicted coll skin and bulk fluid temperature
profiles for Run 68 using a parabolic interpolation fit. The bulk fluid
temperature profile decreases between 312 - 360ft due to the parabolic
interpolation technique and not the experimental data. Changing the
interpolation technique (3rd order polynomial for coil skin temperature
and a 5th order polynomial for bulk fluid temperature), as in Figure IV.2-2,
improves the profile to coincide more logically with the experimental data.
Figures IV.2-3 and IV.2-4 show the calculated overall heat flux using the
above bulk fluid temperature profiles for Run 68. A smoother overall heat
flux curve as shown in Figure IV.2-4 is due to a better temperature profile.
b. Physical Properties of Slurry
In order to estimate the local heat transfer coefficient, various

thermal and transport properties of slurries, such as specific heat, thermal
conductivity, and viscosity are needed. These properties are calculated as
described in the 1977 Annual Report with the exception of the following
modifications in viscosity and thermal conductivity calculations.
1) Viscosity
For each run, we selected the peak viscosity temperature for the model
from the viscosity temperature curve back-calculated by means of Sieder-Tate
a"J Crewe-Simons correlations (value of parameter, n, was adjusted for each
run to achieve this). In previous calculations we had assumed a constant
peak viscosity temperature (constant n in the model), which caused the
calculated heat transfer curves to shift away from the experimental heat
transfer curves, if the peak viscosity temperatures in the two cases did
not match. It may be possible to relate the peak viscosity temperature
to the operating conditions of the preheater.
The slurry viscosities predicted from the SRC autoclave model were
compared to those back-calculated by Sieder-Tate and Crewe-Simons
correlations as shown in Figures IV.2-5 and IV.2-6. For low coal
concentration in the slurry (~24 wt %), the Sieder-Tate correlation
predicts the viscosity better than that of the Crewe-Simons correlation
However, for higher coal concentration ('38 wt %), the situation is
reversed.

2) Thermal Conductivity
Thermal conductivity of slurry was evaluated, using the procedures

developed and described in the 1977 Annual Report of the Data Book project.
The effects of hydrogen was not considered previously in estimating the
slurry thermal conductivity. To account for hydrogen in the slurry,
Tareef's equation was used first to determine the coal/liquid thermal
conductivity and then the gas/slurry thermal conductivity was determined
using Tareef's equation. The thermal conductivities calculated using this
procedure has not significantly altered the thermal conductivity values
from the previous method (using two-phase system).
c. Heat Flux
Overall heat flux was calculated, over a differential tube element of

the preheater, from the increase in fluid temperature and the specific heat
of slurry. The experimental heat flux shows a minimum in the heat flux vs.
preheater tube length curve. This is probably caused by very high viscosity
of the slurry in this region and/or by the endothermic heat of coal
dissolution in this part of the tube. This minimum is found to be in the
temperature range of 560° - 6550F for the Kentucky No. 9 and 14 coal. Near
the preheater tube exit, some runs show a maximum in the heat flux vs.
preheater tube length curve. This may be caused by coking and/or
exothermic heat of reaction.
The overall heat flux is calculated from the increase in the heat
content of the fluid, and it takes into account the endothermic/exothermic
heat of reaction, hydrogen solubility in the slurry and solvent vaporization.
This flux does not represent the actual heat flux from the fixed side of
the heater and cannot be used to calculate actual inside heat transfer
coefficients. Thus, apparent heat transfer coefficients are calculated
based on overall heat flux.
d. Apparent Heat Transfer Coefficient
The experimental, apparent local heat transfer coefficients were

calculated for all Kentucky No. 9 and 14 coal type runs, using local fluid
IV-17
1/80 61003
and coil temperatures and an overall heat flux (obtained using previously
described temperature interpolation procedures) over a differential tube
element of the preheater. These experimental coefficients were compared
with coefficients calculated using the Sieder-Tate and Crewe-Simons
correlations. Figures IV.2-7 and IV.2-8 show that, generally, the Crewe-
Simons correlation overestimates the apparent heat transfer coefficients
and the Sieder-Tate under-estimates them.
Actual heat transfer coefficients can be calculated only if the

actual heat flux, supplied by the fired side of the heater, is calculated.
This can be accomplished by accounting for the heat of reaction, hydrogen
solubility and heat of solvent vaporization.

IV.3. Thermodynamic Analysis
The usual method of thermodynamic analysis has been to use the First
Law of thermodynamics to calculate the thermal efficiency. However, the
thermal efficiency is not always a rational parameter for describing energy
transformation processes. The problems in this approach arise because
different materials and states of these materials can, at the same enthalpy
level, contain different amounts of available energy (availability).
Combined First and Second Law analyses are more comprehensive in showing
that some availability is always consumed in inherently irreversible energy
transformation processes even if they are carried out adiabatically. The
procedures for estimating this consumption of availability are outlined in
this section.
a. Concept of Availability
The availability, B, of a flowing fluid is related to its enthalpy and

entropy by the expression:
B = H — TS-Ey.y IV. 3-1

o Ji o
i
where:
H = enthalpy
T = temperature of the reference environment
S = entropy.
y. = mole fraction ofcomponent i in the fluid
y = chemical potential of component i in the reference environment.
For a pure substance:

IV.3-2
y = H - T S
o o o o
And, Equation IV.3-1 can be reduced to the familiar expression:
B = H - Ho - To (S - So) IV. 3-3
where H and S are, respectively, the enthalpy and the entropy of the
o o
substance after complete equilibration with the reference environment.
IV-21
1/80 61003
It is convenient to choose the datum for enthalpy calculations such that

H =0, and Equation IV.3-3 can be reduced to;
o
B = H - T
(S - S ) IV.3-4
o o
so that enthalpy, H, is the total amount of heat that could be derived from
a process that brings the substance in equilibrium with the reference
environment. The availability, B, is the maximum work that could be obtained
from such an equilibration process. In other words, the availability of any
substance is a measure of the available energy that the material possesses by
virtue of its not being in equilibrium with the reference environment.
b. Reference State
The choice of the reference state is arbitrary if our interest is limited
to the changes in availability of materials as a result of physical and
chemical processing. However, if we are also interested in estimating the
amount of availability lost with the process effluents, it is convenient to
choose the actual environment (into which the process effluents are rejected)
1-3 4
as the reference environment. Gaggioli et al. and Singh et al. have
used such a reference environment (Table IV.3-1) to analyze coal gasification
processes. The other choice of reference state, which is shown in Table IV.3-1
and attributed to Sussman,^’^ is based on products of combustion in their
standard state of aggregation. The availability based on this standard

st ite has been referred to as "standard chemical availability" in the
5,6
literature.

definition.
c. Availability Calculations
All of the availabilities calculated in this section are based on the
reference environment defined in Table IV.3-1. For convenience, the thermo
dynamic properties are generally estimated for gaseous mixtures at
Tq = 298.15 K and Pq = 0.101325 MPa (1 atm) and then corrected for changes
in temperature, pressure, and state of molecular aggregation using
2 3
standard thermodynamic procedures. The properties of gaseous mixtures at
Tq and P^ can be computed by the following relationships:

The empirical procedure given below is recommended for computing

enthalpy and availability of coals, chars, and tars because methods based
on molecular structure and properties of chemical species in coal have not
yet been developed. Based on the ultimate analysis, the moisture and ash
free material is represented as CHnOmNpSq. Its enthalpy and availability
at Tq and PQ are estimated by the following correlations:
H, KJ/mol = 406.29 + 291.32(n/2 - m) + 620.88 q IV.3-7
B, KJ/mol = 408.46 + 135.01 n-261.38 m + 27.63 p + 580.83 q IV.3-8
(1 + n/4 - m/2 + q)
+ 2.4789 In
,P/2
C0„ 'N„
where y , y , and y are the mole fractions of 0_, C0_, and N0 in the
reference environment. The heating values of coals, chars, and tars are
represented by Equation IV.3-7 with a standard deviation of approximately 500
kJg \ which is nearly 2% of the heating values of these materials. The
standard deviation can be reduced to less than 1% if a specific set of

coefficients is fitted for the particular coal and char under investigation.
Because the heating values can be measured with an uncertainty of 0.2%
to 0.3%, the reliability of correlations such as Equation IV.3-7 must be
limited by the lack of understanding of the exact structure and properties of
coal materials. The availability correlation (Equation IV.3-8) is
based on Equation IV.3-7 for enthalpy and another empirical correlation
for entropy. Similar correlations for the ratio of availability to
lower heating value have been discussed by Rodriguez and Petit.^ The
enthalpy and availability of moisture and ash are negligible at Tq and Po>

d. Applications
The applications of thermodynamic analysis in process evaluation will

be illustrated with analyses of advanced power generation systems. The
design data for these power generation systems are taken from the Energy
Conversion Alternatives Study (EGAS)—Phase II. Detailed analysis of the
Advanced Steam Cycle with Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Boiler is presented
next followed by a summary of the results for six other systems described
in the EGAS report.
1) Advanced Steam Cycle — Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Boiler
The advanced steam cycle power plant with atmospheric fluidized beds
(AFB), as conceptualized by the General Electric Company/Bechtel for EGAS,
Phase II System Study, achieves the functions of combustion, steam generation,

and sulfur capture in the four modular AFB's that replace a conventional
steam boiler requiring wet flue gas scrubbers to remove sulfur dioxide. A
simplified schematic diagram of this system is shown in Figure IV.3-1. The
furnace system includes the AFB’s, solid handling systems for coal and ash,
fans for air and flue gas, and the stack. The steam is expanded at three
pressure levels using turbines connected in tandem with a single generator.
Most of the steam from the low pressure turbines is exhausted into a common
condenser. The condenser coolant is water recirculated in a closed circuit
co the evaporative cooling towers. The regenerative feedwater heating cycle
has four low-pressure feedwater heaters, a deaerating feedwater heater,
and two high-pressure feedwater heaters. Part of the steam exhaust
ed from the high-pressure turbine is used in feedwater heating, while tht
rest is returned to the AFB's for reheating to 1000°F. Part of the steam
from the intermediate-pressure turbine exhaust is used for driving the
boiler feed pump. All other pump drives are driven by electric motors.
Electric power required for driving pumps, fans and other auxiliary equip
ment is shown in Figure IV.3-1 by streams 14 through 17. More details of
this system are available in the EGAS report.
2) Results of Thermodynamic Analysis
The enthalpy and availability flow rates for the numbered streams in
Figure IV.3-1 are given in Table IV.3-3. Stream number 1 is the fuel,

contains 3.9% sulfur; 83% of which must be captured to meet the environ
mental emission limit of 1.2 Ib/MM Btu (0.52 kg/GJ) of fuel heat release.
The capture medium employed in this design is limestone. Stream number 2,

air, is obtained from the environment and has negligible enthalpy and
availability associated with it. Streams number 3 through 13 are the
various water and steam streams whose temperatures, pressures, enthalpies
and availabilities are given in Table IV.3-3. Electric power for pumps,
fans and other auxiliary equipment is shown by energy streams 14 through 17.
Stream number 18, stack gas, leaves at 250°F and has a small amount of
enthalpy and availability which is considered as energy loss from the AFB
system. The ash stream 19 is relatively cool and is assumed to have
negligible enthalpy and availability. The high, intermediate and low
pressure turbines contribute 259.7, 235.6 and 399.5 MW, respectively, to the
electric power generation. The net electric power output, excluding the
generator losses and auxiliary power requirements, is 814.3 MW.
The overall availability efficiency, 8, defined as the percentage of

total availability input with coal which is recovered as electricity is:
6 = 2322*0 X 100 = 35'07 %
In comparison the thermal efficiency, n» computed as the percentage of

heating value of coal recovered as electric power is:
n ” afT^To x 100 " 35-78 ?
The two types of efficiency parameters have nearly the same values for the
overall system. However, this is not true for the various types of equipment
used in the system. Thermal and availability efficiencies for these are
given in Table IV.3-4. This table also includes heat losses and availa
bility consumptions expressed as percentage of the total input with coal.
The total heat loss of 64.22% is the complement of the thermal efficiency
of 35.78%; the same relationship holds between the availability consumption
and the availability efficiency.

The efficiency values are calculated to be the total useful output

expressed as a percentage of the total input. For example, the availa
bility efficiency of the AFB furnace system is calculated as:
1145.5 + 992. 4
X 100 - 63.25%
2322.0 + 244.0 + 780.0 + 34.2
The 50 MW associated with the stack gas is a loss, not a useful output,
and therefore is not included in the numerator of the above calculation.
The above availability efficiency is different from another parameter -
availability "effectiveness" - which is the availability transferred to
the working fluid (steam) expressed as a percentage of the total input.
The availability "effectiveness" of the AFB furnace system is:
(1145.5 - 244.0) + (992.4 - 780.0)

X 100 = 47.28%
2322.0 + 34.2
IV-31
1/80 61003
It is seen from Table IV.3-4 that differences between the values of

the two efficiency parameters depend strongly on the nature of the equip
ment. The AFB furnace system, for example, has a very high thermal
efficiency but a relatively poor availability efficiency. The reason
for this is that the availability to enthalpy ratio is much higher in
the chemical energy of the coal than in the thermal energy of the steam.
In other words, the energy in the coal is more useful (available) for
doing work than the energy in the steam. The combustion and heat transfer
operations consume availability in the process of transforming the energy
from a state of higher availability to that of lower availability.
The turbines and the generators all have high thermal and availability
efficiencies. The significant difference between the two efficiency
parameters for the low pressure turbine again is due to the decrease in
the availability to enthalpy ratio of steam as it approaches the satura
tion condition. In the high and the intermediate pressure turbines the
steam is at a higher degree of superheat. The enthalpy loss in the feed
preheaters is all due to the auxiliary power input; the availability
efficiency also reflects the availability consumed when the heat is trans
ferred from the various exhaust steam streams to the condensate stream
number 13. The condensers and the cooling towers lose essentially all
the heat and availability to the environment. It is noteworthy, however,
that the heat loss from these units is nearly half of the total heat input
with coal, whereas the availability consumption is less than 5%, since the
streams flowing into the condensers have a high heat content, but this
heat is not very useful for doing work.
The primary objective of a thermodynamic analysis, such as the one

presented above, would be to compare alternatives or to explore avenues
for process improvements. The thermal efficiency and the heat loss data
in Table IV.3-4 suggest that efforts to improve efficiency should focus
on reducing heat loss in the condensers and the cooling towers. The
engineering experience related to steam turbines would indicate that such
an effort would actually result in reduction of the power output. The
pure thermal (First Law) analysis, therefore, can sometimes be misleading
in identifying inefficiencies. The availability analysis, on the other
hand, indicates that the availability consumption in the condensers and
IV-32
1/80 61003
the cooling towers is quite small, even though the availability efficiency
is extremely low. The major consumption of availability occurs in the
furnace; an increase in the availability efficiency of the furnace would
probably be more fruitful in improving the overall performance of this
power generation system. In order to establish the relationship between
the furnace effectiveness and the availability efficiency of the overall
plant, detailed thermodynamic analyses, based on the 1st and 2nd Laws of
thermodynamics, have also been carried out for the following six (6)
systems, selected from the Energy Conversion Alternatives Study (EGAS)—

3) Advanced Steam Cycle - Pressurized Fluidized Bed Boiler
A simplified schematic for the advanced steam cycle with a pressurized

fluidized bed is shown in Figure IV.3-2. The heat input system features
four PFB modules, each having a vertical stack of six main beds operating
at 1650° F and one carbon burnup cell operating at 2000°F. The combustion
process occurs at 10 atmospheres. The products of combustion leaving the
PFB are filtered in cyclones and granular bed filters before entering
the expansion turbine at 1600°F. The exhaust from the gas turbine is
cooled to approximately 250°F in a gas-to-feedwater heat Exchanger. The
steam cycle is similar to the advanced steam AFB case with 3500 psi/1000°F/
1000°F steam conditions.

4) Combined Open Gas-Steam Turbine Cycle with Integrated

Low-Btu Gasifier/General Electric Corporation
The open cycle gas turbine combined cycle with air-cooling and an
integrated low-Btu gasifier is shown in simplified form in Figure IV.3-3.
The gas turbines operate at a pressure ratio of 12 to 1 and a firing
temperature (at the inlet to the first stage buckets) of 2400°F. Advanced
air-cooling schemes are utilized for turbine cooling and employ extraction
air from the gas turbine compressor. Four gas turbines are utilized in the
power plant concept. The exhaust gas from the turbine, still at temperatures
in excess of 1100°F, enters an HRGS where steam is produced for an 1800 psi/
950oF/950°F steam bottoming cycle. The fuel supply for the cycle is from
an integrated low-Btu gasifier. Compressed air from the gas turbine com
pressor is increased in pressure in a steam-driven booster compressor. The
steam for this compressor drive is obtained by extraction from the steam
turbine. This high-pressure air, process water, and coal are fed to an
IV-34
1/80 61003
advanced fixed bed gasifier. The low steam-to-air ratio which is utilized
in this gasifier design permits the gasifier to produce sufficient steam in
the cooling jacket to permit the gasification process to be independent of
the HRSG or steam bottoming cycle. The H^S in the low-Btu gas is removed
in a low-temperature cleanup system before going to the gas turbine combustor
for firing.

The simplified cycle schematic for this system is shown in Figure IV.3-4.
The 2500°F gas-turbine inlet temperature is defined by Westinghouse to be
the temperature at the inlet to the first-stage vanes. The turbine is a

The blading in both the rotor and stator of all stages is cooled, except
for the last-stage rotor blades. The first stage is transpiration cooled;
the remaining stages are cooled by a combination of impingement-convection
cooling methods. Some of the cooling air is precooled in an air cooler that
evaporates gasifier feedwater.

Turbine — Low-Btu Gasifier/Westinghouse Corporation
There are four HRSG units, one for each gas turbine. The deaerator-
evaporator raises steam that is used to heat the gasifier feedwater and to
deaerate the incoming feedwater. The intermediate-pressure evaporator
raises steam, part of which is used in the gasifier and the remainder is
further heated in the intermediate-pressure superheater and then mixed
IV-36
1/80 61003
or "inducted" with the main cold reheat steam flow ahead of the reheater.
There is one closed feedwater heater, requiring a steam extraction from the
steam turbine. The temperature of the feedwater to the deaerator-evaporator
is 117°F, and the temperature of the water entering the intermediate-pressure
economizer is 260°F. The exhaust-gas temperature at the exit of the HRSG
is 287°F, which is the resulting stack temperature.
Process air is supplied to the gasifiers by the gas-turbine compressors;

process steam is supplied by the HRSG and the gas-turbine air coolers. After
extraction from the main compressor exits, the process air is first cooled
by air-to-air recuperators and then by process air coolers that reject heat
to cooling towers. This is done to minimize the boost compressor power
requirements. The boost compressors are operated by electric motors and
the resulting power is an auxiliary power requirement of the plant. The air
from the process air coolers then enters the boost compressors and is heated
in the previously mentioned air recuperators. The hot air then enters the
gasifiers.
The low-Btu gasifier vessels passes through three stages of particulate

clean-up consisting of cyclone separators, multiclone separators (which
consist of a number of small cyclone separators), and granular bed filters.
The flow rate of the 15850F low-Btu gas to each combustor is 139.13 Ib/s.
The overall power plant availability efficiency was found to be 45.9%,

and the "Combined Boiler" effectiveness was 52.2%
6) Combined Gas-Steam Turbine Cycle Using Coal

Derived Liquid Fuel/Westinghouse Corporation
A simplified schematic of this system is shown in Figure IV.3-5. All

of the blading for the four-stage turbine design is ceramic with the excep
tion of the last-stage rotor blades, which are uncooled metal. No cooling
air is therefore required for blading. A small amount of cooling-air
extraction from the compressors is required for blockage in each stage.
There are four HRSG units, one for each gas turbine, which recover the
exhaust energy from the gases to raise steam for a single steam turbine.
The HRSG design is essentially the same one used for the Westinghouse
IV-37
1/80 61003
combined cycle with an integrated gasifier. Steam is raised at two different

pressures, the lower pressure steam being "inducted" into the main steam flow
at the cold reheat point.

Steam extraction from the steam turbine is used in a reboiler, which

raises steam in a separate closed loop. This steam is used to heat the
liquid fuel in its storage tanks and to further heat the fuel before it is
injected into the gas-turbine combustors.
Steam is also extracted from the steam turbine for one feedwater heater.
The temperature of the feedwater to the deaerator-evaporator is 172°F, and
the temperature of the water to the intermediate-pressure economizer is
296°F. The exhaust stack gas temperature from the HRSG's is 311°F .
IV-38
1/80 61003
The semiclean fuel is water washed and then passed through electrostatic
precipitators to remove harmful solids and alkali metal compounds. Magnesium
is also added to counter the effects of the vanadium in the fuel. The fuel
is heated to 300°F before injection into the gas turbines. The fuel flow
rate is 342,432 lb/hr and the power plant availability efficiency is 37.8%
overall coal pile to bus bar, and the "Combined Boiler" effectiveness is
42.7%.
7) Potassium Topping/Steam Bottoming Cycle-Pressurized

A simplified schematic for the potassium topping cycle is shown in

Figure IV.3-6. The liquid potassium enters a PFB heat input system. The
potassium is vaporized and exits from the PFB in a saturated state at
1400°F, 15.2 psi. This vapor is expanded through a metal vapor turbine.
The expanded vapor at 1100°F is condensed in a potassium condenser-steam
generator. The steam bottoming cycle operates at conditions of 3500 psi/
1000°F. Since the thermal energy is cascaded from the PFB into the
potassium cycle and into the steam cycle, all heat rejection is from the
steam cycle.

There are four PFB modules to heat the potassium. Each module has six
main bed cells operating at 1750°F and one carbon burnup cell operating at
2000°F. The PFB operates at 10 atmospheres. The products of combustion
after cyclone and granular bed filter cleanup enter the expansion turbine
at 1700°F. The combustion products exiting from the turbine are cooled to
approximately 250°F in a feedwater heater which is integrated with the steam
bottoming cycle. The overall power plant availability efficiency was found
to be 43.5% and the "Combined Boiler Unit" effectiveness was 58.0%.
8) Closed Cycle Gas Turbine - Helium/Organic

Bottoming - Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Boiler
A simplified schematic for the closed gas turbine system is shown in

Figure IV.3-7. Helium is the working fluid for the closed gas turbine
cycle. The helium turbine inlet conditions (at the inlet to the first
stage buckets) are 1000 psi, 1850°F. The helium is expanded through the
turbine and the exhaust flow is recuperated with the high-pressure helium
en route to the AFB. The low-pressure flow, now at a temperature of
approximately 600°F, enters a helium-to-organic-fluid boiler. Energy is
taken out of the helium in this heat exchanger; it then enters a helium
precooler where heat is rejected from the cycle.

The organic fluid, Fluorinol-85, in the bottoming cycle is expanded

through a turbine. The expanded vapor is condensed, heat is rejected, and
the liquid condensate pumped back to the boiler for revaporization.
Since helium is heated to temperatures in excess of 1850°F in this

cycle configuration, the standard AFB configuration which was previously
discussed is not adequate for this high temperature. The heat input system
selected was a two-stage AFB: the lower stage fluidized bed cell operating
at 2000°F and the upper stage fluidized bed cell operating at 1550°F.
Approximately equal heat input to the helium was achieved from each stage.
Because of its high-temperature operation, it was assumed that no sulfur
capture was achieved in the 2000°F stage. Ceramic tubes were employed in
this cell to contain the 1700° to 1900°F helium working fluid. The com
bustion gas from this stage was ducted along with the combustion air into
the 1550°F bed where sulfur capture to meet the emission standards was
achieved. Since the exhaust combustion gas leaving the 1550°F bed was at
temperatures in excess of 1000°F, a high-temperature air preheater was
employed before the gas entered the electrostatic precipitator for par
ticulate removal. The heat input subsystem consisted of four modules, each
with four cell units, and each unit containing a 2000°F and a 1550°F stage.
The overall power plant availability efficiency was found to be 39.1%,

nd the AFB-furnace effectiveness was 56.8%.
e. Discussion
The efficiencies of the 7 advanced energy conversion cycles are com

pared in Table IV.3-5. The availability efficiencies of the overall plants
are plotted against the respective "boiler unit" effectivenesses in
Figure IV.3-8. It can be seen that with increasing boiler effectiveness
the overall efficiency of the total system increases. Consider System 1
(AFB/Advanced Steam Cycle) and System 7 (AFB/Closed Cycle Gas Turbine -
Helium — Organic Bottoming), both employ AFB furnaces but of different

designs. As the furnace effectiveness increases from 47.3% for System I to
56.8% for System 7, the overall availability efficiencies increases from
35.1% to 39.1%. Similarly, System 2 (PFB/Advanced Steam Cycle) and System 6
(PFB/Potassium/Steam) can be compared, since both employ PFB furnace

IV.4. Attrition
a. Introduction
We have reviewed the literature for attrition in fluidized beds. A

summary of the review loIIows:
Blinchev et al. (1968)^ developed an empirical correlation for
predicting the rate of attrition in fluidized beds. Their correlation

incorporates all the important operating variables. However, they did
not present any model or e&rrelation for estimating the size-distribution
of the attrited material. Moreover, applicability of their empirical
correlation, outside the ranges of their data base might not be satisfactory.
2
Gwyn (1969) presented a simplified empirical correlation for
estimating the rate of attrition in fluidized beds. He also presented a
model for determining the size distribution of the attrited material.
However, Gwyn did not explicitly incorporate the effects of jet-velocity
at the gas distributor, fluidization velocity in the bed, and gas density.
The effects of these variables were implicitly included in his empirical
parameters. Therefore, in order to use his correlation, a number of tests
will have to be conducted with the desired material at several operating
conditions. Because of the empirical nature of his correlation, its
applicability outside the ranges of the data base might also not be
satisfactory.

Merrick and Highley (1974) developed a mechanistic model for estimating
the rate of attrition and size distribution of the attrited material in a
fluidized bed. However, in developing the model, they did not explicitly

IV-4 5
1/80 61003
incorporate the effect of jet velocities at the gas distributors. It is

recognized that gas-distributor design can significantly affect attrition.
Merrick and Highley*s model (1974) also can not explain the high initial
rate of attrition experienced by Gwyn (1969) and IGT's work (1976) on
attrition in fluidized beds.
In IGT's attrition program,'*' a series of tests were conducted in a
2.5 inch diameter column., with Siderite and North Dakota lignite char, to
determine the effects of gas-jet velocity at the distributor, particle
size, size distribution and gas density, on the attrition in the fluid bed.
Changes in weight and size distribution of the bed were determined at
regular intervals. An attrition model has been developed to estimate the
rate of attrition and size distribution of the attrited material. This
9 D
model incorporates the effects of the shape factor ( s), particle size ( Pi),
gas density and gas velocity at the distribution orifice. The model includes
two parameters n and k (defined in equations IV.4-7 or IV.4-11) which are
independent of the operating conditions and are dependent only on the physical
properties of the materials. It also perdicts the observed high initial attrition
rate which is caused by the high initial roughness of the particle surface.
Thus, as attrition progresses, the particle size reduces, the roughnef-’
decreases and the sphericity of the particle increases.
1) Mathematical Model of Attrition
In developing the model, it was assumed that fines are generated only
by particle-to-particle abrasion and that there was no direct breakage of
the particle into several fragments. This assumption is consistent with
that used by Gwyn (1969) as well as by Merrick and Highley (1974). The

1/80 61003
rate of fines generation was assumed to be directly proportional to the

energy imparted by the gas jet issued from the orifice and to the surface
roughness of the particle. Mathematically,

Due to the good mixing in a fluidized bed, every unit mass of solids was
considered to have an equal chance of being exposed to the jet impingement.

where 8 is a correction factor and Pg, Q, and Vj are calculated at orifice

tip. The difference in surface area between irregularly shaped and spherical
particles was considered. Surface abration is the main mechanism of size
reduction for attrition in fluidized bed. For a unit mass of solids with

It is assumed that, as a particle undergoes attrition, its surface

becomes smoother and its shape approaches a sphere. Therefore, the shape
factor, (J)s, changes continuously as attrition progresses. In the tests
conducted at IGT, the rate of size reduction was initially high and
diminished as the time progressed. Based on such experimental observations

soften the material and change its attrition characteristics.

The attrition model was then extended to account for the wide size
distribution of the feed material by modifying the method of accounting
for various particle sizes in the bed. The size distribution of the bed
material was described in terms of several mean particle diameters of Dpo
Dp^, Dp2» ...» Dpm_i» and Dpm. Dp0 is the largest particle size in the
initial bed material, and Dn is the largest particle size elutriated from
the bed. Dpm is not necessarily the smallest particle size in the initial
bed. The basic equations in the model remain the same as those reported
above. However, the following modifications are necessary to extend the
model to describe the attrition characteristics of feed material having a
wide size distribution.

where Wq Is the Initial bed weight and f^ is the weight fraction of particle
size Dp in the initial size distribution. Special caution should be taken
1 o
in setting the values of Wq and f. . If the initial bed contains particles
of size t)D or smaller, their amount should not be included in calculating
o
the initial bed weight (Wq) and f^ , because those particles will be elutriated
shortly after the start of the test.
2) Evaluation of the Model
Only the initial operating conditions and physical property of the

materials are needed in order to use the attrition model described above.
IGT's tests were conducted with Husky lignite char and Siderite ore, for
which the shape factor was estimated to be 0.66. The best values of the
two parameters 'n' and 'K' in the model calculated from the data are 20.0
and 1.15 X 10 ^ S^cm ^ for Siderite iron ore and 22.2 and 9.95 X 10 ^
S^cm for Husky lignite char, respectively. The third parameter, 6, was
evaluated by a least square fit between the measured and the predicted bed
weights over the entire span of the attrition tests. It was found that the
correction factor 'S' is a function of Reynolds number, as shown in Figure
IV.4-1. 'g' approaches unity at both low and high Reynolds numbers but
deviates from unity in the intermediate region. Figures IV.4-2 and IV.4-3
show comparisons of predicted and measured bed weights during attrition of
Husky char and Siderite ore. Tables IV.4-1 and IV.4-2 show comparisons
between the measured and predicted particle size distribution in the bed,
for Husky char and iron ore, respectively. It can be seen that very
satisfactory results were obtained from the model.
3) Conclusions
The attrition model predicts IGT's data satisfactorily within ±20%.

The good agreement between the calculated and experimental values indicates
that the model can predict attrition data for different materials. Because
the parameters 'n' and 'K' are independent of particle size and
distributions, orifice size, system pressure, bed weight, attrition time,

and as they are only functions of specific test materials, the model has
potential for scale-up and should also be more reliable for extrapolation
than any of the published correlations or models. We will also test the
model on other attrition data and the results will be presented in the next
report.

IX. COST DATA AND COSTING PROCEDURES
1. Preparation of Cost Estimates
a. Introduction
This section will discuss the estimation of the cost of coal conversion
plants. It it not intended to be a comprehensive discussion of cost estima
tion. However, in order to present a reasonable discussion of some of the
problems involving cost estimation for coal conversion plants, we should give
some background on some of the basic aspects.
b. Types of Estimates
Cost estimates differ widely in the amount of time and effort required;
authors of published articles differ in the number of types of cost estimates;
12 3
one reference lists seven, another five, and a third three. The following
list of estimate types represents a compromise among the above, with suggested
approximate levels of accu>-scy.
• Order of magnitude, or "horseback," or "ballpark," over 30% accuracy level
• Study: +30% accuracy level

• Preliminary or budget: +20% accuracy level
• Detailed — definitive: +5% to 10% accuracy level.

3. Mendel, 0., "Types of Estimates," A.A.C.E. Bulletin 16 No.4, August 1974.
IX-1

1/80 61003
The order of magnitude-type is quick but inaccurate. Such an estimate

is based on the known capital costs of existing plants as adjusted for differ
ent capacities. The detailed-definitive types are sometimes separately indi
cated in the literature, the detailed being the most accurate and time con
suming. In both estimates all equipment item costs are based on manufacturers'
quotations. Costs of construction are based on takeoffs from engineering
drawings for foundations, piping, structures, instruments, installation, and
etc.
c. Making the Cost Estimate
In a coal conversion plant it may be feasible to estimate certain sections

of the plant, such as high-purity oxygen or hydrogen by reforming or partial
oxidation as entire units without seriously affecting the overall accuracy of
the total estimates. This is because these items may be standardized and the
costs for them may be obtained from curves of cost versus capacity as shown in
Figure IX.1-1.
To make a reasonable estimate of coal conversion we should preferably

have a process design to size the equipment items. However, while it is neces
sary for a detailed estimate to have cost quotations of equipment items, this
is not always necessary for a preliminary, or budget-type estimate. For these
estimates, many equipment costs may be obtained from correlations or from up
dating earlier costs by cost indexes.
After obtaining the costs of equipment, a major problem still remains —

that of getting the installed plant cost. Total cost of process equipment is
usually a small part, generally 25% to 40% of the total installed plant costs.
The rest of the cost includes material and labor for installing all of the
purchased equipment items. These must be erected on foundations, supported or
hung from steel structures, piped, insulated, electrified, instrumented, and
painted.

1/80 61003
In order to avoid the time and expense in estimating all of these details,
the popular " factored estimate" has been widely used, where a detailed estimate
is unnecessary. With this method equipment costs are multiplied by a single

number to arrive at the installed cost. The factor is usually applied to a
single type of equipment, such as vessels, heat exchangers, pumps, compressors,
furnaces, and etc. The number of equipment types and, hence, different factors,
is not large. The total cost of each type is multiplied by the appropriate
factor. These totals may be for the entire plant or for different sections of
the plant. The sum of these products gives the total installed plant cost.
12 3
Examples of such factors are given in the literature. ’ * This method is
suitable for a budget-type estimate. An example of factor-type estimates is
the series of SNG-from-coal process designs and cost estimates made by C.F.
Braun and Company for the Department of Energy and Gas Research Institute
4
(formerly ERDA and A.G.A.).
The most extensive published development of the factor method is the book
by K. M. Guthrie, Process Plant Estimating, Evaluation and Control. A pre
cursor of this book was published in 1969.^ The former develops the installa
tion factor as a module cost in which the factor is made up of material, labor,
and indirect elements.
An earlier publication by Hirsch and Glazier^" is based on statistical
analyses of 42 plant estimates. They give an equation to derive an overall

installation factor for the entire plant. The equation consists of a series
of factors applied against the cost of the basic process equipment (assumed

to be in carbon steel), plus an Incremental cost to allow for alloys plus

field erected items. The individual cost factors (F) are determined from
relationships between costs for specific equipment items and the total cost
of all process equipment.
thus:
I = E [A(l + Fl + Fp + Fm)] + B + C

F^ = cost factor for piping materials

j
F„ = cost factor for miscellaneous items
B = cost of all equipment estimated on an erected basis (furnaces,

tanks, etc.)
C = incremental cost of alloy materials used for corrosion-resisting
properties.
The •‘ndividual cost factors (F) are determined from relationships between costs
for specific equipment items and the total cost of all process equipment.
In general, the installation factors tend to decrease as the size of

equipment and plant capacity increases, as operating pressure increases, and
as the amount of alloy material increases. In the above equation, the effect
of alloy is handled as an incremental amount. Generally speaking, as equip
ment costs become more expensive due to higher pressure or more alloy, the
average unit equipment cost defined as "Total Cost of Process Equipment"
divided by "Number of Equipment Items," becomes larger. Generally, small
plants will have a higher average unit cost than large plants.
The general effect of the average cost on the installation factor is

shown in Figure IX.1-2 below as a band rather than a single curve.

point B represents a small plant operating at low pressure, with all carbon
steel equipment and point A, a large coal conversion or chemical plant at
hxgh pressure with large amounts of expensive alloys. A typical range of
factors represented would be from 1.5 to 5 (see Figure IX.1-3).
It is not the purpose of this discussion to recommend installation

factors for specific equipment or plant types. However, the factor method
is recommended as a reasonable compromise between the expensive and time
consuming detailed or definitive methods, and the inaccurate order of magni
tude type. While it is not recommended for a bid-type estimate, it is
usually a good basis for making economic comparisons of different processes
comparing different stages of a process development, or alternative aspects
of a single process.

2. The Use of Cost Indexes
Those working in the field of cost engineering will obtain cost infor
mation from various sources based on different dates. In the current era of
inflation it is essential that cost data separated by even only a few years
be brought to a common time basis. Cost indexes provide a way of doing this.
Such indexes are obviously not 100% accurate in allowing for price changes,
but they save much time and keep one from constantly bothering vendors to
obtain the latest equipment cost. Also, since a plant costs represent more
than just process equipment, an inflation index will account for changes in
total plant cost.
One should remember the limitations of cost indexes - the more general
an index the greater will be the chance of inaccuracy in following cost
changes in a given area. Inaccuracies of indexes doubtless increase as the
time span between known and adjusted costs increase. Some indexes follow
specific equipment and those should be more accurate than generalized
inflation indexes.
An example of a detailed index that is used for single industries is

the Handy-Whitman Cost Index. This is a private publication that provides a
monitoring of four industries: electric power, gas, telephone, and water.
The electric power index is rather specialized, but could be of use in getting
a more accurate estimate of changes in some items in coal conversion plants
such as coal fired boilers, steam turbogenerators, and gas turbogenerators,
among a broad list of other items.
a. Popular Indexes for Process Industries
There are four published indexes that have been used in the process
industries that will be presented in this discussion:
1. Nelson Refinery Inflation Index
2. The Chemical Engineering Cost Index
3. The Marshall and Swift Index
4. The Engineering News Record Construction Index.
IX-8
1/80 61003
1) Nelson Refinery (Inflation) Index
This is published monthly in the Oil and Gas Journal. Table IX.1-1. is
a typical example. This index reflects the inflation in the prices of
materials and in wages of construction labor. It was developed in 1949 by
W. L. Nelson, who is well-known for his many publications on petroleum
refinery engineeringThe base year is 1946. It is composed of a 60% labor
component and 40% material component as shown below:
Component Percent
Iron and Steel 60 20
Building Materials 20 8 weighted %
Miscellaneous Equipment 20 12
100 40
Skilled Labor 65 30
weighted %
Common Labor 35 30
100 60
The labor cost percent is obtained from Engineering News Record. Also
given are individual indexes for pumps and compressors, electrical machinery,
internal combustion engines, instruments, and heat exchangers. Miscellaneous
equipment is a composite of these specific equipment items. The inflation,
or refinery-construction cost index would be applied to an entire plant cost.
This index was conceived as an inflation-type index. It does not take into
account improvements in mechanical or process design, construction techniques,
o'>* plant size. Some allowance for productivity is present in the materials
component, since prices of these items reflect improvements (or losses) in
productivity. The weighted percentages for material items were revised in
1956 and for labor items in 1967.
2) Chemical Engineering Index
This index is published bi-monthly in Chemical Engineering. Table IX.1-2.

is a typical example. This publication also includes the Marshall and Swift
(formerly Marshall and Stevens) equipment cost index. The C. E. index pre
sents numbers for plant cost plus individual indexes for fabricated equipment;
process machinery; pipes, valves, and fittings; process instruments; pumps
and compressors; electrical equipment; and structural supports plus miscel
laneous. This index was developed in the early 1960's and first published
o
in 1963. The base years are 1957-59 = 100; however, values are available

back to 1947. The four major components of the C. E. plant cost Index, with
the percentage weight factor for each are:
Component Percent
Equipment, machinery and supports 61
Erection and installation labor 22
Buildings, materials and labor 7
Engineering and supervision manpower 10
100
The major components are equipment, machinery and supports (61%), which are
composed of the following percentages.
Component Percent
Fabricated equipment 37
Process machinery 14
Pipe, valves, and fittings 20
Process instruments and controls 7
Pumps and compressors 7
Electrical equipment and materials 5
Structural supports, insulation, and paint 10
100
Fabricated equipment includes boilers, furnace, and heaters; columns and

tjwers; heat transfer equipment; vessels, reactors, and tank; evaporators.
These are usually custom built according to the user's design.
Process machinery includes items usually bought off the shelf rather
than custom fabricated, and usually requiring a power source and mechanical
drive equipment.
This index includes a correction of wages and earnings for increased

productivity amounting to 2.5% per year, based on a historical U.S. trend.
This correction is applied in calculating the earnings components since the
base years, 1957-59. Observed earnings are divided by (1.025)n, where n
equals years since base. In recent years productivity has not been increasing
at 2.5%/year and has shown periods of no increase and even decrease, so the
index may have a slight downward bias for recent years. Current productivity
improvement is below this percentage.
A private company, Jacobs Engineering, used a method similar to the

Chem. Eng. Index, but with a lower productivity factor.^- From 1958 to
IX-12
1/80 61003
1973 they observed only a 1% annual improvement, instead of 2.5%.
3) Marshall and Swift Equipment Cost Index
This index was begin in 1932 with 1926 as the base year. It is based
on labor categories and on installed cost of materials plus a few fabricated
units. Heat exchanges and compressors are not included. Although called an
equipment cost index, it does cover complete plants, except buildings, in
eight process industries plus four related industries. This is also published
in Chemical Engineering (see TableIX.1-2).
4) Engineering News Record
The ENR Construction Cost Index was started in 1921. The base year is
1913. It is composed of four items:
• 6 lbs of cement
• 1088 board feet of lumber
• 2500 lbs of steel
• 200 hours of common labor
In 1938 the ENR building cost index was introduced which has the same material
items but substitutes 68.38 hours of skilled labor for the common labor.
There is no process equipment and no correction for labor productivity. As
is obvious, this index is oriented toward basic construction costs and has
no valid application in reflecting costs of process plants. Although we see
reference to this in published articles, it is better suited to civil engi
neering type work and is not recommended for coal conversion
plants.
During the hyper-inflation that occurred in 1973-74, these indexes did not
keep up with the inflation. In such periods one must resort to more infor
mation from vendors and contractors.
The above indexes may be used to update costs for individual equipment
items and for total plants by increasing the cost of an item in proportion
to the index change. The Chemical Engineering Plant Cost and Nelson Inflation
Indexes are widely used for updating plant costs. A conservative approach
is to take an average of these two plus the Marshall-Swift Index.

b. Effect of Productivity on Cost Index
From January 1966 through December 1975, W. L. Nelson published a true

cost index in the Oil and Gas Journal. This index was developed to show the
changes in the cost per barrel of new refinery construction. It was based
on dividing the inflation index by a productivity index. The productivity
index accounted for improvements due to process design, construction tech
niques, skillful management, the economics of larger capacities, and better
labor performance (if any). This index was mainly applicable to refineries.
It was abandoned after 1975 because so few refineries were built in the U. S.
that costs could not be established.
During the period 1966 through 1975 the index (1946-100) rose from 103
to 152, or 48%, while the inflation index rose from 265 to 595, or 225%.
Where there is improvement in the unit cost of a given type of plant, due
to the productivity factors given above, such cost indexes may be very useful.
Nelson^- stated in 1968 that the cost of refineries (per bbl) rose only 3.6%
from 1946 while the composite effect of inflation of labor and materials
increased by 2.8 times. Examples of other actual, or true cost, indexes
covering the period from 1946 to 1964 are given below:
---------- 1946 to 1966 ----------
Productivity Actual Cost Index
Increase (1946=100)
i /erage U.S. Refineries 2.653 102.9

Large Catalytic Crackers 6.3 45
Alkylation Plants 2.3 119
Bubbleplate Fractionators 1.36 200
Tubestill Heaters 2.97 91.8
Synthetic Ammonia Plants 13.12 20.8
During the decade of the 1960's, when inflation was low, improvements
in productivity exerted a strong effect. In the 1970's, inflation rates
were very high and productivity improvements small. The application of such
low cost or productivity indexes to coal conversion plant costs is an unknown
area. Currently, we have to stay with inflation indexes in estimating the
costs of coal conversion plants.

presented at Amer. Assoc, of Cost Engineers, 12th National Meeting.
Houston, Texas, June 17-19, 1968.
IX-14
1/80 61003
c. Comparison of Cost Indexes
Figure IX.1-4. compares the several cost indexes on a relative basis.

Since we are interested in more recent times, a common starting value of 100
in 1960 has been taken for each. Each index is a unique composite of a number
of factors. Since it is a form of averaging, no one will be the same. How
ever, since each is a composite of many inputs, in îxed proportions, it
represents a type of averaging which cannot exactly represent a single plant.
Initially, the Chemical Engineering Index showed a lower rate of inflation

than the Nelson Index. However, since 1973 the rates of increase in the two
indexes have been similar.
B. Work Forecast
Future work will include a discussion of methods of calculating product

prices by utility and private investor. Examples will be given for each
method. The sensitivity of product prices to variations in coal cost,
investment and financial factors will be shown .
